Before migrating exchange server, Make a plan
try to practcice on lab. " Production environment and practice lab is entire different"
I dont know your environment. Hope your Domain controller and Exchange environment is residing in same place. If it is different site, move FSMO roles to that site for installing purpose.
IT is really challenge and excitement .
Try to find the solution of client outlook connectivity,
I had this problem, after I install Cumulative update, this problem gone.
Login ECP console after install exchange server,
Certificate installation,
DNS pointing, port forward,
Apply auto discover.
I faced another issue as well during the installation. My ex admin upgraded exchange server 2003 to 2007. He may not uninstall exchange server 2003 properly. Exchange server
2003 record was in active directory. Exchange 2013 doesnt suport mixed version of exchange 2003 and 2013. I have to delete the Exchange server 2003 record under DNS and Adsiedit. After that only exchange server 2013 allow to continue to install.
Best of Luck " Nothing is impossible"

Redirection loop detected while opening Exchange 2007 mailboxes through Exchange 2013 OWA page

Team, in our infra Exchange 2013 CU8 & Exchange 2007 SP3 RU15 running. Exchange 2013 recently deployed but while opening exchange 2007 users mailbox through 2013 OWA getting error "Redirection loop detected". Want to update you few things :
Public DNS record created as mail.myinfra.in with x.x.x.2 IP and legacy.myinfra.in with x.x.x.3 IP.
Virtual directory modified mail.myinfra.in for 2013 & legacy.myinfra.in for 2007.
All the OWA request need to pass through public DNS only no internal DNS record for OWA.
Through ISA already rule created and tested also like https://mail.myinfra.in/owa giving me 2013 OWA page & https://legacy.myinfra.in/owa giving 2007 owa page. Only problem while opening https://mail.myinfra.in/owa with 2013 mailbox id/pwd working fine
but with 2007 mailbox id/pwd giving error "Redirection loop detected".
Appreciate if you can help quickly.

Hello
tip: check iis log on both of exch servers and check owa application haven't got "HTTP redirect" enabled.
sorry my english

Connect to Exchange 2007 Mailboxes with Exchange 2013 Management shell

Hello,
I was wondering if it is possible to use the Exchange 2013 Management Shell with the older version of Exchange 2007. When I run the console now it give me an error saying no exchange servers are available in the Active Directory site. When I use Exchange
management shell for 2007 the errors do not appear. Wondering if the management shell is backwards compatible.
Thanks,

No. your management shell MUST be the same roll-up version of exchange. I have applied updates and learned the hard way to block all updates that go beyond the server version you are
running.
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/240.exchange-server-and-update-rollup-bui...
To this end, you can use the same installation media that was used to install your Exchange server "Provided you are hosting your own", just install the management console instead of the whole thing,

Migration from Exchange 2007 SP3 to Exchange 2010

Hello,
We are planning a single server migration from Exchange 2007 SP3 to Exchange 2010. I'll be building the 2010 server on a 2008 R2 box. My question is, can I make the jump directly to Exchange 2010 SP3, or do I need to install exchange 2010 SP1 first
- migrate from 2007 SP3, and then install SP3 for exchange 2010 later?
Thanks,
Eric

@ Hasan
Dimdik - TAT,
That's not correct at all, you can migrate exchange server 2007 SP3 and RollUp Update 10 minimum to Exchange Server 2013 with minimum CU1.

Error during Exchange 2007 mailbox provisioning with IDM 8.1.1.1

Hi
We want to create Exchange 2007 mailboxes from IDM.
When we let Exchange set the SMTP address (EmailAddressPolicyEnabled=true), it works fine
But when we set the SMTP address in IDM with the attribute PrimarySmtpAddress (and EmailAddressPolicyEnabled=false) there are an error and an information in the provisioning task
Error : PowerShell:6c13f14c-3825-4064-a585-48b4756de3a3 is not a mailbox user
Information : Added exchange mailbox to the user based on the RecipientType change from: 'User' to: 'UserMailbox'
We see that the mailbox has the SMTP address set by Exchange.
After 5mn, the task ends successfully and we see that the SMTP address is the one set by the IDM attribute PrimarySmtpAddress.
We guess that this error is caused by the active directory replication delay between controllers.
Does anybody know how to solve this problem ?
Thank you

Hi Patrick
Thank you for your answer.
The cmdlet enable-mailbox can be used with the PrimarySmtpAddress option and, in this case, the EmailAddressPolicyEnabled option is automatically set to false.
Cf. the MS technet help : "The PrimarySmtpAddress parameter specifies the primary SMTP address for the mailbox. By default, the primary SMTP address is generated based on the default e-mail address policy. If you specify a primary SMTP address by using this parameter, the command sets the EmailAddressPolicyEnabled attribute of the mailbox to $false, and the e-mail addresses of this mailbox aren't automatically updated based on e-mail address policies."
I have tested this option on our Exchange 2007 environment and it works fine.
In IDM if PrimarySmtpAddress is used but not EmailAddressPolicyEnabled, there is an error : "PowerShell:The e-mail addresses for this recipient are automatically generated based on e-mail address policies. To modify the primary SMTP address for this recipient, you must disable automatic updating of e-mail addresses based on e-mail address policy”
If PrimarySmtpAddress is used and EmailAddressPolicyEnabled is set to false, then the log shows that 2 powershell commands are run by the gateway, the second immediately after the first.
Enable-Mailbox with the parameters -Identity and -Database, run with no error
Set-Mailbox with the parameters -Identity, -EmailAddressPolicyEnabled (set to FALSE) and -PrimarySmtpAddress, run with the error “…is not a mailbox user.”
After 5 mn (the retry delay) another powershell command is run :
Set-Mailbox with the parameters -Identity, -EmailAddressPolicyEnabled (set to FALSE) and -PrimarySmtpAddress, run with no error.
The solution would be that IDM, when PrimarySmtpAddress is set, runs only the command Enable-Mailbox with the parameters PrimarySmtpAddress, which set automatically EmailAddressPolicyEnabled to FALSE

I update my exchange server 2013 cu6 with exchange 2007 and my exchange 2013 db shutdown every 25 minute and recover. You have any hotfix I can use for this solution.

Hi,
From your description, you have deployed Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 and Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 in a co-existence environment. After you upgrade to CU6, databases unexpectedly shut down. In your case, here is a kb for your reference.

How to connect Exchange 2007 mailboxes to existing users

Hi all
We use IDM/Waveset 8.1.1 and the Active Directory adapter for Exchange 2007 mailbox provisioning. We use a role for the AD account and a role for the Exchange mailbox.
When we add the Exchange role for a user, the mailbox is created (the IDM gateway sends the powershell command enable-mailbox) => it is fine.
When we remove the Exchange role for the same user (after some mails have been sent with this mailbox), the mailbox is disconnected (the IDM gateway sends the powershell command disable-mailbox) => It is also fine.
But when we add a second time the Exchange role for the same user, a new mailbox is created, while we want that the disconnected mailbox would be re-connect to the AD account (with the powershell command connect-mailbox).
Does anybody know if it is possible to do so ?
Thank you
Gilles

As long as your I.T. folks have the same DNS name pointed to the server from the inside as they do from the outside, it should work fine. To be clear, if your server is mail.company.com that name should oint to the server from inside and outside the company. Then it will work fine without any changes on your iPhone.

Failing Exchange 2007 upgrade to Exchange 20113

I have a failing Exchange 2007 SP 2 that I need to upgrade to Exchange 2013. Yes, I do have consistent mail box backups to disk (Backup Exec 2014).
I have several failed attempts on creating a VMWare 5 machine out of this EX 7 server. We are out of hard drive space and unable to do the service pack 3. The new server (EX 13) will have a 300 gig root directory and data drive of over 1 terabyte.
I am looking for suggestions for the cleanest solutions to upgrading this server to 2013 since doing a migration with coexistence has been ruled out . I work for a small company without funds to allow me to purchase some really good software to assist
with this problem. I cannot have the email server down for more than over night unless I do it over the weekend.

Hi Praxis,
Thank you for your question.
If we could not recovery Exchange 2007 from Exec2014, we suggest you perform a disaster recovery for Exchange 2007 by the following link:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa998890(v=exchg.80).aspx
Then, we could follow ExchangeITPro’s advice to upgrade Exchange 2007 SP2 to Exchange 2007 SP3 CU10.
Then we could start migration by the following link:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/meamcs/archive/2013/07/25/part-1-step-by-step-exchange-2007-to-2013-migration.aspx
If there are any questions regarding this issue, please be free to let me know.

Exchange 2007 mailbox migration question

Hi, I'm using Exchange 2007 and had most of my mailboxes are currently on a single mail server. I recently built two new mail servers and used CCR. I have 7800+ mailboxes and was told that when I move the mailboxes from the old mail server to the new
mail server that this will create a huge amount of additional transaction logs that wouldn't be cleared out until the next backup. We do nightly backup and have 1 TB of free space on our log drive. I can't find anywhere that documents that moving mailboxes
from one mail server to another would create additional transaction logs. I could understand the existing transaction logs would follow the mailboxes to the new mail server, but I don't see where it would create new transaction logs? I'm planning on moving
only 200-300 mailboxes a night, so this wouldn't happen all at once.
Any clarification would be helpful.
         Thanks,
          Andrew

Agree with Cara on this and the transaction logs can be fairly hefty in size when migrating a bunch of data. One other option would be to;
1. do a backup of the associated stores/database right before migration.
2. then run on circular logging for those all databases within a storage group which will keep the logs in check
3. upon completion turn circular logging OFF, do a full backup and proceed along your way.
There is however some risk with using circular logging and you should read the articles below
http://exchangeserverpro.com/ems-enabledisable-exchange-server-2007-circular-logging/
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb331968%28v=exchg.80%29.aspx

http://blogs.technet.com/b/scottschnoll/archive/2011/06/27/circular-logging-and-mailbox-database-copies.aspx
Of course you could also keep things as they are and then monitor disk space and log volume during migration and as things rise Execute a Full backup to clear/truncate the logs. Technically its safer to do this then turn on circular logging but its
allot more resource intensive all the way around.   Another option would be to schedule several full backups during the migration process, i.e. every NN hours etc and then the backups will happen automatically and all should be well as long as the
backups complete before the disk runs out of space from log file generation

Exchange 2007 edb to Exchange 2013 - mailbox extraction and mounting

Hello everyone, here is my question:
I have a client who has Exchange 2007 running on a Domain Controller which is a Server 2008 and that is the only domain controller in his environment. That said, his domain controller crashed and all the AD data is now lost along with Exchange except the
EDB files. He wants to create a new domain controller with Server 2012 and wants to deploy Exchange Server 2013. Since the Domain Name will be the same, is it even possible to extract the mailbox information from Exchange 2007 EDB and attach it with new Exchange
Server 2013 and point them to newly created users on Exchange? If yes, how exactly will this work? Thanks in advance.

Excellent and factual responses from the others and the instructions/guidance should serve you well. If however you want to avoid building a new server etc you could use Lucid8's DigiScope
http://www.lucid8.com/product/digiscope.asp to open the 2007 EDB on a 64 bit machine and then you could take 1 of 2 actions to resolve your issue.
1. You could then export all mailboxes to PST and then Import them into the 2013 environment
2. OR you could have DigiScope migrate/recover the data directly from the offline 2007 EDB into the Production 2013 server on the fly, i.e. no end user downtime is required.

Powershell command to migrate Exchange 2007 mailbox databases with a legacy name, & import them into a new 2007 instance, with a new name.

Hi All. I am currently at the later stage of provisioning a new CCR Exchange 2007 migration (to
virtualise old Exchange 2007 hardware) for 5,000 users & have a quick question.
I have created around 15 newly named storage groups, & have named 1 new DB per group, with the same name (let's say New-DB-1), residing within them. The problem I have, is the old legacy DB's have different names (let's say Old-DB-1) & I need
to import them into the new storage groups, to match the new names. So far I can import/export between old & new OK if both old & new DB names\folders etc. names marry up perfectly, but are unable to if there not the same. Does anyone have any thoughts
on how best to tackle this, as this is one of the final hurdles stopping the migration? Many Thanks, John

Hi All
Many Thanks for the feedback.
The terminology 'migrate' was used based around the fact I will be decommissioning the old 2007 physical environment. This is after moving all DB's over to the new newly created Virtual environment that will host all roles.
The solution I ended up using yesterday, was the following:
1) Dismounted the relevant named DB (NEWDB) in the new environment.
2) I then ticked the 'This database can be overwritten by a restore option' box.
3) Copied over the old named DB (OLDDB) to the same location, & overwrote using the new name (NEWDB).
4) Re-mounted the (NEWDB).
5) Ran the following 2 PowerShell commands:
Get-mailbox –database OLDDB | move-mailbox –targetdatabase NEWDB -configurationonly:$true
Get-MailboxDatabase NEWDB | ResetSearchIndex.ps1 -force
6) Checked to make sure the clients were working ok, in the now the new (NEWDB) environment.
Rich: Many thanks for your PS script, which I will test with future DB moves & provide feedback

Migrating Exchange 2007 SP1 to Exchange 2013

Follow the Exchange Deployment Assistant to the letter and you will not have issues.http://technet.microsoft.com/en-ca/exdeploy2013/Checklist.aspxAnd my guide:You need to make sure your OutlookAnywhere and AutoDiscover settings are setup properly along with Split-DNS. OutlookAnywhere and Split-DNS are vital for future-proofing your Exchange configuration and making it work properly now, regardless if you use Exchange 2007, 2010, or 2013. For Exchange 2013, OutlookAnywhere is a requirement and Split-DNS is Best Practice. If you are on Exchange 2007 or 2010, and you do not have OutlookAnywhere enabled, enable OutlookAnywhere and follow this guide.You should always use NTLM over Basic authentication, as Basic sends the username and password in the clear, and NTLM is Windows Authentication. On Exchange 2013, you also have a new option...

This is a slightly daunting task I must admit. I am migrating an old exchange 2007 SP1 installation over to 2013 SP1 and looking for good advice and/or tips. I am finding the whole thing slightly unnerving as there seems to be about a million caveats give or take a few thousand. There seems to be about the same amount of tips, tricks and guides as well, but sadly they are not quite consistent and some are down right contradicting each other.I'm reading similar questions here on spiceworks, and it seems like I'm reading about one horrible episode after another. By now, I assume most have migrated already, so I though I might pick some brains and figure out the best way to do this ;)Might software like CodeTwo Exchange Migration or Dell Migration Manager be a good idea? Are there maybe similar tools available as well?Any feedback is very...

Hi! I realize this is an Exchange 2013 forum, however as I do not see any forums for older flavors of Exchange I'm going to post this here. If a better forum exists please let me know and I'll happily move to that forum for my answers.
I am just finishing a migration from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013. In the Exchange 2007 environment I have 2 CCR Mailbox Clusters. While working to decommission the first of the two clusters I successfully evicted the passive node, however
I mistakenly evicted the active node rather than removing it by running the Exchange Setup Wizard as outlined in the TechNet article "How to Remove the Active Mailbox Role from a CCR Environment".
Now, when attempting to uninstall Exchange 2007 using the Setup Wizard in Add/Remove Program I get the following error during the prerequisite check for the 'Mailbox Role':
Error:
Exchange server FQDN was not found. Please make sure you have typed it correctly."
Setup then completes.
Is there a way to cleanly uninstall Exchange 2007 and clean-up Active Directory?
Thanks!

Hi Jesse,
Thank you for your question.
We could run “ADsiedit.msc” in run, then navigate
Configuration [<domainController>.contoso.com]> CN=Configuration,DC=contoso,DC=com> CN=Services> CN=Microsoft Exchange> CN=<OrganizationName> CN=Administrative Group> CN=Exchange Administrative Group>CN=Server
We could check if mailbox server is existed in this container, we could remove it.
Notice: Before we remove it, we could make a backup for AD database. We suggest you call MS engineer for help.
If there are any questions regarding this issue, please be free to let me know.
Best Regard,
Jim

Quick question about exporting email address and their alias from Exchange 2007 mailbox

Hi Everyone,
We have Exchange 2007 and 2013 servers. All users are still 2007 servers. I have a list of users around 179 out of 3000 in a CSV file. I would like to export those 179 users primary smtp and their aliases. Is it possible to achieve through any script?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Siva

Hello Siva,
You don't need a script for this. Information can be obtained with simple command.
$AllUsers = Get-Mailbox -ResultSize Unlimited | Select DisplayName,Alias,PrimarySMTPAddress,SamACcountName,Database,LegacyExchangeDN
$AllUsers | Export-Csv Outputfile.csv -NoTypeInformation
Try this and let me know if it helps!
if you want PrimarySMTPAddress and alias of only those users whose information on the excel sheet, then what do you have as the column name in the excel sheet which you are using to query on the server.
Considering that you are using Alias to query the server to get the details you can try below:
$Global:Output = @()
$CsvData = Import-Csv Inputfile.csv
foreach($line in $CsvData)
{$CurrentObject = $Line.AliasWrite-Host “Processing Obect “$CurrentObject “From Csv File”
–ForeGroundColor YELLOW$EmailIDJoin = ""$EmailAddresses = @()$UserInfo = "" | Select DisplayName,PrimarySMTPAddress,Alias,SamAccountName,Database,LegacyExchangeDN,EmailAddresses
$UserInfo.DisplayName = (Get-Mailbox $CurrentObject).DisplayName
$UserInfo.PrimarySMTPAddress = (Get-Mailbox $CurrentObject).PrimarySMTPAddress
$UserInfo.Alias = (Get-Mailbox $CurrentObject).Alias
$UserInfo.SamAccountName = (Get-Mailbox $CurrentObject).SamAccountName
$UserInfo.Database = (Get-Mailbox $CurrentObject).Database
$UserInfo.LegacyExchangeDN = (Get-Mailbox $CurrentObject).LegacyExchangeDN
$EmailAddresses = (Get-Mailbox $CurrentObject)|%{$_.EmailAddresses}
for($i=0;$i -lt $EmailAddresses.Count;$i++)
$EmailIDJoin += $EmailAddresses[$i].ProxyAddressString
if($i -lt $EmailAddresses.Count - 1)
$EmailIDJoin += ','
$UserInfo.EmailAddresses = $EmailIdJoin
$Global:Output += $UserInfo
#Export output to CSV File
$Global:Output | Export-Csv GlobalOutput.csv -NoTypeInformation
