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...

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.

Exchange 2003 sp2 to exchange 2007 sp1 upgrade error

Hi,
We had Windows 2003 DCs and Exchange 2003 servers. We migrated AD DCs to windows 2008 R2 at parent domain.
We have one parent domain and 10 child domains in remote sites .3 remote sites have been migrated to windows 2008 R2.
Now at parent domain I am trying to install exchange 2007 SP1 on a server with windows 2008 R2 SP1. I am facing certain issues:
1. When I run setup /PrepareSchema on this new exchange server , the organization check fails with error stating that : cannot find at least one DC running windows 2003 SP1 or later in DC=xyx,DC=com. This could be the result of moving DC objects in AD. Check
that at least one DC running windows server 2003 SP1 or later is located in the "Domian Controllers" OU and rerun setup".
2. When I try to install exchange server 2007 , I get the following error
Object cannot be saved because its ExchangeVersion property is 0.10 (14.0.100.0), which is not supported
by the current version 0.1 (8.0.535.0). You will need a later version of Exchange.".
Can any one shed light on this issue.
Regards
Syed

You cannot install Exchange 2007 SP1 on Windows 2008 R2 SP1 as it is unsupported.
Only version of Exchange 2007 supported when OS is Windows 2008 R2 or R2 SP1 is Exchange 2007 SP3.
Where are you installing Exchange ? child or parent domain ?
2. When I try to install exchange server 2007 , I get the following error "Object
cannot be saved because its ExchangeVersion property is 0.10 (14.0.100.0), which is not supported by the current version 0.1 (8.0.535.0). You will need a later version of Exchange.".
Above error indicates that Exchange setup is trying to modify
a version of an object which might have been created when organization is prepared for Exchange 2010. don't you have exchange 2010 Servers already in your environment ?
Please give more information about your current email infrastructure
and whether if you are installing exchange on parent or child domain?

BPA shows domain prepped for Exchange 2007 SP1 after SP3 install

Hello,
I have a Client with a domain that is at 2003 domain functional level and 2000 forest level.
The client had Exchange 2007 SP1 and I have just upgraded it to SP3. There is one CAS, one Hub Transport, and one Mailbox Server (All three had Exchange 2007 SP1).
The domain and forest were prepped earlier by someone else and when I ran the installation program, it didn't pop up any errors on any of the servers.
The upgrade to SP3 is in preperation to Exchange 2010. Everything is working ok. I have checked:
1) In ADSIEdit, Exchange System Objects properties: Object Version =11221.
2) In ADSIEdit, Services>Microsoft Exchange>Organization: Object Version =11222
3) In ADSIEdit, RangeUpper value of ms-Exch-Schema-Version-Pt object = 14625
However, When I run the Exchange BPA, it reports that the domain is prepped for Exchange Server 2007 Service Pack 1 (In informational items). This is an informational item and not a warning or alert. However, I am concerned. Is this normal, and will it affect
the migration to Exchange 2010?
Thanks,
HA

Hello Ha20,
Based on my experience, it will not affect the migration. However, it’s recommended to prepare the schema again to avoid any potential issues.

Prepare the domains as required. You have to prep the forest first for SP3 before upgrading Exchange itself

Improper decoding of base64 encoded attachment on Exchange 2007 SP1

I'm using Exchange 2007 SP1. My java application sends email to users of exchange 2007 SP1. The email contains an email as an attachment which is base64 encoded . This email when sent to users on exchange 2007 SP1 shows blank attachment. The same email when sent to users on different exchange (e.g. Exchange 2003) shows the correct attachment i.e. the attachments are not blank. While sending the mail i'm setting name of the attachment in Content-Type header but it is not there when we look at the rfc contents of the mail received on ex 2007 SP1. It seems exchange 2007 is not able to decode the base 64 contents properly. Below are the rfc contents of the mail which show few headers in the attachment part instead of the base64 content. Please suggest some solution to it. It's urgent.

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.

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

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.
Best Regard,
Jim

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:

Migrate exchange 2007 mailboxes to exchange 2013

Hi Guys,
im trying to move exchange 2007 mailboxes to 2013. to cut to the chase, is this possible because im getting different kinds of errors?
Please advise if this is possible and how to do it.
Thanks!

Hi,
Below link also will help you
Microsoft Exchange Server Deployment Assistant
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/office/dn756393.aspx
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.

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.
Search, Recover, & Extract Mailboxes, Folders, & Email Items from Offline Exchange Mailbox and Public Folder EDB's and Live Exchange Servers or Import/Migrate direct from Offline EDB to Any Production Exchange Server, even cross version i.e. 2003 -->
2007 --> 2010 --> 2013 with Lucid8's

Remove Exchange 2007 from an Exchange 2013 coexistence.

Hey everyone,
I've just installed Exchange 2013 on a new server and all is working great. It is currently in coexistence with our old Exchange 2007 server. I've since shut the server down and Exchange 2013 has been working without issue. However, I haven't
been able to find any articles on this matter so I figured I would ask the question here.
How do you remove Exchange 2007 from the coexistence. Do I just uninstall Exchange 2007 from the old server and it will remove itself from the server and the domain? Any help/link on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Chris

Hi Simon,
I am about to do the same exercise as Chris, I just would like some clarity.
1) When you say mailbox Database, do you mean make sure there are no more mailboxes that you want to move over, or are you actually meaning delete the physical DB on the exchange 2007 server.
2) If there is no use of public folders does anything need to happen?
Thanks,
Terry

Address list service failed to respond error on Exchange 2007 (after adding first 2013 server)

Hi,
We just installed an Exchange 2013 server within an Exchange 2007 environment.
The Exchange 2013 (CU6) server will be used to setup a hybrid connection with O365, and move mailboxes to O365.
After installing the Exchange 2013 server it isn't possible anymore to create/enable mailboxes on the Exchange 2007 server.
We end up with an error :
Mig1 TestAccount
Failed
Error:
The Exchange server address list service failed to respond. This could be because of an address list or email address policy configuration error.
Exchange Management Shell command attempted:
Enable-Mailbox -Identity 'domain.be/customer/TEMP/Mig1 TestAccount' -Alias 'mig1' -Database 'Exchange2007\SG01\DB02'
When executed via EMS we receive this error :
The Exchange server address list service failed to respond. This could be because of an address list or email address policy configuration error

Hi Lyncer
This error can be caused if the default Public Folder Database not being pointed to the exchange 2007 database which you are trying to create a new mailbox.
Also it can happen if System Attendant service is not running.
Troubleshooting steps:
1) Restart the System Attendant Service
2) Point the affected database to the default public folder
Follow the below steps to do that
Open EMC
Go to Organization Configuration > Mailbox.
Select the mailbox database that you want to change the default public folder database.
Right click the database and select properties
In <Mailbox Database Name> Properties, click the Client Settings tab.
Next to the Default public folder database box, click Browse.
In Select Public Folder Database, select the public folder database from the list of public folder databases, and then click OK.

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,
