Problem e-mailing reports after migrating to new Microsoft Exchange server

Hi,
I am now unable to e-mail (SMTP) reports to anyone in my company because we just migrated to a new Microsoft Exchange server. Anyone know how to get rid of this message?

Hi,
You need to start with your exchange logs and possibly enable tracing on your BO webi/crystal/destination job servers (depending on the type of report and whether or not it is scheduled) to get an idea of how far down the line the SMTP connection is getting.
You could also confirm a few key things:
Have the SMTP destinations on your BO servers been updated with the new SMTP server info
Can you telnet to the mail server on port 25 from the BO server - if not, then check the firewall between the two servers and change the existing ruleset to allow connectivity to the new server
Possibly the old mail server didn't require authentication and the new server does, you could test this through telnet?

Migrating Public Folders on Exchange Server 2007 SP1 to Exchange Online\Office 365

Hello,
Our company is looking to migrate from Exchange 2007 on premises to Exchange Online/Office 365. We have a number of public folders on our exchange server that function similarly to how the new shared mailboxes work in Exchange Online. That is to say that
we have many outside users (customers and wholesale dealers) emailing this public folder ([email protected]) and our end users are given permission to view and respond as themselves ([email protected]). I've been looking all over but haven't found a clean
way to migrate the current public folders directly into shared mailboxes. I'd just start from scratch, but we want to keep the records of the emails we've received at these public folders for customer support reasons. Can anyone help?

Hi psh8989,
According to your description, I know that you want to migrate public folder from Exchange 2007 to Office 365.
Since Office 365 is different from Exchange On-Premises, I suggest ask Office 365 Forum for help so that you can get more professional suggestions. For your convenience:
http://community.office365.com/en-us/default.aspx
However, I can also share some information for your reference : )
Based on my knowledge, Exchange supports moving your public folders to Office 365 and Exchange Online from Exchange 2007 SP3 RU10 or later. I notice that your Exchange server version is SP1, please upgrade to SP3 RU10 first and perform migration.
More detailed information to see:

Hi everybody !
My company bought a new server and I have schedule to migrate current domain controller ( 2008 R2 ) to new server ( 2012 R2 )
My system has 1 Exchange server which I'm not familiar with. I have experience with migrating DC ( transfer roles / DNS ) but I'm worry about Exchange server. What should I prepare for this case ?

Migrate Calendar/Contacts from one Exchange server to a new server?

I have an iPhone synced to my calendar and contacts on one Exchange server (old.edu). I am in the process of migrating to a different Exchange server (new.edu). Does anyone know if I can use the iPhone to be the conduit from server old.edu to server new.edu? e.g., can I sync iPhone with old.edu data on it to a computer that has a new Exchange server configured on its Outlook program and have the old.edu data copied onto the new.edu server?

No, you cannot. Exchange contacts data is synced 'over the air' only, and thus managed separately from iTunes (USB cable) syncing.
If you have Outlook connected to the old exchange server, you can export your contacts then import them after you link to the new server. But the iPhone is not going to help you in this situation.

Novell Groupwise to Hosted Exchange Migration

We are looking to migrate a client from Novell Groupwise Email to Hosted Exchange. It seems the only toll available to assist with this type of migration is the following:
http://www.quest.com/groupwise-migrator-for-exchange/
Does anyone know of any tools that Microsoft provides that are similar to this? I cannot really find any information via searching google, the microsoft partner portal...etc...
Thanks,
Ian

Most cusotmers moving from Groupwise utilize Quest Tools.
A couple other options, depending on the size of your user base:

If it wasn't difficult, it wouldn't be fun, but why's it got to be this much fun.

Generic Groupwise to Exchange Migration Advice

Good afternoon folks, I am after some general advice/guideance on a migration project that I am about to start working on.
We're taking a Novell eDirector/Groupwise environment to Microsoft AD/Exchange...I know there's tools/utils that will do the migration but I am just after some general real world experiences/gotcha's etc.
The AD will be a nice new Win2008 R2 AD so first question is, what order should I approach this in..
Build new AD
Install Exchange
Migrate User Accounts/Data
Migrate Groupwise to Exchange
or
Build new AD
Install Exchange
Migrate Groupwise to Exchange
Migrate User Accouts/Data
To me the first looks more logical but I'm looking for advice from the trenches so to speak....
Also, what utils/tools would you recommend for the migration and co-existence?

Hello,
I think you can do migrate Groupwise to Exchange at last.
Here is one related document for you, hope can give you some help:

Novell actually designed the GW migration util because of several large Exch
to GW migrations. The very latest version is looking sweet and does a great
job.
Far better than any util out there taking GW to Exch.
Good Luck!!
Take Care.

Exchange active sync cannot connect to server after migration mailbox user from exchange 2007 to exchange 2013 coexistence

Hello, everyone, my name is rafl
I have a problem with exchange 2013 active sync.
I have installed exchange 2013 coexistence with legacy exchange 2007, I have to migrate user mailboxes: [email protected] from exchange 2007 to exchange 2013.
but any problem with active sync connection on the mobile device after moving mailbox user. I reconfigure the exchange ActiveSync external connection domain (latest.domain.com) on mobile device replacing legacy exchange ActiveSync external connection domain
(legacy.domain.com)
the process of moving mailboxes successfully without error.
Access OWA for exchange 2007 and exchange 2013 is running normally
access mail from Outlook running normally
Certificate request has been installed and has no problem with it
The OWA virtual directory is configured for internal and external connections and different from the legacy exchange
The autodiscover virtual directory is configured for internal and external connections and different from the legacy exchange
ActiveSync virtual directory is configured for internal and external connections and different from the legacy exchange
user mailboxes are still on exchange 2007 is not problematic.
only problem with Exchange Active Sync on mobile devices, where I set up an email with android, iphone, windows phone. the error message: cannot connect to the server.
but, if I create a new user and create user mailboxes directly in exchange server 2013, ActiveSync can run without error on mobile device, access through OWA, MsOutlook, Outlook Anywhere also run normally.
only the results of user migration from exchange 2007 to exchange 2013 which is troubled with exchange ActiveSync connection.
any ideas for this problem, and what should I check on the exchange server ..?

i have run the activesync test connectivity and get some error :
Testing TCP port 443 on host domain.co.id to ensure it's listening and open.
The specified port is either blocked, not listening, or not producing the expected response.
A network error occurred while communicating with the remote host.
Elapsed Time: 3091 ms.
Testing TCP port 443 on host autodiscover.domain.co.id to ensure it's listening and open.
The specified port is either blocked, not listening, or not producing the expected response.

The specified port is either blocked, not listening, or not producing the expected response.
A network error occurred while communicating with the remote host.
Elapsed Time: 21049 ms.
I have allowed access to port 443 (https) and 80 (http) on the firewall and re-run testconnectivity, but still with the same results. if I enable active sync for users who created directly in Exch 2013 there is no problem with the ActiveSync, just a problem
for users who moved from Exch 2007 to Exch 2013. @Android, iPhone, and Blackberry the error message "cannot connect to the server"

Exchange server using interface IP after migrating from 8.2 to 9.1

hi,
i recently upgraded an ASA pair from 5510 (ASA OS 8.2) to 5512 (ASA OS 9.1). Many of the services are working fine including VPN after some tweaking and modifications in the new configuration, however the exchange server is not sending the traffic from its designated public IP which is mentioned in NAT statements. Exchange is using the public interface IP of the firewall for outbound communication. If i try to telnet from outside to the public IP addresses of the exchange server its giving proper response. kindly help me with this issue. i believe this is some NAT related issue.

Hi Najeeb,
If you are able to reach out to your SMTP via Public IP address , 172.16.2.11 will be using public IP address 213.42.201.35 for mail delivery (SMTP service alone) . Server 172.16.2.21 will be using Public IP address 213.42.201.34 for any traffic including SMTP , to double check this open your IE on your 172.16.2.21 google it for what is my IP address , you will see your public ip address 213.42.201.34 on your google results .
At any point time your both server will never use your outside interface for any external communication
The issue is exchange is sending the outgoing traffic via the outside interface of my firewall (213.42.201.46).

I should add that the source server's AD configuration might not be perfect due to this being the second attempt at a SBS 2011 migration install.
I'd be grateful for any help I can get on this as SBS migration has been plauged with multiple setbacks already. I really need to get this done! ;)
Thanks,
Voon

Thank you Larry and Al for your replies.
I used the 'official' migration
guide plus this page (http://www.techieshelp.com/step-by-step-guide-to-migrating-to-sbs-2011/)
as my migration references. The SBS migration prep tool gave no errors on the source server when I ran it.
I have a full system drive image plus a a system state backup from before migration. Though I am very loathed to rollback the migration and attempt a new one - again. I will do some searching to see if I can resolve the Exchange server problem and continue
the migration/installation. If not, then its a system state restore for me. One of Al's links had a resource for doing a thorough check of AD - which something I'd run if I have to another migration attempt.
I am also really tempted to open up a paid MS support ticket for them to help me fix this problem. :)

Exchange server name not changing in mail profile after migration from 2010 to 2013

Following a migration from 2010 to 2013 we are finding that for a number of users the old exchange server address stays in the mail profile (control panel -> mail -> e-mail accounts) which causes Outlook not to load.
We are able to go into control panel -> mail -> e-mail accounts and change this manually to the new exchange 2013 server address but we have quite a number of users and don't really want to do it manually.
Shouldn't it be updating automatically and if so why is it?

Hi,
Yes, it should be changed by autodiscover. Does this issue occur to all the migrated users?
I have seen this kind of issues before when migrating from Exchange 2003/2007 to Exchange 2010. The most efficient way is to rebuild the Outlook profile.
Thanks,

Migrate from Exchange Server 2010 sp3 to 2013 sp1

I have one Exchange Server 2010 SP3 server (300 mailboxes) installed on Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 with three major roles on it (CAS, MB and HT) - typical installation. Edge Transport server is not installed thus for controlling of mail flow
Symantec Messaging Gateway Virtual Appliance is used as Smart Host. UM server is not installed either. I set up test domain environment where I installed one domain controller (Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1) and one Exchange Server 2010 SP3 (Windows
Server 2008 R2 SP1) at first place and yesterday I did everything necessary to install Exchange Server 2013 SP1 on new test virtual server running Windows Server 2012 R2 which I successfully did.
Now in test domain I have two Exchange Servers (2010 SP3 and 2013 SP1). Is there any 100% reliable documentation with all actions that had to be taken in order to successfully migrate Exchange Server 2010 SP3 to 2013 SP1? I would want to know what
needs to be done not only for my scenario but also for other scenarios (DAG, CAS array, Edge, UM, multiple HT servers . . .) since I am interested in digging deep into Exchange Server 2013.

Hi BoxiKG,
In addition to the above mentioned, and this for your reference:

Exchange Server 2013 migration and high avalability

Hello,
We are using Office 365 online and will be migrating onto an in-house Exchange Server 2013 on a new Windows Server box.
I have two questions:
1. What is the best way to migrate everything from the Office 365 to the in house server? Do I setup a hybrid environment and then move the mailboxes and then remove the hybrid environment?
2. What is the best way to setup high availability for the in-house Exchange server? I found out that in order to setup Exchange 2013 as high availability it needs to run on Windows server 2012 STD or Windows server 2008 Enterprise.
Please let me know and provide links to step by step instructions if possible.
Thank you, Karel
Thank you. Karel Grulich, MCSE, SBS

Hi Karel,
Thank you for your question.
In addition Ed’s suggestion, moving mailbox form Exchange online to Exchange on premise could be refer to the following link:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj906432(v=exchg.150).aspx
Exchange 2013 high availability could be referred by the following link:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd638137(v=exchg.150).aspx
If there are any questions regarding this issue, please be free to let me know.
Best Regard,
