Outlook 2007 compatiable with Exchange server 2013

Hi
I would like to ask, i have outlook 2007 and Exchange server 2013, when i configure outlook 2007, i fail to configuration, Is it outlook 2007 compaitable to exchange server 2013.

Yes, Outlook 2007 is supported. Make sure that the Outlook 2007 clients are fully updated. As a minimum, you need
SP3 for office 2007,
kb2687404 and
kb2768023.
Again, the best approach is to have all office 2007 updates installed.

Hi,
Based on your description, I understand that this issue (C drive gets always full) occurred after Exchange
Server 2013 installed.
à
But my exchange server is installed in different Drive (EX: D)
I suggest that you should check file system to see what folders or files are taking up the space recently.
This issue may be not related to Exchange server.
Please refer to the following article and enable Disk Cleanup Utility. Then monitor the result.

Meanwhile, please check if the winsxs directory is growing bigger.

By the way, please check if you have installed update rollup 2836988. I noticed that Windows.edb file grows
very large. For more details, please refer to the following KB.

How to : Configure Project Server 2010 to work with Exchange Server 2013

Hi everybody. I have a problem. I did integration success project server 2010 with exchange server 2010. But now my customer use exchange server 2013. So my question is "Have a way to integration project server 2010 with exchange server 2013 ?"

I haven't seen any document with Project 2010 and Exchange 2013. You could still try the old document with Project 2010 and Exchange 2010.

It might just work.

Outlook 2013 not connect with Exchange server 2013 in internal network

Hello All,
I Have two Exchange server 2013 in our environment. Both server install mailbox and CAS role. After configure exchange server 2013, Outlook 2013 not connect in internal network. I have configure outlook manually. i tried by using the suggestion from blog
but not work. Outlook show that Server cannot connect/ server name could not be resolved. in outlook setting i also put exchange proxy setting. In exchange admin center i have changed the OWA, OAB, Auto discover name. But still not work.
I know that outlook can be connect from external by using ssl certificate and publish outlook anywhere but i did my configure from internal network.
Can you please suggest as soon as possible.
Thanks,
Parvez

Hi,
Firstly, I’d like to explain, same with external users, internal users use Outlook Anywhere to connect with Exchange server and use Autodiscover get all settings.
Thus, let’s try the following resolutions:
1. run the following command: get-clientaccessservice |fl autodiscoverserviceinternaluri
2. check if the host name in the above URL is in the DNS server and there is a DNS entry about the host name points to the proper IP address.
3. Check if the above host name is in your certificate.
Thanks,

Renaming Windows Server 2012 Domain Controller with Exchange Server 2013

Is it possible to rename Windows Server 2012 Domain Controller, as we are using Exchange Server 2013 as a member server on Windows Server 2012 ?
We have some issues with the Domain Name, so want to rename..
Maybe somebody knows the best practices how to do this in best way???
Thanks.

Hello,
You should do the following:
1. Promote another DC.
2. Transfer FSMO roles to that server.
3. Decommission old DC.
4. Rename it.
5. Promote it again as DC.

Outlook 2007/2010 with Exchange 2010 missing tasks operation has failed only on PC not OWA

We have searched this topic to no success I'm baffled as to how to resolve this problem.
End user software: Outlook 2007 and Outlook 2010,
Server side: MS Server 2012 R2 with MS Exchange 2010
Scenario: We have merged 2 forests together to a new forest. Months before hand had rolled out exchange 2010. A majority of users in
forest2 still are on Office 2007 where as users in
forest1 are nearly all on Office 2010.
Now so far we have 3 users (from Forest2) whom have reported 'missing tasks' with the message 'Operation has Failed' when attempting to view their tasks.
We have ran the outlook commands related to this type of issue that clear the reminders and resetting them with - No Success.
They have no issue when using OWA, or Outlook via mobile device. The issue only occurs on PC. We have tried profile rebuilds, fresh SOE, the issue appears to be resolved but the next time the user opens Outlook the problem comes back.
On the server we have ran all the integrity checks no corruption has been found in any way.

Hi,
I recommend that you try the following method on client PC and then check the result:
Click Start >> Click Run >> Type outlook.exe /resettodobar
>> Click OK.
Hope this helps!
Thanks.

Best way to sync Outlook 2007 calendar with Exchange on SBS 2003

I currently have Vista and Outlook 2007.
My email, contacts and calendar are all in a OST file, which syncs to our Windows SBS 2003 server and the Exchange installed on it.
How should I configure my iPhone and iTunes, in order to have my calendar in iPhone?
After trying for several times to sync through iTunes without any success (could never have any items imported to the iPhone) I did create an Exchange account on my iPhone with the IP address of our SBS server, and my account details, and now all my items seem to appear (however they all have Accept/Maybe/Refuse buttons).
Is this the correct way? Will I get alarms for my appointments, even if I don't accept them on the iPhone?
Thank you!

OK, I think I figured it out, with Apple's iCloud instructions and a little help from campus tech support. This only applies to people using Outlook with Microsoft Exchange.
Enable iCloud on your computer (running Lion) and your iPhone. http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/mac.html
Then go to your iPhone's Mail icon, click on Add Account > Microsoft Exchange and enter your login info.
Doing this transferred my work email and calendar to my phone wirelessly.

Windows Server 2012 R2 with Exchange Server 2013 SP1 Completely fresh install giving errors signing into EAC

Hi,
I am struggling with a completely clean installation of Server 2012 R2 and Exchange 2013 SP1. I followed these steps:
Installed Server OS
Windows Updates
Added Active Directory Role (This is a single standalone server that would have been SBS until it was dropped)
Added DHCP & DNS
Added Certificate Services
Added Windows Server Update Services (WID Database & WSUS Services)
Windows Updates
Added Media Foundation
Added File Server Resource Manager and Work Folders
Added Windows Server Backup
Windows Updates
Checked all running without errors in Server Manager and performed a full bare bones backup.
Ran Setup.exe from Exchange 2013 SP1 disc.
Installed Pre-requisites and then rebooted
Windows Updates
Ran Setup.exe from Exchange 2013 SP1 disc.
Installation completed without errors
Rebooted
Checked all running without errors in Server Manager.
I Launch Exchange Administrative Center and get "problem with website's server certificate error" (normal on machine with self-assigned certificates). Click Continue to Website and get:
Windows Security dialog box:
iexplore - "The server localhost is asking for your username and password. The server reports that it is from Digest"
however no username and password combination will work: have tried [Administrator]; [Domain\Administrator] even created a user to no avail.
I believe the issue is somewhere in the IIS configuration because I also get the same error when trying to log into the server website from either the server or another machine on the network.
I have tried the complete installation three times now: (full disclosure not all of the same features/roles each time). On the first attempt I got this error immediately and on try number 2 was able to get into the EAC and created the mailboxes
but then it started giving the same error. The above steps are try number 3.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Andy Halford
P.S. A Follow up which might be significant: The Default Web Site is not running and will not start (it was previously running before the Exchange installation) and when I try I get the message that Another Website may be using the same port however none
of the others (Exchange Back End or WSUS Administration) are using ports 80 or 443 and I still get the error when they are both stopped.

Could you post the list of sites:
appcmd list site
The ones listening on port 80:
appcmd list site /bindings:http/*:80:
And on port 443:

Issues with setting up Exchange Server 2013

Hi All
Not sure what im doing wrong yet i am having issues with exchange server 2013.
Currently I have got general SMTP Mail flow working. as long as i log onto the local servers OWA (https://10.x.x.x/owa) i can log into a users mailbox. i have tested sending and recieving mail using this and it works.
My main issue now is with accessing the OWA externally via our website. (owa.xx.xx.au/owa) or connecting ANY Outlook to the server.
When i connect to the exchange server via outlook it asks for the password again multiple times never authenticating it then time's out and says:
" the action cannot be completed. the connection to microsoft exchange is unavailable, outlook must be online or
connected to complete this action "
then when i click on OK it goes to the General Tab and under microsoft exchange server: the name for it appears as
[email protected]
with mailbox set as:
=SMTP:[email protected]
Currantly on our DNS i have
mx= 10 mail.xx.xx.au
CNAME= autodiscover = mail.xx.xx.au
CNAME= OWA = mail.xx.xx.au
A = mail = 12.34.56.78
On our modem/router i have set one-to-one nat to our firewall IP
On our firewall i have
SMTP SAT and NAT to Exchange server
HTTPS Sat and NAT to exchange Server
HTTP Sat and Nat to exchange Server
Port 587 SAT and Nat to exchange server
pop SAT and NAt to exchange server
Im willing to bet its something stupid i have overlooked but i was wondering if anyone would be able to help me out
Regards
Sibsy

Hello,
Firstly, please follow the Shadab's suggestion to check related virtual directory settings.
Please make sure you use certificate that's created by a CA that's trusted by the client computer's operating system.
Please use get-outlookanywhere | fl cmdlet to check ExternalClientAuthenticationMethod. By default, the authentication is Negotiate.

Exchange Server 2013 with RADIUS authentication

Hello,
I am a student and doing an internship. I have to test Microsoft Exchange Server 2013.
I am using Windows Server 2012, I already installed Exchange Server 2013 on it and everything works as intended.
But I couldn't find out how to configure my Windows Server 2012 in order to authenticate my mailbox users from Exchange Server 2013 with a RADIUS server which is not on my Windows Server 2012. I have to use their RADIUS server, the RADIUS server from the
company where I am doing my internship.
I already created a NPS and added the RADIUS Client + Remote RADIUS Server Groups. I created a Connection Request Policies with the condition:
User Name *
I forwarded the Connection Request to the Remote RADIUS server that I created in Remote RADIUS Server Groups and then I registered the NPS in th AD. But it's still not working.
Maybe I did something wrong or I misunderstood something or does this even work with Exchange Server 2013? To authenticate mailbox users with a RADIUS server before they can login into their mailbox and use their mailbox?
Thanks in advance.

But the things is I want to make it work with our freeRADIUS2 that we have in place here. Without changing our freeRADIUS2. But I found out this is not possible since we are not using any Active Directory with it. Since I am still a newbie in this environment,
I am not sure if it is possible.
But my main question was if it was possible to use freeRADIUS2 and that my NPS would be the RADIUS proxy. So my question is answered, if I understood right, without making any changes to our freeRADIUS2 this is not going to be possible right? Because we have
no AD?
Our setup is freeRADIUS2 + MySQL database where all the users are stored.
As I mentioned in my previous response this really isn't the right place
for this question but why would you want to try to use a MySQL store for
authenticating against Exchange in the first place when you've already got
an authentication store (Active Directory) that is tightly integrated with
Exchange?
I still really don't understand what it is you're trying to accomplish nor
why you're trying to use such a complicated, convoluted method to
authenticate Exchange users.

Exchange Server 2013 and Remote Access VPN on a single server running Windows Server 2012?

Just by way of background, I have been installing and administering network servers, e-mail systems, VPN servers, and the like for many years. However, my involvement with Exchange and Windows Server has been mostly on the forensics and data recovery
level, or as a (sophisticated) user. I have never tried to deploy either from scratch before. My deployment experiences have been mostly with Linux in recent years, and with small private or personal "servers" running such cutting edge
software as Windows XP back when it was new. And even NetWare once.
When a client asked me if I could set up a server for his business, running Exchange Server (since they really want Outlook with all of its bells and whistles to work, particularly calendars) and providing VPN access for a shared file store, I figured it
could not be too difficult given that its a small business, with only a few users, and nothing sophisticated in the way of requirements. For reasons that don't bear explaining here, he was not willing to use a vendor hosting Exchange services or cloud
storage. There is no internal network behind the server; it is intended to be a stand-alone server, hanging off a static IP address on the Internet, providing the entirely mobile work-force of about 10 people with Exchange-hosted e-mail for their computers
and phones, a secure file store, and not much else. If Exchange didn't need it, I would not need to install Active Directory, for example. We have no direct need for its services.
So I did the research and it appears, more by implication than outright assertion, that I should be able to run Windows Server 2012 with Exchange Server 2013 on a server that also hosts Remote Access (VPN only) and does nothing else. And it appears
I ought to be able to do it without virtualizing any of it. However, I have spent the last three or four days fighting one mysterious issue after another. I had Remote Access VPN working and fairly stable very quickly (although it takes a very
long time to become available after the server boots), and it has mostly remained reliable throughout although at times while installing Exchange it seems to have dropped out on me. But I've always been able to get it back after scrounging through the
logs to find out what is bothering it. I have occasionally, for a few minutes at a time, had Exchange Server willing to do everything it should do (although not always everything at the same time). At one point I even received a number of e-mails
on my BlackBerry that had been sent to my test account on the Exchange Server, and was able to send an e-mail from my BlackBerry to an outside account.
But then Exchange Server just stopped. There are messages stuck in the queues, among other issues, but the Exchange Administration Center refuses now to display anything (after I enter my Administrator password, I just get a blank screen, whether on
the server or remotely).
So, I am trying to avoid bothering all of you any more than I have to, but let me just begin with the basic question posed in the title: Can I run Exchange Server (and therefore Active Directory and all of its components) and Remote Access (VPN only) on
a single Windows Server 2012 server? And if so, do I have to run virtual machines (which will require adding more memory to the server, since I did not plan for it when I purchased it)? If it can be done, can anyone provide any pointers on what
the pitfalls are that may be causing my problems? I am happy to provide whatever additional information anyone might like to help figure it out.
Thanks!

An old thread but I ran into this issue and thought I share my solution since I ran into the same issue. Configuring VPN removes the HTTPS 443 binding on the Default Site in IIS for some strange reason; just go and editing the bindings, add HTTPS and things
should be back to normal.
