Old DB in Queue Viewer of New Exchange server

Exchange 2013 SP no DAG. A couple of days ago we migrated from one exchange 2013 sp1 server to another exchange 2013 sp1 server. This new server seems to running fine with the exception that the old DB is in the new server's queue viewer:
New DB is mailbox database and the other DB is the old DB. How do I get the old DB out of the queue. The old exchange server has NOT been removed/uninstalled. We want to keep the old server (powered off) for a couple days to make sure things are working
OK.

How did you remove the old server you migrated from?
Ed Crowley MVP "There are seldom good technological solutions to behavioral problems."
We have not removed it as of yet because we want to make sure everything is working correctly before we uninstall exchange.
@Amy, yes the old DB shows up when running that command. The server that holds that DB is powered off and ECP says it is dismounted.
Also, it seems this old DB, its message count keeps going up in number. When I suspend that DB, all SMTP mail stops. I dismounted the old DB on the new server and when I try to mount it again on the new server:
Failed to mount database "Mailbox Database 0119046452". Error: An Active Manager operation failed. Error: The database
action failed. Error: Operation failed with message: MapiExceptionDatabaseError: Unable to mount database.

Our exchange server crashed and we lost all contact and calendar data. We found an app to get the contacts off of people's phone to import but can't find the same for calendar. How do I get my calendar info off my phone and in to new exchange server?

You'd have to think through this, but it seems like if you are using Outlook, and the items vanished from the Outlook client as well as the server,that you could re-populate Outlook using iTunes.

Old UCCX CSQ's showing in new UCCX server

Hi all,
I'm having a problem with UCCX historical reporting - we're running both an old IPCC server and a new IPCC server simultaneously.
However we have installed the UCCX 7 historical reporting and pointing it to the new UCCX server and now it still seems to pickup old CSQ names that have never been on the new server, somehow they have populated the new server.
My question is how do I remove the old CSQ names from the available parameters when I'm running the reports.
Thanks,
Thomas.

If you did an BARS upgrade then the old queue information will have been pulled across as part of that process.
Most reports have an advanced tab that allows you to filter out unnecessary CSQs.
If that does not suit then I guess you could manually start deleting stuff from the relevent SQL2000 databases - needless to say caution and good backups would be needed here!

New Exchange Server 2013 in a Exchange 2007 Org, can't get cu's to install

Hi,
We have an Exchange Server 2007 in our organization. I installed an Exchange Server 2013 but could not get the CU3 to install, would throw exceptions. I tried CU2 and it got a lot further but failed to start a service near the end. Don't ask for specifics
as I got frustrated and blew this machine away and installed a fresh VM. I read that you can install the CU's as if they are a fresh installation. I tried this but it fails saying "the Exchange server is in an inconsistant stet....recover". There
IS no Exchange server yet!!
What am I doing wrong? I used the command line for CU3, like: setup /mode:install /roles:ca,mb,mt /IAccept blah blah blah. I didn't set powershell execution policy, not sure if that was it. Are there switches I am missing? I want to see if I can install
the Exchange CU3 right from the get-go.
HeLp!

Hi,
According to the error message, this issue may occur if the previous Exchange installation or un-install failed to complete. This situation leaves the Exchange server
object in Active Directory and prevents a new installation.
We can try:
1. Install ADSI Edit.
2. Launch ADSI Edit. To do this, click Start, click Run, type adsiedit.msc in the text box, and then click OK.
3. Locate the Exchange server object by going to the following location: CN=Configuration, DC= Domain Name, DC=com, CN=Services, CN=Microsoft Exchange, CN=<Organization
Name>, CN=Administrative Groups, CN= <Exchange Administrative Group>, CN=Servers, CN=<Server Name>.
4. Delete the server object.
5. Remove the Exchange server's machine account from Security groups Exchange Servers and Exchange Install Domain Servers.

Unable to install new Exchange server

Hello all,
The basics of this is that I had an exchange 2007 server install that went wrong and now there is an additional exchange server in ADSI edit. I have brought in a completely new server and gave it the same name. When I go to install exchange 2010
server, I get an error message. ""Some Controls aren't valid. The exchange server is in an inconsistent state. Only disaster recovery mode is available. Please use Setup/M:RecoverServer to recover this exchange server.""
I don't want to do a recovery since I am going on clean install on a newer version of Exchange. I have been told I can delete the server from ADSI edit, but I am unable to even logging in as the domain admin with exchange admin rights and schema rights.
If I right-click the server, there is no option at all for delete or remove. Am I stuck with changing the server name, or is there a way to get rid of the fubar install server and use the same name?
Thanks,
David

Taking this as a two step process, you first need to delete the Exchange server object from the configuration container (full path is: config container, Configuration, Services, Microsoft Exchange, your organization, Administrative Group, Exchange
Administrative Group (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT), Servers), then install the new Exchange 2010 server. So first, make your account an enterprise admin and Exchange admin and you should be able to delete the server object in ADSIEdit. This isn't a schema
modification, so those rights aren't necessary; and Exchange installs in the configuration container, so domain admin rights aren't needed. I'll add that you should be able to do this with only Exchange admin rights, but you've obviously tried that before.
Once you have deleted the server object, you should be able to install Exchange 2010 on the same server you had tried to install on before. Keep in mind that you will need to be Ent Admin, Schema Admin, and local admin on the server for the install.

Problems with new exchange server

I have a brand new 2012 server running exchange 2013. Ever since we installed this exchange server, it has been a huge pain. We've had it up and running perfectly one day, then the next it constantly spits out issues from users about not being able to connect
to the proxy server. I've had times where OWA and ECP are accessible and functional, and times where they are not (blank page).
Most recent iteration of issues. This morning everything was working fine (and was for a few days minus the fact the clients would randomly disconnect for at most 10-15 seconds at a time before reconnecting). I left for lunch, and came back to all outlook
clients receiving a:
There is a problem with the proxy certificate. The name on the security certificate is invalid or does not match the name of the target.
I was also unable to log in to the OWA or the ECP. (would login, but give me a blank page).
After some research that led me to http://sumoomicrosoft.blogspot.de/2012/11/exchange-2013-emc-blank-page.html I was finally able to restore connectivity to the OWA and ECP. Fortunately there arent many users here today, so the only user around is
able to function off the OWA. However, this did not resolve the outlook clients.
It may be obvious, but I am not an exchange administrator. My boss sold them exchange 2013 because they demanded hosting onsite rather than through 365 and now Im having to deal with the fallout. If anyone with some exchange experience can give some advice,
I will give you all the information you ask to resolve this issue once and for all.

Well,this sounds like certificate issue.
First of all,if you are able to login to ecp please login and navigate to Servers - certificate.
Do you have only default certs?By default there is only 3 certs (if CAS and Mailbox is installed on same server)
If so,then you need to issue a new cert,either through 3rd part ( like godaddy ) or using domain CA to issue one.
Here is some guide: http://exchangeserverpro.com/create-ssl-certificate-request-exchange-2013/
Or if prefere VDO: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eukMn9F0I-8
Remember that name of the certificate MUST contain FQDN name of your exchange CAS servers.
Subject name should be the name of your domain.
Recomended is to use 3rd part certificate authority like godaddy.
When cert is created,check your iis that the new cert is bounded to the site (default web site) on your Exchange servers.

How do I get something like the old TEXT ONLY to view the new "mobile" news pages on one page like it was up to April?

I used to get a digital version of the front page of the printed wall st journal, now I get a long series of screens with big print headings & a picture. Pretty much the same thing at Bloomberg news. I get it that that's all they can get on a phone screen, but I'm not using a phone, so why am I being punished! Is there some setting I can change or an add-on to fix this without having to change to a text only browser?

I do not want to half to install things into my PC that i do not trust! I just want this gone and like i said Firefox should of given us the choice to add this and not forced us, because if there is no actual way to remove it then il be forced to remove Firefox till they either remove it or allow us to remove it!

New Exchange Migration Does Not Work Properly After Old Exchange Services Shut Off

Moved Exchange 2013 SP1 mailboxes, system mailboxes, public folders and OAB to new server with Exchange 2013 SP1. Followed all the suggestions here:
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/1bdf67a1-ad0e-4e96-922f-3778d6bd8e98/move-exchange-2013-to-new-virtual-server-including-settings?forum=exchangesvrdeploy
Problem is when we shut off the old exchange server services, no mail flows and can not reach OWA. It seems as though the servers are "coexisting". I say coexisting because all the firewall rules point to the new server, all the settings in ECA/ECP
point to the new server, all the DNS records point to the new server. We need to be able to run exchange on the new server without the old server running. Is there something I left off?

I would hold up on decomming the old environment until you make sure you have all the dependencies removed from it. I have done a number of migrations to 2013 and I always shutdown the old environment for atleast a day to make sure I caught everything.
When you say you can't reach OWA is that internally or externally? As for the mail flow thing, I think you might need to check your send connectors and receive connectors. These don't get created/updated
with Also, if you have a 3rd party hygiene solution (like a postini or mimecast) you will need to contact them and have them allow the new public IP for the Exchange 2013 environment (or setup a NAT Rule that translates old public IP to new Exchange
Server. )
Ok, i turned off the old server and email DOES flow to and from intranet/internet. And i can get to most OWA pages. However, there is at least one that i can not make it to. We host email here and every domain has this syntax:
https://mail.theirdomainhere.tld
Like i said, the external DNS records for this particular domain does reflect the public ip of our router. Our router then sends that connection to the new exchange server.

Restore Exchange DB after Recreation of mailboxes to New Exchange(low priority)

Hello to Everyone
Recently one client of mine had a problem with an exchange migration that he tried (2010 to 2013) and he needed to restore his old EDB from windows backup to restore 10 Mailboxes that he had already migrated. We run the whole procedure with eseutil,
ISINTEG etc. The problem was that the client had already deleted the mailboxes and the AD Users and recreated them on a new database. When I tried to export or move the mailboxes the Power Shell reported unknown error and as I understood tried
to Read from active directory GUID and couldn't find the same and Stopping.
We solved the problem with the OST to PST files relied on the computers but I would like to hear from your experience if we had other Alternatives?
I could think only to restore Exchange and the domain controller on a VLAN so they have the same AD Objects and then Export all mailboxes to PSTs and then Re import them to the New Exchange Server.
Thank you
Alexios

Not sure the steps you took, however based upon your brief explanation it sounds as though you were able to restore and rollup the logs using eseutil, correct?
Did you then use the RDB process to mount this DB onto an Exchange 2010 Server?
Assuming the above is correct you should then be able to restore the mailbox from the source DB into a temporary user mailbox as outlined here
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee332351%28v=exchg.150%29.aspx
If the above doesn't work for you the other option would be to use a 3rd party tool like Lucid8's DigiScope
http://www.lucid8.com/product/digiscope.asp which would allow you to easily open the Offline 2010 EDB to see all the mailboxes and their contents. You can then easily export to PST or directly
recover/migrate data from the offline 2010 EDB into the 2013 Production Exchange Server
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
DigiScope
1. Yes Troy that is correct. I soft repair the db but it was continuing to be in dirty state. So I hard repaired it and came to a clean state.
2. I then Created a recoveryDB and tried to move mailboxes to temp mailboxes or export mailboxes etc.
3. There was no luck with the above, the power-shell reported that the mailbox GUID has changed and don't match with the AD signature, I am thinking this is probably because the client has already recreated all the mailboxes to a new db with the same
usernames-mails. In the end and after one day of tries I recommended a third party tool that I tried and I have seen that finds all the data of the mailboxes or if we have the OST of the users to convert them to PST. They used the second suggestion with OST
and I restored everything.
I posted this problem for brainstorming and if anyone else had the same problem or might have an idea why this happened. :)
Thanks

Move Exchange 2010 Server from AD Server to a new Member Server

Hi All,
I would like to get some suggestion on a particular task which i have presently , In my organisation i have a Exchange Server 2010 installed on Win2008 R2 DC (FSMO role Holder), also i got a ADC on Win2003 R2 Server for the same Domain , My
task is to move Exchange 2010 from DC to a new Member server without loosing mail boxes and present configuration ,Kindly guide me with the steps to achieve this task easly
Thanks & Regards
Sameer

Hi Sameer and thanks for posting. Its good that you are moving exchange server from DC, because installing exchange server on DC its not recommended. To get the job done: 1.Install exchange server on the new Member server. (You can spread the roles on
the different servers if you are in the enterprise level organization.) 2.Create MailBox Databases according to your management style. 3.Move the mailboxes from DC server to the new Exchange server. 4.Move System Mailboxes to New server. 5.I would move FSMOs
to the ADC and shut down the old exchange for a week. 6.If everything was alright uninstall old exchange and move FSMOs back. I hope this helps. Farhad

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.

DPM2012R2CU5 does not detect new Exchange Databases

Hello,
I have a problem with DPM2012 R2 CU5 running on Windows Server 2012 R2. We recently deployed a new Exchange Server 2013 CU8 on Windows Server 2012 R2.
After deploying the agent, DPM recognized the the first database we created and by now the initial backup has been performed.
However we added two more databases afterwards but DPM does neither find the new databases when we try to add them to the protection group nor does it recognize the volumes they are on.
The new "Refresh" button in the Wizard is greyed out.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards
Sascha

Hi,
Once you expand a server, the refresh button will be grayed out.
The behavior (during modifying a PG) is that if a server has some data sources already protected,
then the refresh button is greyed out. To refresh such a server, you can either:
Uncheck its data sources, highlight the server, the refresh button will now be active, press refresh and re-check the data sources again.
Refresh the server the first time before expanding it.
I will have the above steps added to the below BLOG.

Upgrading Exchange Server 2003 to 2010 to 2013 is worth???

Hello there, I am planning to upgrade about 30 users from exchange server 2003 to 2010 and finally to 2013. Is it worth to upgrade in this way because this steps are hard and very time consuming. What if, if I just copy all the user mailboxes directly to
exchange server 2013 and configure 2013 as a new exchange server and decommission old exchange server 2003?
How to copy user mailboxes to fresh exchange server 2013?
Please help me out.
Thankx

Yes, Export the PST from User Mailbox and Import it into Exchange 2013 Mailbox. But the problem is, you can't install Exchange 2013 in your current Exchange 2003 environment.
Only option is to install Exchange 2010 first and migrate all the users to Exchange 2010. Also Replicate the Public Folders too(If you are using)
Decommission Exchange 2003 entirely. Install Exchange 2013 SP1 and Migrate the User to Exchange 2013.
