Microsoft exchange 2010 deployment planning guide

Dear All
I am seeking your guidance to accomplish this job.
First i would like to explain my exchange server 2010 oraganization.
1 no mailbox
1 no hub-cas server(both the roles installed in same server)
mailbox role running in physical machine and hub-cas server role running in hyper v machine.
Right now we are planning to deploy same one more setup for create DAG and give HA.
so i need your guidance for hardware requirement,software requirement and license(include future DR purpose) purchasing.
we are having 1500 mailboxes and 5 database.
planning to create NLB with uni-cost on HUB-CAS server.
please let me know if you require more details about my environment.

WNLB is not recommended by Exchange Team. I suggest you install all 3 roles on both servers after upgarding RAM and buy a load balancer for load balancing CAS servers. Please check this for load balancers
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/office/dn756394.aspx
I would recommend reviewing the Exchange Role Calculator for Exchange (http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2013/05/14/released-exchange-2013-server-role-requirements-calculator.aspx)
after you ran a Get-MailboxReport (http://exchangeserverpro.com/get-mailboxreport-ps1-v1-02-released/) and MessageStats.ps1 (http://blogs.technet.com/b/neiljohn/archive/2011/08/09/user-profile-analysis-for-exchange-server-2010.aspx).
The MessageStats.ps1 and the Get-MailboxReport will give you the averages needed to fill out the sizing that the calculator requires.

BB Torch 9810 direct access mailbox Microsoft Exchange 2010

Hi,
Wanna check whether in anyway my BB could direct access mailbox Microsoft Exchange 2010 without BES (private and/or Company). Thanks
BR

Hi eddiesonka,
"Why" is truly a difficult question for us end users to truly know the answer to. Typically, I shy away from those since, well, not being an insider, I can only have my own personal theories. But, this topic is one that I'm OK presenting my theories on.
The basic answer is that different is different. Non-BB devices do things in their way, BBs do them in their way. Consequently, we all have choice, which is a good thing in a free market society, I think!
Unlike other devices (e.g., ActiveSync), BBs do not technically have a full on-device email client. Other devices, with a full on-device client, conduct all device to email server activities directly. BBs use the carrier/RIM hosted BIS service as an intermediary between the BB and the email server. The main benefit is one of data plan consumption. With non-BBs, the full on device email client must check the server for new email on a periodic basis (yes, I know that some services have more PUSH, but many are still PULL), generating traffic over the carrier data network even when there is no new email on the server. With BBs, that "check for new email" is done by BIS, completely independent of the BB...so no traffic to the BB is generated unless BIS finds something on the server that needs to come to the BB. For folks on limited data plans and limited WiFi access, this can become important.
So, it is up to the consumer to completely research the different choices available to them...and make their selection according to their own unique set of requirements and desires. RIM is advancing BIS...with GMail and Yahoo, there now are some calendar and contact OTA synchronization capabilities that did not exist in the past. With luck, they will continue to develop BIS and enable more and more OTA functions to BIS-level customers -- while, of course, at the same time, preserving their dominance in the mobile security world! And remember, for enterprises, RIM has made BES-X totally free...
Hope that helps!

Hi,
Blank reports can be a common issue with System Center Operations Manager. These are caused by many different reasons, and for the focus of this article we will discuss the following:
1. The wrong type of entity was selected as the report target.
2. The corresponding performance collection rule or the script that generates the performance data is not enabled for the report target.
3. There is a functional problem with the Health Service on the agent.
4. Management servers are unable to insert data into the OperationsManagerDW database.
5. Data is stuck in the staging tables in the OperationsManagerDW database.
More details:
https://support2.microsoft.com/kb/2573329?wa=wsignin1.0
In addition, it is suggested to configure the Exchange management pack according to the mangement pack guide.
And here are two links that should be helpful for you regarding to this issue, please refer to them:

OSX 10.5.8 and Microsoft Exchange 2010

Hello
Is it possible to get Entourage on Mac OSX 10.5.8 to work with A microsoft exchange 2010 server? I know it will work if we upgrade to Snow Leopard but some of our staff still have power pc macs and therefore can't use Snow Leopard.
Thanks

There is no reason why it should not work, it worked with exchange 2003 and 2007.

My macbook air cannot sync with my office microsoft exchange 2010 mail server

My macbook air cannot sync with my office microsoft exchange 2010 mail server.
It used to work perfectly, and then I lost connection and was never able to establish one. I re-istalled my e-mail account several times, no success.

I am sure all of you got your email issues sorted out by now but i was having trouble settings up exchange email on my Iphone 5S, and the problem i found was to go to settings, icloud, then log into icloud with your apple id first (before setting up the exchange email). Once i logged into my icloud account on my Phone 5S, the exchange server email starting working and synching right away.
to confirm this worked, i even deleted my email account and deleted my Icloud accounts both from my iphone was able to simulated the same exact problem (exchange server would not sync with my Iphone 5S) until i logged back into my Icloud account on my 5S.
Again once i logged into Icloud, the exchange server issues went completely away.
Just wanted to post this so anyone else having the issue could see.

Exchange 2010 deployment in Exchange 2003 Environment

Hello,
I have recently installed Exchange 2010 in an Exchange 2003 environment. I need some help migrating all my settings over to Exchange 2010
-- mailboxes, recipient policies, offline address book, free/busy, etc.
I have looked at these following TechNet sheets for assistance, but getting a bit confused:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa996719.aspx (Exchange 2013 System
Requirements)http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee332348.aspx (Upgrade
from Exchange 2003 Client Access)http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa998186.aspx
(Exchange 2003 - Planning Roadmap for Upgrade and Coexistence)http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee681662.aspx (Install
Exchange 2010 in a Mixed Exchange 2003 and Exchange 2007 Organization)
I have two domain controllers. Exchange 2010 is not installed on a DC, but Exchange 2003 is on one of them. I want to eventually decommission
the Exchange 2003 environment and implement and Edge Server in its place. Exchange 2010 is installed on a Virtual Machine. It's running SP3, the latest service pack. Exchange 2003 is on a physical machine and it's running SP2.
Please help me simplify what exactly I need to do to migrate 2003 configurations over to 2010.
Thank you for you much appreciated assistance.

Hi
I would install a new DC and seize the MSO roles to the highest server. Remember you can install server 2012 but not R2 yet.
You can setup your connectors on exchange 2010 to send/receive mail to the internet. make sure your ISP allows the new server.
You can also setup a routing group connector so that mail flows from EX2003 to EX2010 and vice versa during your transition period.
Remember to replicate your public folders to the new server and if you have a lot of data be patient. Once you happy with everthing then decomission the old DC.
Hello,
All FSMO roles are transferred (not seized) on my Windows 2008 R2 Standard Domain Controller. I transferred all the roles off my Windows 2003 Domain Controller. The W2K3 DC is also my Exchange Server 2003 SP2. I specifically did not want to
install Exchange 2010 on a DC. It's on its own member server.
Should I make the Exchange 2003 Server a Front-End Server when I create a routing group for mail flow to Exchange 2010? I want to eventually implement an Edge. Also, can I have mail flow from the Internet directly to the Hub and bypass the Exchange
2003 mail flow?

Microsoft Exchange 2010 and Outlook 2013

My colleagues computer suddenly crashed yesterday and it wouldn't restart without a system restore.
Now when we try to open up Outlook it says that you must connect to Microsoft Exchange at least once before you can usse your Outlook Data file (.ost)
Also The PC has lost the trust relationship on the domain
We have exchange 2010 and the servers OS is Microsoft Windows Small Business Server 2011 and the Client PC is running off of Windows 8.
Can you please help me resolve this issue?
kind regards
Steve Bradshaw
[email protected]

It might be possible that the MAPI key (which enables Outlook to synchronize with Exchange) has been deleted due to the System crash. So, in order to establish the connection, you need to Reconnect the OST file to the original MAPI profile and then reconnect
then MAPI profile to Exchange Server.
If the above method fails to resolve the issue, then the best option for you would be to take the help of any professional OST to PST Conversion Software, which will help you to Extract data from your OST file and convert it to PST file which you can import
back to your Outlook to establish the connection with Exchange Server again.

Microsoft Exchange 2010 / Office Pro 2013 - Contact Issues

Good Morning Everyone.
We are running MS Exchange 2010 and have recently upgraded all our clients to MS Office 2013 Pro from Office 2007.
We've had problems with people being able to access previously accessible share folders etc. but we've managed to resolve them. What we are having problems with are peoples personal contacts....
Within Outlook If we click "New Email", then we click "To", choose address book and select "Contacts" (Personal contacts) we receive the error:
"The Address list cannot be displayed. The contacts folder associated with this address list could not be opened; it may have been moved or deleted, or you do not have permissions. For information on how to remove this folder from
the outlook address book, see Microsoft Outlook Help"
The unusual thing is, if we go to the people tabs at the bottom (Mail, Calender, People etc") Then we can access the address book without issue?
Any help would be appreciated, this problem is on every single client...
Regards
Steve Skingle

Hi,
Please make sure the Contact folder is enabled as an email address book in Outlook. We can check this by right-clicking on the personal contact folder, select
Properties, then Outlook Address Book tab.
Check if the “Show this folder as an email Address Book” option is ticked. If not, tick it and restart Outlook to check the result.
Please let me know the result.

Contact Corruption with Microsoft Exchange 2010

I currently have a client with a Sprint palm pre who has roughly 1500 contacts. I have set up his phone to sync directly with the exchange server over the air (This is the only account that is set up on the device) E-mail works fine, calendar and contacts appear to work fine, however it seems at random that the pre deletes certain pieces of information out of contacts (phone numbers being deleted, e-mail addresses having random erratic characters inserted, sometimes my client will enter a new contact and it will not sync at all, it doesn’t even show up on the device) He currently uses 3 separate PC’s 2 with outlook 2003, one with outlook 2007. There have not been any contact issues similar to this before the palm pre was synchronized with their new exchange server. The device has been hard wiped and re-synced (an arduously long process, the problem is still persisting. I have also checked for any software / firmware updates, everything looks to be the latest version available.
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

Important detail I missed. The client is running MS Exchange 2010. Is there a compatability list somewhere on palm's site?

Multi site Exchange 2010 deployment. Failover and Autodiscover

I have made some significant changes to my Exchange environment that have me a little confused as to how to proceed.
A few months ago I upgraded from SP1 to SP3 UR5 and my previous strategy for DR stopped working.
Just to give a little background:
I have two sites connected with a 100Mb ethernet link that each have a dag member with a hub transport and two CAS servers. These servers at each site are load balanced with a Kemp Technologies LM-2200 cluster.
Previous to the upgrade we were working in warm standby where a passive copy of the mailbox databases were being held in the second site but not being used until needed. When needed we would change the load balancer to connect users to the second site
or in the case of a site failure we would change DNS to point to the second site. After the upgrade things changed and I could no longer do cross site RPC out of the box and when I enabled cross site RPC it still did not work like previous so I figured
this would be a good opportunity to strengthen my setup and try to go for a more automatic failover design were each site gets its own namespace and the CAS servers can redirect users to the correct site based on the current state of the DAG.
This works great aside from the folks who are not connected to the domain to get SCP. For instance I have activesync devices and OWA users on the outside. If the primary site goes down before these devices make an attempt to connect they will
not know that the site is down and their mailbox is now active in the secondary site. The device will just fail to connect.
Is there any way to make autodiscover site resilient? The only thing I can think of is using round robin DNS for autodiscover but that would likely cause some connection troubles if the site that is randomly resolved happens to be down.
Thoughts on this would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Nick

I realize that DAC mode does nothing but prevent the databases from mounting without open communication between the DAG members. I was not insinuating that it would help with my DR strategy other than that I know I could run into trouble if I do not
enable it and the DAG members come online but cannot talk to each other.
I realize that the alternate witness does not activate without intervention. If you read my reply you would see that I am not interested in full DR being automatic.
"I do not expect to have zero intervention when doing a datacenter switchover but I would prefer to have it as automated as possible when there is a simple failure of the primary dag member and the witness is still available. We have had this happen
a few times when the information store service has failed due to bugs in old code and the second site came online without difficulty."
I realize that everyone says HA should be provided by DAG nodes in the same site but I do not have that luxury right now. In most of the cases were this would even apply a second DAG member in the same site would do me no good because typically the
issues that have caused failover in the past have been related to the underlying systems of our VM environment (storage, network, blade chassis). There is no reason that an automatic failover DAG cannot be maintained across a strong Ethernet link between
sites as long as the limitations are well documented and followed.
In the case that I have to run Exchange out of the DR site alone I would bring up the alternate witness server and remove the primary DAG member from service giving the DR site majority and users would connect to Exchange via the DR namespace.
Regardless of all that the original question I had has not been answered. How does autodiscover get handled in a scenario like this? If my autodiscover addresses are pointed at a site that is not operational devices will not know where to go
for services. Is my only option to repoint DNS and wait hours for the record changes to propagate?

Microsoft Exchange 2010 does not work

I debated a long time between a Galaxy S3 and an Iphone 5. I had an Incredible and loved it. I went with the Galaxy, and it is basically unusable for my email. I just got it yesterday. I spent 2 hours on Verizon support, and the tech couldn't fix it. I took it back to the store where they couldn't fit it either, but told me it was probably a problem with the server. Yet, the Incredible worked just fine with the same server. I get the email, but sometimes it will open when I tap on an individual email and sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes when I open the email from the home screen, it just is black. Sometimes it loads and freezes. I have been researching this on the net, and it looks like, as someone said, "there are lots of problems" about this very issue. Now I have a very expensive, new phone that does not work for me.

Incoming Emails disappearing. I just spent over an hour at the Verizon store. They could not help with this issue of incoming emails disappearing. I had to explain the problem several times as she could not understand this issue. We called Tech Support from the store who advises that Samsung is having issues with emails disappearing. I was told they were working on a fix and it should have been fixed by Dec 26. I purchased my phone prior to this date and my emails have always disappeared. It's frustrating going from a Droix X dumbphone to something that I expect to work and it doesn't! Otherwise the phone is great! I just need to be patient while they work on a solution which I am not. Verizon also recommended that I call Samsung directly!

I have existing Exchange Server 2010 Hybrid Deployment. Planning to migrate to Exchange 2013. However, while schema update, i am facing some errors/warnings as can be seen in attached screenshot.
I have already checked and current functional level in DC is Windows Server 2003. What could be the best steps to troubleshoot the problems and proceed further with Exchange 2013 installation?
Thanks

Hi Muhammad
Can you please give few more information about your environment so that people around here can help you out
I have existing Exchange Server 2010 Hybrid Deployment - Do you have Exchange 2010 and Office 365 in a
hybrid setup now ?
Are you trying to upgrade your on premise Exchange 2010 servers to Exchange 2013 ?
Or Are you trying to migrate your on premise Exchange 2010 to a different forest to Exchange 2013 ?
You can try the below suggestions-
I would better suggest you to follow Microsoft Exchange Server Deployment Assistant - http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/office/dn756393.aspx

Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013 Migration and Architect a resilient and high availability exchange setup

Hi,
I currently have a single Exchange 2010 Server that has all the roles supporting about 500 users. I plan to upgrade to 2013 and move to a four server HA Exchange setup (a CAS array with 2 Server as CAS servers and one DAG with 2 mailbox Servers). My
goal is to plan out the transition in steps with no downtime. Email is most critical with my company.
Exchange 2010 is running SP3 on a Windows Server 2010 and a Separate Server as archive. In the new setup, rather than having a separate server for archiving, I am just going to put that on a separate partition.
Here is what I have planned so far.
1. Build out four Servers. 2 CAS and 2 Mailbox Servers. Mailbox Servers have 4 partitions each. One for OS. Second for DB. Third for Logs and Fourth for Archives.
2. Prepare AD for exchange 2013.
3. Install Exchange roles. CAS on two servers and mailbox on 2 servers. Add a DAG. Someone had suggested to me to use an odd number so 3 or 5. Is that a requirement?
4. I am using a third party load balancer for CAS array instead of NLB so I will be setting up that.
5. Do post install to ready up the new CAS. While doing this, can i use the same parameters as assigned on exchange 2010 like can i use the webmail URL for outlook anywhere, OAB etc.
6. Once this is done. I plan to move a few mailboxes as test to the new mailbox servers or DAG.
7. Testing outlook setups on new servers. inbound and outbound email tests.
once this is done, I can migrate over and point all my MX records to the new servers.
Please let me know your thoughts and what am I missing. I like to solidify a flowchart of all steps that I need to do before I start the migration.
thank you for your help in advance

Hi,
okay, you can use 4 virtual servers. But there is no need to deploy dedicated server roles (CAS + MBX). It is better to deploy multi-role Exchange servers, also virtual! You could install 2 multi-role servers and if the company growths, install another multi-role,
and so on. It's much more simpler, better and less expensive.
CAS-Array is only an Active Directory object, nothing more. The load balancer controls the sessions on which CAS the user will terminate. You can read more at
http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2014/03/05/load-balancing-in-exchange-2013.aspx Also there is no session affinity required.
First, build the complete Exchange 2013 architecture. High availability for your data is a DAG and for your CAS you use a load balancer.
On channel 9 there is many stuff from MEC:
