Migration of 2010 workflow to 2013

if we use leading 3rd party tool Quest for migration then how to migrate sequential workflows from 2010 to 2013? will all sequential workflows automatically migrate to 2013 with quest tool or we need to do any further steps? It will be helpful if you say
about steps here.
Do quest tools supports automatic migration of sequntial workflows to 2013 . I think it will run as 2010 workflow only. 2013 introduced stages, do we have to crate those stages?

2010 workflows will still run the same way they did in 2013. The 2010 workflow mode is backwards compatible. If you want the workflows to run in the newer 2013 engine then you'll need to re-write the workflows. There are actions that are
available in 2010 that aren't available in the 2013 mode and vice versa so there is no automated conversion available.
But the Quest migration tool should migrate the workflows with the rest of the site when you migrate it. In general they continue to work, but I do recommend testing since I've seen a few workflows that had problems after upgrade. But the migrated
workflows will run as 2010 workflows in 2013.

Issue with Excel Access Web Part, with sites that were migrated from 2010 SP to 2013 SP

Hello,
If I try to add an Excel Access Web Part to a page I get the following:
**Note: This only happens with sites that were migrated from 2010 SharePoint to SharePoint 2013. If I create a new site the feature works like it should and loads the workbook. I've tested this on several sites, our environment is enterprise as well. Being
that the majority of our sites were migrated from 2010, I need this to work!

Can you try below fix and let me know

Migrating from 2010 (single) to 2013 HA

Hello All;
I'm doing my long research into my new project and found a lot of helpful links but thought i'd reach out to the forum and see if anyone has any inside links, steps, details I can review.
We currently are running
Exchange 2010 SP3 (All roles on single server)
Windows Server 2008R2 Enterprise
Virtual Machine (VMware 5.5 ESXi)
I'm planning on migrating to
Exchange 2013 (two instances)
High Availability
Windows Server 2012 R2 Enterprise
So migrating from 1 single exchange 2010 server to multiple Exchange 2013 mailbox servers. The goal is if 1 physical goes down for maintenance of anything else that can happen in this crazy world, the other separate server would still pass mail through
the environment which I believe is separating the DAGs.
I'm sure I've missed a lot here. Please Help because afterwards I have to upgrade from Lync 2010 to Lync 2013.

thank you all for the helpful info & awesome links for reading.
but i'm still a little lost in the HA capability of exchange 2013. We have two physical servers (built Raid 5 in the array for each - both having 2 arrays.) How do we implement HA in this configuration if 1 server goes down ? Would that be separate
DAGs with a 3rd front end ?
example:
Current
Server 1
Exchange 2010
4 Databases
--- Migrate/Upgrade to
Future
Server 2 Server3
Exchange 2013 Exchange 2013
4 Databases <------------> 4 Databases
so if Server 2 disappeared, Server 3 could keep running transporting all mail. I'm assuming i'm missing the front end part of exchange 2013 that would pass the mail along to server 2 and server 3.
I apoligize if this is noobish question; I've never implemented anything HA for exchange. We've always run all roles on a single instance.

Migration Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013 in a different site

Hi all, I have
an Exchange 2010 with these characteristics
Site A
- 2 Servers DAG for mailboxes
- 2 Servers Client Access and
Hub Transport in Microsoft
NLB
- 2 Domain Controllers Windows
Server 2008 R2
I want to upgrade to Exchange 2013 but in another
Site, Site B. When the migration is complete,
the mail system will only be in Site
B.
The connection between Site A and Site
B is a reliable connection.
Is there any problem to upgrade Exchange 2013
to another Site, other than Site
A?

It is like any other Migration (Same Forest) You just need to make sure that AD is been replicated from Site A (Exchange 2010) to Site B (Exchange 2013).
No Network or replication issue between the sites. Having more than 1 DC on Site B would be good idea.
Once you have all these set, rest of the things are same.
Extend the AD Schema.
Deploy the Exchange Server 2013 CU6
Create the Cert request for 2013.
Install Cert on Exchange 2013.
Configure the Virtual Directories for Exchange 2013.
Test the Coexistence between 2010 and 2013.
Perform the Cutover from 2010 to 2013.
Test the Cutover and start the Test migration phase.
Once the test phase is fine, start the full fledge migration.
Move Mailbox and Public Folder Database.

Migrate Exch 2010 databases to 2013

I have a customer migrating from Exch 2010 to 2013. One of the last steps we have is to move 3 "Archive" databases from 2010 to 2013. For this discussion, an archive is as follows:
When a user leaves the company, their mailbox is moved from a regular database to an archive database. Then the user is disabled and disconnected from the mailbox. So all these databases are disconnected user mailboxes...several hundred gigs.
I have been looking at the database portability feature, but it seems that won't cross version boundaries. Anyone have any ideas, even a third party tool that may do this? The idea of creating dummy users and reconnecting the mailboxes to perform
this move is not appealing.
RJ

Agreed and one thing you can to to verify whats actually in the DB would be to make an offline COPY of the archive DB and then open it with a DigiScope DEMO license. This will let you see exactly whats within that DB since we look at the raw data and
do not rely on Exchange or AD. I suspect its not there and if so then you would need to obtain a backup copy of the archive DB (if you have them) prior to your deleted mailbox retention date and then use DigiScope to either export to PST
OR push them back into an archive MB for preservation.
Let me know if I can be of further assistance and feel free to contact me offline via email Troyw at Lucid8 dot com

Migration Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013 with CAS Array and DAG

Dear All,
I am starting the migration of Exchange 2010 2 servers (CAS/Mailbox) with DAG no CAS Array to Exchange 2013 with 2 servers CAS array and 2 Mailbox servers with DAG. I read on some blogs that no requirement of CAS array on Exchange 2013. My concern how to
configure NLB on CAS servers for the client to connect.
Please guide and have any deployment guide for this, kindly share.
Thanks

Hi ,
As you said there is no use and meaning of having the cas array in exchange 2013 and also thanks a lot to Microsoft for introducing an single namespace facility in exchange 2013.
My suggestion and Microsoft recommendation should be to go with hardware load balancers for exchange 2013 rather than using the windows NLB and round robin method.
Why we need to go for HLB ?
Disadvantages
of some load balancing methods :
Windows
NLB :-
If you use Windows NLB then it can provide redundancy on server level failure and not on application level.
DNS
round robin :-
In case if we use the windows round robin method for load balancing then it wouldn't provide server level
and application level redundancy during the failures.At the Same time we need to manually adjust the DNS records during the server failure but on the client end dns caches will create the issues.
Configuring NLB for exchange 2013 :
http://msexchangeguru.com/2013/08/14/windowsnlb/
NLB configurations for exchange 2010 and 2013 will be same.
Configuring round robin for exchange 2013 :
http://exchangeserverpro.com/exchange-2013-client-access-server-high-availability/
Advisable method is to have the CAS and MBX roles on the same box if NLB not comes it to play.Because windows failover clustering and NLB cannot be configured on the same box.In exchange 2013 cas role is a stateless server role so there is no need to have
that role on a separate box.

Exchange Migration 2007 2010 to Exchange 2013

Let me lay it all out. We are running an Exchange 2007 environment with 2-CAS, 2-HT's and 2-MBX's clustered. We started a migration to Exchange 2010 and after starting the migration it was decided that we would instead got to Exchange 2013. In Exchange 2010
we have 3-CAS, 2-HT's and 2-MBX's. We have moved our external connections over to Exchange 2010 and only have test mailboxes on 2010 and that's where we stopped.
We installed Exchange 2013 3-CAS, 2-MBX's. We are testing out 2013 installation. We can access 2013 Web App with the 2013 test accounts. I can access 2013 test mailbox with outlook 2010 by configuring outlook for rpc/https. I am not getting free/busy
form 2007 or 2013 when logged into my 2013 test mailbox. My virtual directories are configured as the following:
Exchange 2007 - mail2007.domain.com\
Exchange 2010 - mail.domain.com\
Exchange 2013 - mail2013.domain.com\

Hello,
Please check internalurl of the Exchange 2007 and 2010 EWS virtual, you can use:
Get-WebservicesVirtualDirectory | select internalurl
If they are not set to their own FQDN, please change it back and restart the IIS services.

CMS Migration - Lync 2010 to Lync 2013 & Pool Pairing

Hi all,
Question regarding CMS installation when migrating away from Lync 2010.
Here's a brief overview of topology
- Lync 2010 Pool in Data Centre 1
- Lync 2013 Pool #1 in Data Centre 1
- Lync 2013 Pool #2 in Data Centre 2
- Lync 2013 Pools are paired
Consider the following
- CMS located on SQL Backend server for Lync 2010 Pool
- CMS database installed on SQL Back end for Lync 2013 Pool #1. CMS is moved to this location
Now for correct pool pairing and failover capabilities I would assume that
- CMS database needs to also be installed on SQL back end for Lync 2013 Pool #2
Once this is done then Lync 2013 Pool #2 Front Ends should replicate back into the CMS stored on the back end SQL database for pool #2? Nothing else would need to be done? As soon as it's installed its now a backup?
If I'm reading into this correctly the following from TechNet is basically telling me to do this?
When you establish a pool pairing that includes the pool hosting the Central
Management store, a backup Central Management store database is set up in the
backup pool, and Central Management store services are installed in both pools.
At any point in time, one of the two Central Management store databases is the
active master, and the other is a standby. The content is replicated by the
Backup Service from the active master to the standby.
Thanks,
paul.

Correct, when you enable pool pairing on Pool A - if it's a CMS server - it will prompt you to create the CMS database on Pool B. If you move CMS into a pool that is already pool paired, my experience is that CMS doesn't get created on Pool B because the
creation only happens during the pool pairing setup. Thanks -Richard

Migrate Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013, Need to defined win 7 users logon to Exchange 2010 & Win 8.1 users logon to Exchange 2013

Hi,
My organization have few win 7 and windows 8.1 clients. Now I want to migrate exchange server 2010 to 2013. And I don't want to remove exchange 2010 from the organization. Because I want to connect win 7 client through exchange 2010 and windows 8.1 user
connect to exchange 2013. Is there any way to define the win 7 users to connect to exchange 2010 and Windows 8.1 users to connect to exchange 2013?
Md. Ramin Hossain

The client connections are proxied to the mailbox servers that hold the mailbox.
You would need to have 2010 MBX servers with the mailboxes for the XP users, and 2013 MBX servers holding the mailboxes for the 7 users. And of course, the appropriate CAS servers.
Realistically, you need to migrate away from Windows XP. It is no longer supported.

Some help with migrating exchange 2010 to exchange 2013 + installing another exchange 2010 to be edge-forefront-proxy server

Hi guys (and girls)!
Hear me up. The idea is like this:
A friend of mine has currently Exchange 2010 SP3 in his environment with Forefront Protection installed on it. As we all know Forefront Protection is discontinued in Exchange 2013 environment because Exchange 2013 on-premisses is using integrated tool for
doing that, but a friend of mine would really like to stick with Forefront Protection because it is "much better tool" then integrated stuff in 2013.
Ok, so here's the idea. Exchange 2010 SP3 with Forefront is installed on Phisical machine (so, not virtualized) on 2008 r2 std OS. We decided to move to Exchange 2013 because we wanted to achieve DAG on Exchange 2010 but we realized that is not possible
because 2008 R2 STD OS does not support failover-clustering functionality, but you are able to achieve that on newer OS for example 2012? Ok, so we bought another server, where we are planing to install Vmware Esxi and put two virtual machines on it.
One Will be 2012 r2 STD OS with Exchange 2013 on it, the other Will be 2008 r2 STD with Exchange 2010 Edge role + Forefront on it. We are planing to move Exchange 2010 production server to virtual machine Exchange 2013, and newly virtual machine
with Exchange 2010 edge server will only be "a kind of Proxy server with Forefront functionality". What concers me?
Should we install Exchange 2010 edge transport 1st, or Exchange 2013? I think I have read somewhere after you put Exchange 2013 in production you are "unable" to install any previous Exchange versions is that true?
One more question about what happens after you install another Exchange 2010 with Edge role in production enviroment? Does installation effects a production enviroment, let's say we do just a clean installation of Exchange + ran updates?
Which roles do you need to install on Exchange 2010 to achive Edge role? Do you need to have all the roles install for having Edge server (mailbox, hub,cas?).

already answered by PS CL above
One more question about what happens after you install another Exchange 2010 with Edge role in production enviroment? Does installation effects a production enviroment, let's say we do just a clean installation of Exchange + ran updates?
No it does not as long you don't make any changes on send/receive connector and do the EdgeSubscription. As soon as you do the Edge subscription there will be send/receive connector created, so pay attention how to setup the Edge Server.
Which roles do you need to install on Exchange 2010 to achive Edge role? Do you need to have all the roles install for having Edge server (mailbox, hub,cas?).
Just install the Edge Transport Server and make sure you install ADLDS services.
as you have mentioned you are doing to install both Mailbox and Edge server on the same VMware - it is a single point of failure.

2010 workflow support

Hi,
Is there any official communication on support for SharePoint 2010 workflow platform in SP 2013 edition. Basically, how by when we should migrate (recreate) 2010 workflows in 2013 (WFM). Any clarification will be very helpful. Thanks.
regards
Subin

SharePoint 2013 has both(2010/2013) engines, have you tried to migrate your old workflows to 2013.
SharePoint 2010 Workflow engine will be automatically installed in SharePoint 2013 and you can run both versions side by side.

Change GUIDs when migrating from SP 2010 to SP 2013?

When migrating custom list schema from SP 2010 to SP 2013, do I need to change the GUIDs for all the fields or can I use them as is?
Thank you!

Hi,
After migrating SharePoint 2010 to SharePoint 2013, all the GUIDs of the sites and lists would change.
If you just wanted to use the list in the site, it would have no impact on the lists, all the custom lists would work well.
However, if you have some functions or solutions based on the GUIDs of the lists, you should change all the GUIDs for all the solutions.
Thanks,

Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013 mail flow?

We are planning to migrate Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013.
I understand that we need to upgrade the CAS to 2013 for Internet Facing.
What about mail flow. Currently, Internet mail flows to Exchange 2010 (single site). Can I keep it for sometime after introducing 2013 and do the cutover of HUB once all the mailboxes are moved to 2013? Or I have to get the mail flow to 2013 first.
Also, how does HUB 2010 transfer mail or receive mail from 2013? Does it get from the CAS proxy in 2013 or from HUB?
Thanks!!!

Yes, you can. But my preference is to move the mail routing early in the migration, usually even before moving mailboxes, because I believe it reduces the risk of a service interruption.
I believe it goes through the front-end transport on the CAS, since that is the TCP port 25 service.

Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013 Public Folder Problem

Dear Experts,
I am in a face of migrating Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013. Below are my infrastructure details,
1) Parent Domain in Site A (abc.com)
2) One Child domain in Site A named child1.abc.com and Exchange 2007 is running in Site A child domain
3) One Child domain in Site B named me.abc.com and currently Exchange 2010 is running in Site B.
I have installed Exchange 2013 in Site B in coexistence scenario now Exchange 2013 users in Site B trying to attempt connection with a public folder store in the Site A Exchange 2007 servers instead of Site B Exchange 2010 servers.
Anyone help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
ZB

so you want users to access the PF in site B.
Check the setting of Databases in Exchange 2013 and find out what is default Public Folder setup for those Database. You will basically need to change the default Public Folder in Exchange 2013 from Site A PF to Site B,, the way you have explained the scenario.

How to migrate a SharePoint 2010 workflow to an SharePoint 2013 environment

Dear guys,
I have a SharePoint 2010 environment with a workflow. Now I would like to migrate this workflow in the SharePoint 2013 environment? How could this be done?
I tried it via Visio, but it is not working...
Best regards
Matthias

All SharePoint designer 2010 based workflows will be upgraded AS IS and can be enhanced using SPD 2013 but enhancement can be done in SP2010 mode only (using SP2010 features), no new SP2013 features can be used in SPD 2010 workflows. Microsoft has provided
a workaround to trigger SP2010 workflows with-in SPD2013 workflows using workflow interop for SharePoint 2013.
