Removing Exchange 2007 from SBS 2008 (In an Exchange 2010 Coexistance Scenario) - In order to remove 2007 Mailbox Objects from Active Directory and remove the SBS2008 server completely

I'm trying to remove Exchange 2007 from an SBS 2008 server
(Server 2008 Standard FE). My ultimate goal is to completely remove the SBS 2008 Server from the network environment.
We have an Exchange 2010 Coexistence Scenario and Mailboxes/Public Folders/etc have been moved over to the 2010 mail server, on Server 2008 R2.
I have moved all Shares, FSMO roles, DHCP, DNS, etc over to their respective servers. We have two full blown DC's in the environment.
I'm ready to remove Exchange 2007 from SBS 2008 and DCPROMO the server. I can NOT seem to find a TechNet article that shows me how
to proceed in this kind of scenario. I am trying to use the TechNet article:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd728003(v=ws.10).aspx
This article references Disabling Mailboxes, Removing OAB, Removing Public Folder Databases, then uninstalling Exchange using the Setup Wizard.
When I go to Disable Mailboxes I get the following error:
Microsoft Exchange Error
Action 'Disable' could not be performed on object 'Username (edited)'.
Username (edited)
Failed
Error:
Object cannot be saved because its ExchangeVersion property is 0.10 (14.0.100.0), which is not supported by the current version 0.1 (8.0.535.0). You will need a later version of Exchange.
OK
I really don't see why I need to Disable Mailboxes, Remove OAB and Public Folder Databases since they have been moved to 2010. I just want
to remove Exchange 2007 and DCPROMO this server (actually I just want to remove any lingering Exchange AD Objects referring to the SBS 2008 Server, using the easiest and cleanest method possible).
Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks!

Hi,
Based on your description, it seems that you are in a migration process (migrate SBS 2008 to Windows Server
2008 R2). Now, you want to remove Exchange Server and demote server. If anything I misunderstand, please don’t hesitate to let me know.
On current situation, please refer to following articles and check if can help you.

Upgrading from SBS 2008 and Exchange Server 2007 and Adding Modest Failover Protection

I haven't seen anyone describe this scenario, so maybe it can't be done, but it seems it should work. Can someone either confirm this is viable or set me straight and tell me it's not wise (and if not, why not).
I currently have SBS 2008 (2008 Server + Exchange Server 2007 + some other components). I use redirected folders so all my user data is stored primarily on the server, and then sync'd with their local harddrives for roaming use and as an additional
backup precaution. I want to upgrade to a modern version of Exchange (don't care too much about the underlying server OS, but seems like a good time to upgrade everything). I also want to improve the reliability for rapid recovery in the event of a system
failure. I have always felt nervous with SBS because it only runs on a single server.
My plan is:
Install Windows Server 2012 Standard on a new server machine
Join that new server to the existing SBS domain and sync the users, etc.
Install Exchange Server 2013 on the new 2012 Server
Migrate the existing Exchange data and account info to the new server
Demote the SBS Server and promote the new server to primary DC
Reformat the old SBS server and install Windows Server 2012 on it too, and join it to the domain as a second DC
Set up DFS Replication and keep all my user data folders between the two servers (so if one server fails, the other can take over, just not automatically like with a cluster)
Install Exchange Server 2013 on the reformatted 2012 Server box (so second instance on the domain) and set it up to sync with the first Exchange Server 2013 via DAG (so if either computer crashes, the other can take over for both Exchange Server and file
services)
Wouldn't that give me a complete slow-response failover system without the need for setting up a cluster (I know a cluster would provide instant failover protection, but I don't need that kind of speed - a manual switchover in the rare event of a server
failure is acceptable for us)? I could do this using cheap hardware for each server, because unless both servers fail at the same time, clients can point to the other server. And because it's not a formal cluster, I don't need to buy anything for a shared
SAN. This seems like such an obvious more cost-effective solution for a small network, I don't understand why this isn't a common approach, which makes me wonder if there is some reason it won't work.
Any suggestions or feedback? Are Redirected Folders still recommended for users on a Server 2012-based domain?
Thanks,
Colin
Colin

Ed, thanks again for your help. OK, so here's my updated plan (I realize I should probably check on some of these pieces on the Server group, instead of this Exchange group).
Constraints/objectives:
None of the machines are truly server grade hardware, but only 5 people on the network, so performance is generally not an issue, unless a given server is just pegged on CPU or HD due to its own internal maintenance tasks and can't respond to user requests.
Haven't seen any problems, since upgrading server from 4GB RAM to 8GB a few years ago.
Not going to buy any new hardware at this time, but do have several unused consumer-grade computers I can deploy as wimpy or moderate servers.
Main issue is to limit repair time in the event of a system failure (instant failover is not required, but want to be able to restore network functions within less than 24 hours in the event of a hardware failure) and minimize time spent on IT
maintenance.
Because of light IT maintenance (not anyone's primary job and we're too small to justify a dedicated IT person or to pay for outside help), almost every touch takes me research and time to re-learn what I haven't done in weeks, months, or years -- so also
want to keep all IT tasks as simple as possible.
We philosophically want to invest now for the next 5 years and avoid ongoing cloud fees (so zero interest in Windows Server Essentials with Exchange Online)
A little nervous about using VM's, just because I never have before, but I do respect that's probably the right way to do many of these things...
Currently I have SBS 2008 (Windows Server 2008 R2, Exchange Server 2007, WSUS 3, all with latest SP's, also includes SharePoint and other stuff, but I don't really care about most of it) on a single 8GB consumer grade system, which functions as a file
server and Exchange server. We use Redirected Folders and Offline files for all users, which works great for us and provides additional file redundancy (if server goes down, all of each user's files are also on their own machine and they can even continue
to work just fine w/o the server, losing only ability to send and receive e-mail). It has been sufficient, but I want to upgrade our version of Exchange and I am nervous that if that current one server fails, it would take me a long time to restore everything
from backup, easily many days, especially if I need to buy any replacement hardware. It is RAID1, so a single drive failure is easy to handle, but that's the only hardware redundancy for the current server.
New Plan:
Install Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard on a new modest machine (16GBR RAM, Core i7, 1TB RAID1 (may upgrade to 3 or 4 TB), 256 GB SSD boot drive, this had been my old personal computer)
Join that new server to the existing SBS domain (2008 R2/Exchange 2007), make it a DC, sync the users, etc.
Install Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard on a wimpy computer (4GB RAM Core i3 processor), leave it as a member server
Install Exchange Server 2013 on the wimpy new 2012 R2 Server (and nothing else, this will be dedicated to Exchange to make the most of such a wimpy machine)
Migrate the existing Exchange data from the old SBS Exchange 2007 server and account info to the new server
(or should I just create new accounts and copy the data from the user end through Outlook -- is that safer and cleaner than attempting any kind of server-level Exchange data migration?)
Demote the old SBS Server and promote the new 16GB server to primary DC. Now it's OK to take the old SBS server off the network.
Reformat the old SBS server and install Windows Server 2012 R2 on it too, and join it to the domain as a second DC (and possibly DCPROMO it to be the main server)
Install Exchange Server 2013 in a VM on the reformatted 2012 R2 Server box (so second instance on the domain for Exchange redundancy) and set it up to sync with the first Exchange Server 2013 via DAG OR set up another physical wimpy member server and install
it there. In any case, do NOT install Exchange directly on either DC.
Set up DFS Replication or a Failover Cluster (still need to research this, but I had planned on DFS, thinking Cluster required shared drive, but Ed corrected me on this) between the two DC's for redirected files and keep all my user data folders between
the two servers. We don't need automatic failover, like with a cluster, a manual switch would be acceptable, but if no additional cost or risk to clustering the two DC's, then the auto-failover protection that provides would be better than DFS.
I think this incorporates all of your points, Ed. Does this sound right now? What's your advice on #5 (how to best migrate user data)?
Thanks so much for all your help,
Colin

Unrecognized certificate when Outlook 2010 tries to connect to Exchange 2007 on SBS 2008

Hi all,
I believe this is a security issue rather than a connectivity or configuration problem.
Running Outlook 2010 on Windows 7 trying to connect to Exchange 2007 on SBS 2008, I receive the following error:
"The name of the security certificate is invalid or does not match the name of the site"
When I view the certificate I see that it was issued to "zx-server" by "zx". This is NOT my domain CA nor is it a certificate I recognize. I use a self-issued certificate (i.e. issued by the SBS box). I also receive this certificate error when I browse to
the internal website (companyweb). No other computers on the network are seeing this behaviour.
I have checked the certificate stores in certmgr and I can't find any such certificate or CA. I have also searched the entire hard drive with no luck. I have run Kaspersky AV, Malwarebytes and MS Security Essentials several times but I can't find any malware.
I also recently installed Comodo Firewall (the problem began after this).
I need to find and remove the certificate and prevent it from being presented to me every time I try to connect to the server. All help, advice and suggestions appreciated.

Hi,
It’s really a common issue.
This issue occurs if the following conditions are true:
You replace the default self-signed Exchange Server 2007 or Exchange Server 2010 certificate with a different certificate.
Note The Setup program in Exchange Server 2007 or in Exchange Server 2010 creates a default self-signed certificate when Exchange Server 2007 or Exchange Server 2010 is installed.
The common name on the replacement certificate does not match the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the URL that is stored in the following objects:
o
The Service Connection Point object for the Autodiscover service
o
The
InternalUrl attribute of Exchange 2007 Web Service (EWS)
o
The
InternalUrl attribute of the Offline Address Book Web service
o
The
InternalUrl attribute of the Exchange unified messaging (UM) Web service
By default, the URL that is stored in these objects references the NetBIOS name of the server. For example, a URL that resembles the
following URL is stored:
https://NetBIOS_name.contoso.com/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml
This may differ from the host name that is used in the FQDN of the replacement certificate. For example, the replacement certificate
may have an FQDN that resembles the following FQDN:
mail.contoso.com
This issue causes a name mismatch error to occur. Therefore, you receive the security warning message when you try to connect Outlook
2007 to the mailbox.
For more detailed information about the procedures to fix the issue, please refer to the following KB article:
Title: Security warning when you start Outlook 2007 and then connect to a mailbox
that is hosted on a server that is running Exchange Server 2007 or Exchange Server 2010: "The name of the security certificate is invalid or does not match the name of the site"

Install Active Directory Domain Controller on Windows server 2008 enterprise, dont login on Sql Server 2008 R2

I install Active Directory Domain Controller on Windows server 2008 enterprise and dont login on Sql Server 2008 R2. Before install ADDC, I have logon SQL Server 2008r2 Success, After when i install ADDC is don't logon on SQL Server 2008r2 -->not success.
I have uninstalled ADDC but i still can't login on SQL server 2008r2.
please help me. it is very very disaster!
I think is loss account SQL server 2008r2!

Hello,
I stronly recommend you post the detail error message to us while you try to connect to SQL Server instance, it's useful for us to do further investigation.
Microsoft recommends that you do not install SQL Server 2008 R2 on a domain controller, there are some limitations:
You cannot run SQL Server services on a domain controller under a local service account or a network service account.
After SQL Server is installed on a computer, you cannot change the computer from a domain member to a domain controller. You must uninstall SQL Server before you change the host computer to a domain controller.
After SQL Server is installed on a computer, you cannot change the computer from a domain controller to a domain member. You must uninstall SQL Server before you change the host computer to a domain member.
SQL Server failover cluster instances are not supported where cluster nodes are domain controllers.
SQL Server Setup cannot create security groups or provision SQL Server service accounts on a read-only domain controller. In this scenario, Setup will fail.
On Windows Server 2003, SQL Server services can run under a domain account or a local system account.
So, I would suggest you try to open up Windows Services list and changed the account for SQL Server service.

Active Directory error message "the following object is not from a domain listed in the Select location forestB\username

Hello Community
    "forestA" is my forest it is a Windows 2008 Server Enterprise Edition
domain controller using Active Directory and the UI.
    In my forest ("forestA") trust relationship I created a "One-Way, Out-going"
forest trust with Forest-Wide authentication so that a different forest user(s) or
group(s) with a different admin in a forest named “forestB” can access the resources in my “forestA”
    But also forestB needs to create a "One-way, Incoming" forest trust so that
I can either add the user(s) or group(s) from “forestB” into to a "Global Security - Group"
in my "forestA" or I can
add user(s) as "domain user(s)" from “forestB” into my "forestA".
    The problem is that when I right click the global group in my forestA and then
properties, when I click "Members" and then the "Add" button when I type
"forestB\username" I get an error message from Active Directory stating:
    "the following object is not from a domain listed in the Select location
dialog box, and is therefore not valid: forestB\username".
    Am I doing something wrong when creating the one-way trust in my
“forestA” or is the one-way trust being created wrong by the other domain admin in the other “forestB”?
    Or could I possibly need to select "Change Domain" or "Change Domain Controller"
before adding the users or Groups to my forestA from forestB?
    That is why I am asking
how do you add an Active Directory user from one forest into another forest?
    Thank you
    Shabeaut

Hello Denis Cooper
    That is the end result.
    What I was trying to do was that I was trying to
bring in the user(s) and group(s) from “forestB” into
my “forestA” Global group.
    Later on I was going to add the user(s) or Global groups(s) that I brought into my dc in my forestA
into the domain local groups on my member servers in my forestA.
    So since the error message is:
"the following object is not from a domain listed in the Select location dialog box, and is therefore not valid: forestB\username".
Does your response
mean only Global group(s) from forestB not domain user(s) from forestB have
to been added to domain local groups in forestA?
Or is it also possible to add Global group(s) from “forestB” to Global group(s) in my “forestA” and if so
how without getting the above error message?
Thank you
    Shabeaut

It was not legitimately unlocked by the carrier it was originally locked to. ONLY the carrier it is locked to can authorize unlocking it.
In order to allow it to be used on a different carrier, the phone was hacked or jailbroken. An unauthorized modification was made to the phone. That modification has damaged the phone. You can not get support for it here or from Apple.

My 3G unlocked iPhone is not syncing mail or contacts from my mac book pro, using Lion. I am able to get a calendars and music, only. I get the message that I need to reset the password which I have done 3x's on the phone and on the Apple server.

Good to know that, but what can I do to get the mail and contacts downloaded from Icloud onto my Iphone? I am told that the password needs to be reset and I have erased and reset it 3x's already? Should I Restore All Settings or Restore Network Settings or will that result in a situation where I have to have it re-unlocked again? GRACIAS!

If you're not a developer then you really should not have upgraded.
I'm unsure how you can fix this as you have already done a back-up on iOS 7 and apple don't support firmware downgrades.

Removing Exchange 2007 from SBS 2008 after Migrating to Office 365 Mid Sized with DirSync and SSO

We have recently completed off a Migration of Exchange 2007 to Office 365 Mid Sized platform.
I now need to decomission the old SBS 2008 server as they have moved to a Windows Server 2012 R2 server setup for DC, File and print and application servers.
I need to know what are the ramifications of removing the Exchange 2007 server from the SBS 2008 server and will this remove the LegacyDN details from AD and cause any issues with internal emails between users using Outlook linked through to Office365.
I understand that after removing Exchange 2007 there will be no friendly GUI to update and maintain proxyAddress, targetAddress and LegacyDN addresses, I am comfortable doing this in ADSI edit or with a script.
Will this remove the x500 addresses relating to the on premise Exchange Orgainisation and just leave behind the x500 addresses for Exchange Labs which I assume is the x500 addresses for the Azure AD intergration for Office365.

Problem connecting to MS Exchange 2007 on SBS 2008

I am having problems connecting to Exchange via cfexchangeconnection. Our ColdFusion environment is CF9 Enterprise on Win 2008, and the Exchange host is Win SBS 2008 (which uses IIS7).
After having worked through the documentation and following all procedures outlined at
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ColdFusion/9.0/Developing/WSc3ff6d0ea77859461172e0811cbec14f31 -7fed.html
plus googling intensively, we have the following method to test the connection
<cfexchangeconnection action="open"
         connection="thisExchangeConnection"
         server="portal.mydomain.com"
         protocol="https"
         formBasedAuthentication="true"
         formBasedAuthenticationURL="https://portal.mydomain.com/owa/auth/owaauth.dll"
         mailboxname="myMailBox"
         username="myUsername"
         password="myPassword" />
<cfdump var="#thisExchangeConnection#">
<cfexchangeconnection action="close"
         connection="thisExchangeConnection" />
The IIS7 implementation in SBS 2008 is quite a lot different to Win 2008, so there are some question marks around some steps in the above documentation. However, we have made sure that:-
1) you can use the credentials above to login via a web browser
2) WebDav is on in IIS
3) there is no IWA and forms based authentication is on
4) certificates are installed correctly on both the CF and Exchange servers
5) the myUsernameaccount has correct permissions in iis/owa/exchange
Despite this, the net result is always
Access to the Exchange server denied.
Ensure that the user name and password are correct.
From research it seems that a lot of people have issues where the underlying problem is actually an Exchange 440 timeout error where the password in the IUSR_<servername> and IWAM_<servername> (IIS/Active Directory) is out of sync.
I was pinning my hopes on the above being the problem but now I find that in SBS 2008 there is no IWAM_<servername> server account.
All this leads me to ask is SBS 2008 actually compatible with the cfexchange tags in CF9? There is nothing in the documentation that I can find that syays that it isn't, but given the amount of time we've spent on what should be straightforward I am wondering if we are on a hiding to nothing. Anyone from Adobe care to comment?
If anyone has managed to get this to work specifically with SBS 2008, or has any advice I'd be grateful to here from you.

Upgrade exchange 2007 to exchange 2013 on SBS 2008

Hi,
I need to upgrade EX07 to EX13 on small business server 2008, So I am looking for the documents or steps which will help in Implementation.
Thanks in advance!
-av

Hi,
Any update about the issue?
In-place upgrade is not possible. According to the MS article:
When you're upgrading your existing Exchange 2007 organization to Exchange 2013, there's a period of time when Exchange 2007 and Exchange 2013 servers will coexist within your organization. You can maintain this mode for an indefinite period of time, or
you can immediately complete the upgrade to Exchange 2013 by moving all resources from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013, and then decommissioning the Exchange 2007 servers. You have a coexistence scenario if the following conditions are true:
Exchange 2013 is deployed in an existing Exchange organization.
More than one version of Microsoft Exchange provides messaging services to the organization

IIS SMTP instead of Exchange 2007 on SBS 2008

We have recently moved a client from Exchange 2007 on a 2008 Small Business Server over to Office 365. We would like to disable Exchange 2007 altogether in order to free up resources on an already overworked server. However, we have a couple of multifunction
devices that require an unauthenticated SMTP relay for email. I believe the easiest solution available to us is to enable SMTP in IIS and limit the relay to certain internal IPs. Assuming Exchange is fully disabled, would this be a viable solution? Given that
we are still running IIS internally, I would see this as a net gain in terms of system resources.

It is not possible.

Outlook 2010 Will Not Connect to Exchange 2007 on SBS 2008 Server

Good Morning,
I have a user who cannot connect to the exchange server on SBS 2008 with outlook 2010. When they start outlook, it shows disconnected and will not connect for a minimum of 20 minutes to an hour. Any suggestions on how to fix this would be appreciated.
I have rebuilt their profile, but that does not fix the issue.
Thank you,
Lee F.
Lee Feldman SMB Consultant

Hi,
Thanks for posting in the forum.
Regarding the current issue, since you have recreated the user profile without any issue, I suspect that it’s mainly caused by the network issue. At this time, please first check the TCP/IP
configurations as Larry mentioned. Then, please also refer to the article below for details about how to troubleshoot Outlook connectivity issue.
