Outlook unaware of mailbox migration

Hi
We are migrating mailboxes from E2007 to E2013 and most of the time users correctly receive the prompt:
The Microsoft Exchange Administrator has made a change that requires you quit and restart Outlook
However, in some cases users do not receive this. Outlook shows "connected" but they are not actually connected
The PublicFolderDatabase value is the same in both environments as we only have 1 in 2007:
Output from E2007 database:
Get-MailboxDatabase "E2007DB" | fl *pub*
PublicFolderDatabase           : Server\Public Folder Database\DB1
Output from E2013 database:
Get-MailboxDatabase | fl *pub*
PublicFolderDatabase   : Server\Public Folder Database\DB1
If I remove the value from the E2013 servers, will that force a prompt for all clients?
Thanks

Hi shapi,
"The Microsoft Exchange Administrator has made a change that requires you quit and restart Outlook.", you can work around this issue using one or more of the following methods.
1. Repair the Exchange email account on Outlook.
2. Create a new Outlook profile.
For more information, here is a kb for your reference.
Outlook 2013 cannot connect after an Exchange Server 2010 mailbox is moved to Exchange Server 2013 (Note: Though it refers to Exchange 2010 migration to Exchange 2013, I think it also applies to Exchange 2007 migration to Exchange 2013 about this issue)

  • Double Contacts Folder after Mailbox Migration

    Here’s a new one for you… I’ve done a few Exchange 2007/2010 to 2013 migrations so far, and to my knowledge they’ve been successful… until now…
    I migrated my own server from 2007 to 2013 over the weekend.  Mailbox migration finished early Tuesday morning my time (Monday was a public holiday).  Everything seemed to work just fine.
    Yesterday (Tuesday) I noticed on my Win8.1 phone, that a large number of my contacts were missing.  Digging deeper I found that my phone was missing the contacts from my main mailbox.  I checked my iPad to see if the contacts were there – they
    were!  I figured somethings up with my Win8.1 phone, so I removed the account and readded it – same problem.  I added a user to the contacts on my Win8.1 phone and sync’d it.  It showed up in the iPad no problems. 
    I then went to Outlook and switched the pane to Folder View – I could then see two contacts folder both at the root of my mailbox.  The test user was in the first folder.  If I try to expand the 2<sup>nd</sup> folder, it sends outlook
    into a massive loop and flickers between the two folders as if they are fighting one on one…
    If however I switch the view to People – I see the two contacts folders as just fine and can look into each of them.  In one of them I can see the Testuser.  In the other folder I can see all my other contacts that are "missing"
    But wait… it gets better still.  In our office several months back, we migrated from Exchange 2010 to 2013.  I wondered if others had seen the problem.  From what I can see today, it appears that anyone with a Windows 8 phone has this duplicated
    contacts folder. They appear to have the exact same problem… right down to the flickering and crash of Outlook 2013…
    I'm concerned now because this is now a couple of migrations that we've seen this on and I've no idea whats gone wrong.
    I've checked event logs - nothing seems amiss there.
    Any thoughts on how to troubleshoot this?

    Hi Wayne,
    I have seen this issue if original mailbox was in different language than the new mailbox.I have even seen this even if original mailbox had EN-US and new database is EN-UK.
    Please run the following command in Exchange powershell:
    Get-MailboxFolderStatistics [email protected] | Select Name,FolderSize,ItemsinFolder
    Do you see two contact folder here aswell?
    Solution for us it to copy all "old Contacts" to new Contact and delete the old one.When try to delete the default Contact you will get error message that it cant be removed.
    Please mark as helpful if you find my contribution useful or as an answer if it does answer your question. That will encourage me - and others - to take time out to help you. Thank you! Off2work

  • Move Mailboxes from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013 (Could not find a valid mailbox migration for esta organization)

    Hi all, I am in full migration from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013 and everything went correctly.
    I have migrated several mailboxes and are working well. But a few days ago, when I try to migrate a mailbox I get the following error and can not migrate:
    "Could not find a valid mailbox migration for this organization"
    Do you know that you can be?
    regards
    Microsoft Certified IT Professional Server Administrator

    Hi,
    From your description, the issue should be related to the migration mailbox. I recommend you check if the following account is existed in ADUC.
    Migration.8f3e7716-2011-43e4-96b1-aba62d229136
    If this account does not exist, you need to run setup /prepareAD and then enable this migration mailbox to check the result.
    Hope this can be helpful to you.

  • Mailboxes migration to new partition

    Dear Folks,
    We had to migrate the mailboxes from one partition to another, (partition 1 got full). We mounted another disk from SAN (600 GB) the double the size of existing partition (300 GB). How ever after the migration (mailboxes migration from old partition to new) , some how the partition size expanded, old partition was 290 GB and now after migrating the mailboxes to the newly mounted disk, partition size is 380 GB......Here is the question, How we can (OR keep the mailboxes compression) compress the mailboxes to keep the size of partition as it was in old partition (disk) ...???
    We are running :
    Sun Java(tm) System Messaging Server 6.2-4.03 (built Sep 22 2005)

    If the expansion has occurred due to single-message copy being expanded by the move, you can use the relinker utility to reset the hard-links between identical messages.
    The theory behind single-message copy and the relinker utility are described here:

  • Slow Mailbox Migration

    Hello All 
    We are in coexistence with 2007 and exchange 2013 and everything is working fine except mailbox migration, which is taking very long. 
    Mailbox size is average 200MB and migration for 10 mailboxes takes about 12 hours, even within the same LAN and across WAN link
    The architecture is
    DataCenter 1
    2007 Environment
    2013 CAS1
    2013 Mailbox1
    2013 Edge
    DataCenter 2
    2013 CAS2
    2013 Mailbox2
    2013 Edge2
    Has anyone experienced problems like this before?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    If the servers are performing other higher priority jobs, the mailbox movements will be stalled. When the servers get freed up from higher priority jobs, the mailbox movement resumes.
    I recommend you use the New-MoveRequest cmdlet with the Priority parameter to check the result.
    If only some mailboxes are affected, you can set the BadItemLimit parameter to a higher value to check the result.

  • Outlook 2010 - Two Mailboxes - How to force "From" value to match the mailbox you are replying from

    Hi there,
    The scenario:
    Exchange 2010 and Outlook 2010
    Two mailboxes - the users personal mailbox and a shared mailbox. 
    Is there a way to configure Outlook 2010 so that if the user replies to an email that has been sent to the shared mailbox, the reply will automatically be sent from the shared-mailbox address and conversely
    if the user replies to an email that has been sent to their personal address, the reply back will automatically be set to send from their personal address.
    At the moment I have enabled the "From" field but this is not ideal as it is easy to forget to change the address if you are busy.  Also, they seem to think this was possible in Outlook 2003 so I would be surprised if this was a deliberately
    dropped feature from Outlook 2010.
    Many thanks for your time,
    Tony

    This is by design
    when you want to reply from shared mailbox you can use OWA
    Open owa login with your credentials
    https://mail.domain.com/
    in the url above suffix the shared mailbox email address this will show you the OWA view of Shared mailbox
    it will look like https://mail.domain.com/[email protected]

  • Mailbox migration from one server (country 1) to another server (country 2 ) ( exchange 2007)

    Hi,
    My exchange servers are hosted with my hosting service provider at London, i have 1000 users and each are having 3 Gig mail box size (exchange 2007) and this exchange server is part of our company network which is extended to hosting service provider. I
    need to setup new exchange 2007 as part of existing exchange organisation and migrate the users from London to Singapore.
    The bandwidth between our company and hosting facility 20 MB.
    What is the best method to move the mailboxes from loon service provide to our company ?
    I cannot do complete 3 gig mailbox migration from source to destination due to wan bandwidth limitation and time.
    I can do only move the mails to local pst then migrate the mailboxes to new server and import the pst mails to exchange mailbox.
    Is there any other method available ? backup and restoration ?
    Please help me to provide best method for mailbox migration.

    For migrating exchange mailboxes from one server to another server (across the country), the suitable approach will be to export mailboxes into pst files.
    This job can be simplified even more, take the offline copy of edb file to the destination system (at Singapore) then export all mailboxes (of all sizes) from offline file to separate PST files. Then run PowerShell scripts to import the PSTs. For extracting
    mailboxes from offline edb file use a stable edb converter solution that extracts mailboxes (even very large sized) & create new pst file for each of equivalent size.

  • Bulk notification before mailbox migration

    Hello,
    I will start mailbox migration from Exchange 2010 to 2013 per databases. Can you please let me know how I can send out a bulk email notifications to the users in the mailbox database before the migration? 
    Thanks

    $Boxes = Get-Mailbox -Database DB01
    Foreach ($Box in $Boxes){Send-MailMessage -Subject "Migration" -Body "your being moved tonight"
    -From "[email protected]" -To $Box.PrimarySmtpAddress -SmtpServer "smtp.domain.com"}
    That should do it.

  • Mailbox migration 2010 SP3 to 2013 error

    We have a migration problem, a single 2010 server with all the roles migrating to 2013 with separate CAS and DB roles. Approx 50% of mailboxes are getting stuck and reporting "Transient error MapiExceptionNetworkError has occurred. The system will retry
    (1/60)" and "Relinquishing job because the mailbox is locked".
    I have tried restarting the services suggested in another thread (Mailbox Migration Service and Search) but it makes no difference.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks!
    Ben

    Hi ,
    Please find the below mentioned points.
    1.Please share me the output for the below mentioned command.
    Get-MoveRequestStatistics -Identity [email protected] -IncludeReport | Export-CSV C:\MRStats.csv
    2.Please check the content index state of the target database is healthy and ensure the entire mailbox database status was in healthy state.I mean the database where you are going to move the mailbox.
    3.If your exchange 2013 environment is having an single exchange server and target database copy doesn't have the second copy then we need to set the below parameter value to none for that particular database.
    DataMoveReplicationConstraint : None
    (or)
    If your exchange 2013 environment is having an multiple exchange server and target database copy is having  the second copy then we can set the below parameter value to secondcopy.
    DataMoveReplicationConstraint :Secondcopy
    Note : After anyone of the above change ,Microsoft exchange mailbox replication service needs to be restarted.
    4.Restart the Microsoft exchange mailbox replication service and check the results.
    5. Have you tried moving the same mailboxes to the different databases.
    6.Please check the mailbox size which you are trying to move to a different database.Because there might be lot of possibilities to have the target database with limited size.
    Please feel free to reply me if you have any queries.
    Thanks & Regards S.Nithyanandham

  • Mailbox Migration Error

    I am operating an Exchange 2013 CU7 in a co-exit environment with an Exchange 2010 server. when I try to setup a mailbox migration through the EAC I receive and Error "Multiple potential Migration mailboxes were found for this organization. Please
    specify a particular Partition mailbox to use." and I can go any further or finish performing the migration.
    any thoughts would be appreciated.

    I contacted Microsoft to work through this error message and we were able to get it resolved.
    hear is the solution for this error message.
    within "Active Directory Users and Computer" in the
    Users OU, find and delete the following accounts. (don't worry we will recreate them in a few moments.)
    DiscoverySearchMailbox {D919BA05-46A6-415f-80AD-7E09334BB852}

    SystemMailbox{e0dc1c29-89c3-4034-b678-e6c29d823ed9}
    Once they are removed, go to your Exchange 2013 server and run the following command from an elevated command prompt
    (locate the Exchange Setup File from you CD or download location and run)
    Setup.exe /Preparead /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms (this recreates all the account we just deleted.)
    we are almost done. next we have to enable the accounts. This time from 2013 "Exchange Management Shell" run the following commands one at a time.
    Enable-Mailbox –Arbitration “DiscoverySearchMailbox {D919BA05-46A6-415f-80AD-7E09334BB852}”
    Enable-Mailbox –Arbitration “FederatedEmail.4c1f4d8b-8179-4148-93bf-00a95fa1e042”

    Set-Mailbox "Migration.8f3e7716-2011-43e4-96b1-aba62d229136" -Arbitration –Management:$true
    once you have completed this you will be able to close the Exchange Admin Centre, then log back in and go to Migration tab without any errors.

  • Mailbox migration using JavaMail

    Has anyone ever attempted, successfully or otherwise, using the JavaMail API to write a program performing mailbox migration.
    Essentially, the task of grabbing all the folders and msgs from one mailbox and putting them into another mailbox.
    Thanks!

    See http://www.jservlet.com/
    Use EMail object with Pop3 object (see method EMail.sendRedirect and use IMAP protocol for grabbing all folders)

  • Exchange - Outlook 2010 - Additional mailboxes are re-added

    Hello,
    i am having the problem that some additional mailboxes are re-added to my outlook-profile.
    I did have full-mailbox-access in the past, but this is a few months ago.
    I tried this :
    http://www.interworks.com/blogs/ijahanshahi/2012/05/18/outlook-2010-additional-mailbox-will-not-close
    but after a new login, the mailboxes are re-added again.
    I can not open these mailboxes, because i don`t have access to them.
    These mailboxes are not shown in the account-settings-tab in Outlook.
    Anybody with a solution for this?
    Thx 

    Hi ,
    1.Through dsa.msc Just take the object path of the mailbox which is auto mapping to your mailbox.
    2.Login in to your domain controller and open a tool called ADSIEDIT through run prompt.
    3.Then connect the default naming context (domain name) through ADSIEDIT tool and then expand it.
    4.Then you can see the structure as same as OU. From there you can able to find the account  which is adding automatically to your account by referring the object path which was taken from the step 1.
    5.Just go to the properties of the mailbox and then look for the attribute msExchDelegateListLink
    .On that attribute you will find the list of  values which is having automapping access
    to that mailbox.On that you should have to delete the value which belongs to you mailbox.

  • Setting Outlook's Default mailbox programaticaly C# Microsoft Outlook Library 14.0

    I want to set the user selected domain(from list of domains configured in Outlook) from my application
    as Outlook's Default mailbox programaticaly. Is there any function in outlook library 14.0 to set default mailbox from all configured outlook accounts ?
    I am using C# and Microsoft Outlook Library 14.0 for Outlook 2010 for my application.

    Hello Sridhar,
    The Outlook object model doesn't provide anything for setting the default account in Outlook. These settings are stored in the windows registry. The How
    do I get Outlook to actually default new emails to a specific account and not ignore the default setting? forum thread states the following:
    Out of the box, Outlook 2010 SP1 and Outlook 2013 use the default account for Send to commands but not for new messages created while viewing a pst file (when a POP account is assigned to the pst file), unless you set a registry value to always force the use
    of the default account.
    To force all new messages to use the default email account, regardless of which pst file you are viewing, browse to the following registry subkey in Outlook 2010 and add a DWORD named NewItemsUseDefaultSendingAccount:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook\Options\Mail
    DWORD value: NewItemsUseDefaultSendingAccount
    Value: 1
    In Outlook 2013, the key is:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Outlook\Options\Mail
    DWORD value: NewItemsUseDefaultSendingAccount
    Value: 1
    Registry key to force account selection every time
    This fix is simple, but can get annoying, fast, since it forces the user to select an account every time they send a new message. (Replies and Forwards always use the account the message arrived on.)
    This might be good for people who use multiple accounts and frequently (accidentally) send using the wrong account, especially if they are sending sensitive documents, as it will almost eliminate accidentally sending email from the wrong account.
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\14.0\outlook\options
    Value Name: ForceAccountSelection
    Value type: REG_DWORD: 1 for force, 0 to disable.
    In Outlook 2013, the registry key is:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\15.0\outlook\options
    Value Name: ForceAccountSelection
    Value type: REG_DWORD: 1 for force, 0 to disable.
    Also see Outlook 2010 does not honor the default sending account .
    You may also find the
    SendUsingAccount property of the MailItem class which allows to set an Account object
    that represents the account under which the MailItem is
    to be sent. For example:
    Sub SendUsingAccount()
    Dim oAccount As Outlook.account
    For Each oAccount In Application.Session.Accounts
    If oAccount.AccountType = olPop3 Then
    Dim oMail As Outlook.MailItem
    Set oMail = Application.CreateItem(olMailItem)
    oMail.Subject = "Sent using POP3 Account"
    oMail.Recipients.Add ("[email protected]")
    oMail.Recipients.ResolveAll
    oMail.SendUsingAccount = oAccount
    oMail.Send
    End If
    Next
    End Sub

  • Outlook Users connection issues after Mailbox Migration from 2007 to 2013

    Hi,
    We have a coexistance between Exchange 2007 SP3 and Exchange 2013 CU7. There is an issue when after migrating the user from exchange 2007 mailbox to exchange 2013, the outlook keeps on prompting for password when it is being launched. Checking the Connection
    Status we found that there is a connection to the old 2007 Server and the type is Exchange Public Folder. I have migrated the public folder and checked the Mailbox of the user and found that the DefaultPublicFolderMailbox is set to the 2013 Public Folder Mailbox.
    If I check my 2013 MailboxDatabase Properties, It sill shows that PublicFolderDatabase Properties is still pointing to the 2007 Public Folder Database. Any resolution on this?
    Another issue is, We set outlook anywhere on the 2013 to use basic authentication, however, when users are migrated to 2013 the Outlook client changes to NTLM. even if we set the outlook to basic to make it work, it still comes back to NTLM after a while.
    I did most of the resolutions online to use powershell to make changes to outlook anywhere but no luck. any suggestions is highly appreciated.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Arthur

    Hi,
    For the first problem, please check the msExchHomePublicMDB attribute for mailbox database in Exchange 2013, you can check this attribute in ADSIEdit.
    If this attribute is pointing to Exchange 2007 public folder database, please set to blank. After that, please restart the information service.
    And for the second question, I suggest we open a new case for this issue. In order to avoid confusion and keep track of troubleshooting steps, we usually troubleshoot one
    issue per thread in order to find a resolution efficiently.
    Thanks for your understanding.
