Reinstall Exchange server running evaluation windows 2012 DC

Hi,
My exchange server 2013 is running in windows server 2012 evaluation version DC, I purchased license but cannot activate windows server 2012 because it is DC. Kindly advise how I can activate windows or how to reinstall windows server and exchange
server and restore the database.
Thank You,
Arafath

Install new Windows Server 2012.
Note: Make sure it's not Windows 2012 R2. R2 is not supported for Exchange 2013.
Promote the server as DC, replicate the AD/DNS to new domain controller
Once the replication is done, install exchange server on the server.
Move all the mailboxes to new server, replicate the Public Folder to new server.
Test exchange with new server and make sure users are able to connect using outlook, Outlook Anywhere, OWA, ActiveSync, Mail flow is working internally and externally.
Once you confirmed it, shutdown the old server, and test the same again to make sure if you remove the old server it's not going to cause any issue to new server and new server will work find without the Old Server.
Again, try if you can get DC on different server and exchange on the member server.

Exchange Server 2013 In Windows Server 2012 - unable to logon EXchange Administrator Center (EAC)

Hi All,
I Just installed Exchange Server 2013 in Windows Server 2012 and trying to connect Dynamics CRM 2013 (DNS).
The Installations Success full but unable to load the EAC page by using the following URL
https://servername:port/owa/auth/logon.aspx
I have cross checked in Exchange/owa/auth folder don't have the "logon.aspx" file
But the auth folder have the "logoff.aspx"
I installed many time freshly in separate WS-2012 but it not contains that logon.aspx
I want access the Exchange Administrator Center
Please Help me to solve it
IIS Exchange (Missing of logon.aspx)

Hi All,
I sorted out this problem
Actually we have to run these 2 commands in Domain Control, But what i did I just run this
1) setup /PrepareSchema /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms
Command in Domain Control we don't need to run the 2nd command, Because I already try to installed exchange 2013 very first time it success and after some modifications
it gone.
That time it will ask you to provide Organization name, Once you give that it will create the Organization name in Domain control and it will save the settings when
you install first time
Because of this reason It is failing to run these 2 command
Finally what i did I just revert back my Domain control snapshot & Exchange server as well
Then i started freshly Installation in DC and Exchange server 2013 successfully installed
URL http://servername/ecp/default.aspx
Whole Process will be here

Need Acrobat Distiller but it is end of life, need a replacement product to run on windows 2012

Need Acrobat Distiller but it is end of life, need a replacement product to run on windows 2012. I have one software application 'Transform' that only needs to convert files to pdf and email to users.
Which Adobe product runs on windows 2012 that will replace Distiller?

Distiller is one of the programs available in the Acrobat Suite of programs. You must have an older version if it is at end of life. Do you have Distiller or Distiller Server. Distiller Server has been replaced by a LiveCycle Server product.

Fresh install of Exchange Server 2013 on Windows Server 2012 R2 Blank screen after install

Attempting to log in to the OWA I get a white screen immediately after entering credentials
When I open the Exchange Management Shell I get the error
+ New-PSSession -ConnectionURI "$connectionUri" -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Excha ...
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : OpenError: (System.Manageme....RemoteRunspace:RemoteRunspace) [New-PSSession], PSRemotin
gTransportException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : AccessDenied,PSSessionOpenFailed
Along with the above error it also says Access is denied
Im running the Exchange shell as admin
There were no errors during the install and I did everything according to the Exchange Server Deployment Assistant
At first when I attempted to log in it would say my credentials were incorrect
This is part of a active directory set up and I fulfilled all of the active directory piece.

Hi,
According your post, I understand that open EMS with error “AccessDenied,PSSessionOpenFailed” after fresh install Exchange 2013.
If I misunderstand your concern, please do not hesitate to let me know.
Please follow below steps for troubleshooting:
1. Reboot the server, usually fixes this error.
2. Make sure your authentication settings on your virtual directory for PowerShell is correct.
Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager, <Servername>, Sites, Default Web Site, PowerShell and in the right panel, scroll down to the Authentication module, then make sure that Anonymous access is disabled and Windows Authentication is
enabled.
3. Double check the configuration of HTTP binding on Default Web Site in Internet Information Services (IIS).
4. Run Get-User Identity | FL *power* to check whether the current logged in user has remote powershell enabled.
If the issue persists, please try to remove the PowerShell virtual directory and renew for testing.
Additional, I find an similar thread about your question, for your reference:

Install Exchange 2010 Sp3 on Windows 2012 R2

Dear All,
From Microsoft Exchange support matrix, I can tell that Exchange 2010 Sp3 is not listed on supported page. However when I run the setup, the prerequisite setup check, dose not list any warnings or issues with the setup, all check are green. Is it possible
that the support OS matrix has not been updated? Is Exchange 2010 Sp3 supported on Windows 2012 R2?
http://blogs.technet.com/b/rmilne/archive/2013/09/17/exchange-support-for-windows-server-2012-r2.aspx
Thank you

The prerequisite check is checking that the required Windows components are installed. Exchange 2010 is still not supported on Windows Server 2012 R2.

Unable to connect Windows server 2003 to windows 2012

Hi, I am using Windows server 2012 R2 as DC, server 2012 R2 as Member server with DHCP role and another serer 2003 ENT as Dhcp server.
I am trying fail-over on server 2012 and server 2003. but when I am trying to authorize the DHCP on server 2003 its stating that it cannot contact DC. Where I checked DC its working fine. Server 2003 is able to ping dc with name and IP as well.
Thanks in advance...

I do believe the technology for failover DHCP is different in 2012R2 and 2003.
In Windows Server 2003 -
"To host the DHCP server on a Windows Failover Cluster, the DHCP database needs to be hosted on a shared storage accessible to both nodes of a cluster in addition to the deployment of the cluster itself. DHCP servers running on each node of the
cluster operate on the same DHCP database hosted on the shared storage..."
In Windows Server 2012 -
The servers does not need to have a central DB, they make use of a replication technique to ensure both DBs are kept constant and up to date.

Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 and Windows 8 Compatibility

Is there a fix or workaround for accessing email via Outlook 2013 (Windows 8) when your company uses Microsoft exchange server 2003 and has not plans on upgrading it any time soon. I am a remote employee so I am the only one that has this problem in the
company. I can access email through an owa account but it's a pain. I tried to set up a rule to have all incoming mail forwarded to my gmail account in Outlook 2013, but that did not work. Any other ideas?

If server has enabled ActiveSync you can use Windows 8 Mail Client - works almost like Outlook.
AFAIR Outlook 2013 can't work with Exchange 2003.

Based on my knowledge, Windows Installer 5.0 is not supported for Exchange 2010 SP3. Windows Installer 4.5 is supported for Exchange 2010 SP3.

Hi Ed,
Thanks a bunch for your quick response
I've been practicing different scenarios in a test environment. I'm using TechNet Subscription downloads which, to my knowledge, have Exchange 2010 with SP1 only available. That's what I'm using.
I got over this first error by 'Not checking the box for Automatically install Roles & features required for Exchange'.
Then it would not install the mailbox role. Found an article that referred to modifying the registry. The installation proceeded normally after modifying the registry as per the following article:
http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/office/Exchange-2010-SP1-SP2-c939e791
Now, when I start EMC, it connects to the server and shows my server name; however, there are no options available under it. I still have it as 120 day trial version. Do I need to add the product key before I would have access? (I didn't think
so) I can't add key through EMC because no options available.
Can you please suggest a resolution to this problem?
Thank you so much for your support.
Best regards,
Parm :)

IPV6 clients cannot ping each other while getting IP from DHCP server running in windows 2008

I have two windows 7 clients and a windows 2008 server connected to a switch with static IP 172:16:5::1/64.
DHCP server is configured with static IP 172:16:5::20/64
when i statically assign IP to windows 7 clients like 172:16:5::21 & ::22, they can ping each other. if they get ip from DHCP server, they cannot ping each other.
if i configure the gateway (172:16:5::1) in the clients manually, they can ping each other.
is there any way we can make dhcp server to give gateway to the clients along with IP?

From what I have gathered:
IPv6 won't route because the DHCP server is setup in 'stateless' mode and the switches do not support IPv6. (
"But if your routers are not IPv6 supported (yet), you can
reconfigure DHCPv6 to Disable Stateless mode, and that'll issue IPv6 addresses that
will eliminate the Ping problem." -
http://www.networkworld.com/article/2228461/microsoft-subnet/setting-up-dhcpv6-to-dynamically-issue-ipv6-addresses-in-a-network.html)
So you must change to 'disable stateless' mode. Which the only way I can THINK to do this is to uninstall DHCP and reinstall DHCP and select 'disable stateless' during the installation (which I haven't confirmed). (In
case, “Disable DHCPv6 stateless mode for this server” option was selected duringrole installation" -
http://blogs.technet.com/b/teamdhcp/archive/2009/03/03/dhcpv6-understanding-of-address-configuration-in-automatic-mode-and-installation-of-dhcpv6-server.aspx)
zz.. but my understanding of DHCP is fragmented, please take what I find with a grain of salt. I am off to reinstall DHCP :] .. fun.

Are there any instructions available on how to setup a Firefox update server that can automatically download updates from the Mozilla site and users can then grab the updates from the internal server? I'm using wampserver so that I can utilize Apache and PHP on the 2012 server.
Thanks!
