Migrating to Exchange 2013 from Exchange 2003, EV7, Office 2003 and XP

What is the best approach for migrating our 300 user Exchange 2003 organisation to Exchange 2013.? We use Enterprise vault v7.5 and the clients are Office 2003 on an XP desktop.
We are also planning to upgrade to Windows7 and Office 2013 this year so I am trying to understand the sequence. Should we just aim to upgrade to Exchange 2010 with Outlook 2010 instead?
Many thanks.

Hi,
You can't install Exchange 2013 until and unless you decommission your Exchange 2003. Coexistence of Exchange 2013 with Exchange 2003 is not supported. You first need to upgrade to Exchange 2010 SP3 and then move users to Exchange 2010 and decommission your
Exchange 2003 servers. Once you are done with the decommissioning of your Exchange 2003 server you will be able to install your first Exchange 2013 machine in your messaging infrastructure.
Kindly mark this as answer if it fulfill your requirements. Thanks.

Removing dead Exchange 2003 and Exchange 2000 Server from the domain

Hi Team,
I have come across a client who wants to migrate to O365 from existing Exchange 2003 environment through the Hybrid Model. I am trying to introduce 2010 Sp3 to the environment. While checking the environment using Exchange pre-deployment found 2 servers
in the environment which is not present on the network now. Client has no clue what they are.
One is Exchange 2003 and the other is Exchange 2000. The problem here is i cannot introduce Exchange 2010 Sp3 unless all the Exchange servers are running minimum Exchange 2003 Sp2.
At present i find only 2 exchange 2003 Sp2 server which are in production. Need kind assistance to move forward.

Hi,
I recommend you follow the steps below:
1. Please upgrade Exchange 2000 and Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2003 SP2 at first.
2. Deploy Exchange 2010 servers in this order: CAS, Hub, UM and Mailbox. For more information, here is an article for your reference:

I bought a new imac running Loin and Office 2011. The server we use to access emails runs exchange 2003 and my IT person says the imac is not compatible with the server. The server does not want to let me access using any email software.

I bought a new imac running Loin with Office 2011. I am the only mac in the office and the Server we use to access emails runs exchange 2003 and my IT person says the imac is not compatible with the server. The server does not want to let me access using any email software other than webmail access through our website. It looks as though 2011 is not compatible with 2003 per some searches online, but what are some options I have to gain full access again? I purchased parallels in hopes that this my help and I am able to use remote desktop connection to log on to server but can not drag and drop files I need. There is a shared drive on that Server we all use to exchange files.
The two main issues are gaining access to my email again and ability to drag and drop files from mac to pc. I hope this is enough info to get some solutions.
PS - IT person says my iMac's IP is what his server does not understand so that is why I can not login.

Office 2011 is not compatbile with Exchange 2003.
I suggest you post further Office related questions on Microsoft's own forums for their Mac software:

Running Unity with both Exchange 2003 and 2010?

My company is planning to upgrade from Exchange 2003 to 2010. We are
currently using Unity 7.0. We'd like to run the two in parrallel for a bit and take our time switching users over.
Now I've read that Unity can support Exchange 2010, but I haven't found anything about running Unity using both Exchange 2003 and 2010 in parrallel.
Is this something Unity can handle?

We're doing something similar, but we have an in-place Unity 7 and Exchange 2003 environment; we are putting some users from an org we support on an Exchange 2010 server, but do not want that to be the partner server (yet). The instructions seem to point you to making 2010 the partner; I'm wondering why Step 13 (of your link) we are uninstalling the Exchange Server 2003 System Management Tools, if it’s a mixed environment and 2003 will still be the partner server. I also saw somewhere that you don’t have to move the unitymsgstoresvc account to Exchange 2010 if you are in a mixed environment. Is that true? Thank you.

Exchange 2003 and Mac Mail (leopard) Mac Os 10.5.8

I am a new mac user....my school uses Microsoft Exchange 2003 and I can access my school account from the web using Outlook Web Access 2003. I am trying to consolidate and get my school account to my mail on my macbook....I know all of my server info as I get my email on my phone, but I am not getting anything to work on my macbook..... any ideas?

I have exchange 2003 at school(and outlook web access from internet) and I am trying to get it to show up directly into the mail part of my mac book.... I am not a techie, obviously, but when I try to add the account, I had been using Exchange instead of IMAP and POP.... The exchange process didn't work so then I actually did try IMAP and POP, but maybe the incoming outgoing server should be different than what I am putting in.... I can receive outlook (school email, contacts, etc) on my samsung blackjack so I thought there wouldn't be much to it, but obviously I am doing something wrong and I should just talk to my school

Finalising the migration of Exchange 2003 public folders over to an Exchange 2010 environment

After migrating all the user mailboxes, I set up replicas of the Public Folders which I have been running for several weeks.
Once everything had been replicated, using System Manager on the Exchange 2003 server, I removed the source replica server from the list (aka the Exchange 2003 server).
Is this step sufficient to move the replicas over?
Under the First Storage Group -->Public Folder Store do I need to run the
Move All Replicas command? Will this generate a lot of traffic given that I have ran replication for a number of weeks?
I saw somewhere some Exchange 2010 a similar Powershell command .\MoveAllReplicas.psl as well.
I have updated the offline address book, carried out the Address List Conversion and Recipient Polices.
If everything is in order, I am going to run the uninstall on the 2003 server.

After verifying that all the public folders are been replicated, I carried out the following:-
On the Exchange 2003 server under System Mangager > First Storage Group, I issued the command Move All Replicas over the weekend.
When I came back in today I could see the contents of the Public Folders
are now empty.
However, the Public Folder Instances still appears to have content. Is this normal?
On the Exchange 2010 server I have since issued the MoveAllReplicas.ps1 script to see if this will make any difference.
In addition when browsing the Default Public Folders via EMC, if I attempt to Update Content on any of the Public Folders I get the following error:
Cannot start replication against public folder....
MapiExceptionNoReplicaAvailable: StartContentReplication failed.

Data sync between exchange 2003 and exchange 2013

Need assistance on a general direction.
There is a 2003 domain with exchange 2003 currently in use. On this domain there is also a contact management application that is heavily integrated and cannot be update at this time. I would like to bring up a new 2013 exchange server.
Is there a method that I could have user data synchronized between the 2013 exchange data and the 2003 exchange? In this manner users could use the 2013 exchange as primary and the Contact manage application could use the sync copy of exchange 2003. For
now I am only concerned about he the calendar however I am sure the other information will need to be sync as well.
Please let me know. Thank you.

Hi There,
Once you install Exchange 2013 it will use the same data your Exchange 2003 is using \ seeing because both of them use Active directory for Directory information.
Exchange 2013 will see all the users that are 2003 without you needing to sync \ move data.
If you need to users to be on Exchange 2013 and keep Exchange 2003 all you need to do is move the mailboxes to Exchange 2013.

Exchange 2003 and Exchange 2010 Coexistence Activesync Issue

Hello,
I am currently on the progress of migrating mails from Exchange 2003 SP2 to Exchange 2010 SP3. Before I can do actual migration, I need to make sure that OWA and Activesync works when Exchange 2010 becomes Internet facing.
Right now Exchange 2003 is Internet facing while Exchange 2010 is internal LAN only. OWA login from Exchange 2010 to a mailbox in Exchange 2003 works fine. However, trying to open a mailbox in Exchange 2003 from Exchange 2010 Activesync fails.
Activesync login from Exchange 2010 to a mailbox in Exchange 2010 works fine, as well as logging in from Exchange 2003 to mailbox in Exchange 2003.
Tests using AccessMyLAN ActiveSync Tester using Exchange 2010 as entry point are inconclusive. The test shows the app successfully contacting ActiveSync version 6.5 which is Exchange 2003, but results in "Activesync detected, but not correctly configured."
Tests using Test-ActiveSyncConnectivity from Exchange 2010 reveals Error HTTP 400 when contacting Exchange 2003. The cmdlet also shows it successfully contacting Activesync version 6.5 (Exchange 2003).
I have searched around, installed hotfix KB937031, enabled Integrated Windows Authentication on Exchange 2003 Microsoft-Server-Activesync, disabled Require SSL for Microsoft-Server-Activesync and exchange-oma, yet I still can't connect to a mailbox inside
Exchange 2003 through ActiveSync 2010. Website Multiple Identities for port 80 has been set correctly. Exchange 2003 has Forms-Based Authentication Enabled and is the one thing we haven't tried disabling yet.
We want to make sure everything works first, then make Exchange 2010 Internet facing, and finally do the mail migration. We do not want to migrate everyone in a single sitting. Please if anyone have ideas any help is welcomed!

Exchange 2010 will proxy ActiveSync for Exchange 2003. For OWA, it will redirect, so you need a legacy redirect URL. You can test all of this internally without changing your Internet connection. For ActiveSync you can use a WiFi connection.

Public folders are not in sync after settting up Replicas between Exchange 2003 and 2010

I have setup Public Folder replicas between the 2 Exchange servers and I can see all the top and sub level folders.
For those mailboxes that were migrated over to Exchange 2010, I have noticied a lower number of item contents in these fodders when views from an Outlook client whose mailbox had been migrated over to Exchange 2010.
On Exchange 2003 System Manager, if I properties one of the Public Folders, under the Replicataion tab, I can see the old and new server there. On the Exchange server 2003 box, I can see the last update reviced was a few weeks ago.
I did see an option to synchronize content but I am not sure which server to run this one from. The Exchange 2003 or 2010 server.
There is also a Resend Changes... option. Should I use this instead?
Can anyone advise?

Hi,
The "Resend changes" and "Synchronize content" options in Exchange 2003 ESM are used to initiate hierarchy and content replication.
To update public folder hierarchy and content from Exchange 2010 side, you can use the following commands.
Update-PublicFolderHierarchy
Update-PublicFolder
Please run the Get-publicfolderstatistics cmdlet to get public folder details such as item count, this information will help you compare content replicated between the source and destination servers.
Besides, here is a blog about public folder replication troubleshooting for your reference.

Connector help ( Coexistence Exchange 2003 and Exchange 2010)

Dear all,
we are in a Coexistence state where all the mailboxes are not yet migrated to Exchange Sever 2010.
On Exchange server 2003 we have two connectors 1) Internal 3) External
1) Internal connector is used to have mail flow between postfix mail and Exchange server.
2) External Connector is used for sending/receiving emails from External domains (like gmail,yahoo etc...)
3) when we added first Exchange 2010 that time it created one RGC used for sending/receving emails between Legacy and new server.
What I want to achieve is created new two more connectors on Exchange server which will act as Internal & External connector.
if these works then delete connectors on legacy server and go ahead with for rest migration
is it possible if not then how do it ?
TheAtulA

Hi AtulA,
Thank you for your question.
Internal:
To support coexistence between these two routing topologies, all Exchange 2010 servers are automatically added to a single routing group when Exchange 2010 is installed. The Exchange 2010 routing group is recognized in Exchange System Manager in Exchange
2003 as Exchange Routing Group within Exchange Administrative Group.
During the installation of the first Exchange 2010 Hub Transport server in an existing Exchange organization, we must specify an Exchange 2003 bridgehead server to which to establish the first routing group connector. We recommend that you select a bridgehead
server located in a hub routing group or in a routing group that has many mailboxes. The routing group connector links the routing group where the Exchange 2003 server resides and the Exchange 2010 routing group. The Exchange 2010 routing group includes all
Exchange 2010 servers, regardless of the Active Directory site in which they reside.
Notice: Don't move Exchange 2010 servers out of Exchange Routing Group (DWBGZMFD01QNBJR), and don't rename Exchange Routing Group (DWBGZMFD01QNBJR) by using a low-level directory editor. Neither action is supported. Exchange 2010 must use
this routing group for communication with Exchange 2003.
External:
We could create send connector and receive connector to send/receive email from Internet, we should modify the firewall setting to point to Exchange 2010.
If there are any questions regarding this issue, please be free to let me know.
Best Regard,
Jim

Legacy integration between Exchange 2003 and Exchange 2010

Dear Team,
we are using Microsoft Exchange 2003 & 2010 Server for Emails, now we have both servers are connected, we want to raise new Single incident request for doing this activity, we want disconnect 2003 server from 2010 server so accordingly need support,
we are ready to pay for this incident,
pls do the needful,
Thanks & regards
Anteshwar Bhosale

Hi Anteshwar,
If you want to remove Exchange 2003 from your coexistence environment, please perform the following procedure:
1. Move all mailboxes to an Exchange 2010 server in the organization.
2. Move all content from the public folder database on the legacy Exchange 2003 server to a public folder database on an Exchange 2010 server in the organization.
3. On Exchange 2003 servers, for each offline address book (OAB), move the generation process to an Exchange 2010 server.
4. Verify that Internet mail flow is configured to route through your Exchange 2010 transport servers.
5. Verify that all inbound protocol services (Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync, Microsoft Office Outlook Web App, Outlook Anywhere, POP3, IMAP4, Autodiscover service, and any other Exchange Web service) are configured for Exchange 2010.
If all above steps have been prepared, we can remove the last Exchange 2003 server from the Exchange 2010 organization from ADSIEdit. For detailed steps about this, please refer to:

Require Passcode Immediately with Exchange 2003 and iPhone 3.0?

Before I upgraded to iPhone 3.0 I was syncing with Exchange 2003 SP2 and I had set my passcode to be required after 1 hour, which was changed from the default of 4 hours. On the Exchange server we have a policy in place to have a max of 12 hours before a passcode is required which works on my WM phones.
After upgrading to 3.0, the phone now immediately requires a passcode every time I turn it on. I went into the settings to change it to be a little longer, but the only option is to have it Immediately and I have lost all of the other options. Is there a way to get back at least 1 hour or something that reflects the 12 hour setting on my Exchange server?

I can confirm that you just need to turn OFF Mail, Contacts and Calendar sync within the Exchange account, set the timeout 4 hours (or whatever - it will automatically shrink down if your Exchaange administrator's policy is more restrictive), and then turn back ON Mail, Contacts and Calendar sync.
Note you'll get a scary warning that says all your Contacts and Calendar data will be deleted from the phone - Outlook users can ignore if you're syncing with Outlook, since it will re-sync when done.

MS Exchange 2003 and IIS Server

I recently purchased the 3gs with the understanding it would sync through MS Exchange at my work. Below is what my IT people say is the problem. does anyone understand this and how to solve it"
"The difficulty is actually the same problem we’ve had before with active sync and it’s not an iphone issue but an issue with the exchange configuration. We do not have a front end IIS server in our exchange 2003 environment but on the same box as exchange. That being said there is a known issue with setting up active sync to work properly with out either adding a front end IIS or hacking up the registry as a possible work around on the exchange box which could actually hose the system and bring email down in which we would have to start from scratch. Maybe I could look again after July 1st but right now researching another way could take a while".

There's nothing you can do to fix this specific issue since, as your own IT folks say, it's not a problem with the iPhone. If it's a problem with their Exchange server setup as they say, that's something only they can fix and you'll have to wait until they do.
If, however, they have the mail server set up to provide IMAP accounts, you could be able to set up your iPhone to connect to it following the instructions for connecting to a "normal" email account (the "other" option in the Mail setup).

Exchange 2003 and Mac Mail

I have set up a work email account in Mac Mail using IMAP (the mail is stored on an internal server - Exchange 2003).
An issue has come to light where when I send messages with large attachments they DON'T go into sent items in Mail or into the exchange server. I should say that occasionally they do go into sent but more often they do not.
If I send messages with no or a small attachments then it DOES go into the sent items on both the Mac and the exchange server.
Can someone please help with this one?
Many thanks

Migrate MOSS 2007 Server from Server 2003 (32-bit) to Server 2008

I have a client with MOSS 2007 installed on Windows Server 2003, and a database server (SQL 2005) also on Server 2003. they have two new Windows Server 2008 servers, and they wish to do a migration. They have custom Features, including Event Receivers
installed in their environment.
Do I need to install the 32-bit edition of MOSS 2007 on the new server in order to be able to use the pre-compiled custom Features used in the current server?
My plan is to do the following:
(a) Migrate databases from current database server (SQL 2005) to new database server (SQL 2008),
(b) Re-assign SQL redirection to new database server (the database was previously on the same box as the WFE, and this was separated out last year to another server, but redirecting the SQL Server,
(c) Install MOSS 2007 (32-bit) on the other new server
(d) Patch both instances of MOSS 2007 to the same point
(e) Create (dummy) site collection on new server, and install all custom Features on server
(f) Add new server to existing Farm
(g) Remove previous server from Farm
What must I do to install existing custom Features on new server?
Is there anything that I have left out of the process? Do I need to do anything about the SSP running on the current server?

Thanks Keith for your reply.
Even is USMT does not work, we are ok. SMIGdeploy will be helpful.
Basically, want MDT to run some scripts on the Windows 2003 server, post which install Windows 2012 and join it to the existing domain with the same computer name.
Then hydration kit to help with the installation of features etc. Also, we would like to take a complete backup to a WIM before migrating.
I am sure this is workable.
