Removing Exchange 2007 hub server
Hi, my company has last remaining hub 2007 server while the rest is already migrated to Hub 2010 servers. All hub servers subscribed to Edge 2007 servers. i have issue when i want to remove last hub 2007 servers with error like "This
computer is configured as a source transport server for 1 connector(s) in the organization. These must be moved or deleted before Setup can continue". i read other post that i need to remove 'send connectors' from hub 2007. Do i need to remove
edge subscriptions too in hub 2007 server ? If i remove send and egde subscription from hub 2007 server, is it the action will impact the hub 2010 servers ?
2nd question, let say if i want to remove edge server, do i need to re-create send and receive connectors in hub 2010 servers?
If you are removing edge servers, you need to configure your systems so that Internet email bypasses them (in both directions). In answer to your #2 above, your send and receive connectors have to be configured for this
before you remove the edge servers. Whether you create new ones or modify existing ones for this depends on how the rest of your architecture is designed. Once this is done, you can remove your edge subscriptions and uninstall your
edge servers.

Exchange 2007 HUB Server Faulting application edgetransport.exe
Hello,
I'm having wired problem with my Exchange Server "Hub transport". it keeps queuing the mails and SMTP Gateway unable to send them to the Exchange HUB Server.
Environment:
Exchange Mailbox Role on separate server
Exchange HUB/CAS on separate server
IMSS Trend Micro as Edge SMTP Transport Server.

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.

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.Hi ,
Thank you for posting your issue in the forum.
I am trying to involve someone familiar with this topic to further look at this issue. There might be some time delay. Appreciate your patience.
Thank you for your understanding and support.

Exchange 2007 edge server with ironport
I currently have a frontend exch 2003 and backend exch 2003 server with ironport. my mx record is the ironport which then forwards into the backend server. The frontend server was only used for owa and using outlook with https connection to exchange.
With 2007 it has more functionality and the front end server is now called an edge server. Should I have mx go there then to ironport or vice versa? I'm thinking ironport to edge server to hub transport server. Is that correct? will it work?
anyone have exchange 2007 edge server with ironport? what are you doing?well that wouldve been nice to know a little earlier. anyway I have ironport successfully sending mail to the edge server who sends it on to the hub transport server. right now the client access server is on the same as the hub but can be easily moved later. this is for very few people so its not like I need to off load anything as its a powerful dual core server. anyway now with the edge server I can test how effective it is versus the ironport. I'll let everyone know when you can ditch the ironport for msft's edge server. (Don't hold your breath).

Remove Exchange 2007 from an Exchange 2013 coexistence.
Hey everyone,
I've just installed Exchange 2013 on a new server and all is working great. It is currently in coexistence with our old Exchange 2007 server. I've since shut the server down and Exchange 2013 has been working without issue. However, I haven't
been able to find any articles on this matter so I figured I would ask the question here.
How do you remove Exchange 2007 from the coexistence. Do I just uninstall Exchange 2007 from the old server and it will remove itself from the server and the domain? Any help/link on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
ChrisHi Simon,
I am about to do the same exercise as Chris, I just would like some clarity.
1) When you say mailbox Database, do you mean make sure there are no more mailboxes that you want to move over, or are you actually meaning delete the physical DB on the exchange 2007 server.
2) If there is no use of public folders does anything need to happen?
Thanks,

Hi,
I just moved all mailboxes from exchange 2007 to Office 365 with Exchange 2010 Hybrid setup. I believe that all local Exchange 2007 contact list and Distribution Group are syncing from Dirsyc tool. It is no migration for this type object. From now, we will
decide to remove Exchange 2007 from network. What we need to do before to safety remove the Exchange 2007 Server ?
thanks
KeithHi Keith,
Agree with both MAS and Gulab Prasad.
Please shut down Exchange 2007 and monitor whether the new environment works well.
Then, please remove Exchange 2007 from a server by using Setup Wizard. Details to see:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb123893(EXCHG.80).aspx
(Optional) Last, remove the Exchange 2007 administrative group by using ADSIEdit. The Exchange 2007 administrative group is called
Exchange Administrative Group (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT)

Demoting and Removing Exchange 2007 Server
Oh, I mistakenly saw 2003, and I thought you were removing Exchange 2003. My bad.
Run the uninstaller on the old system. It will take care of the rest. It will probably error out and give you reasons, clean up the reasons and run the uninstaller again. Once it's uninstalled properly, then you can power off the server and everything should be good. Don't forget your send connectors. I forgot that in my travels once.At one of our locations we recently migrated all exchange mailboxes to a new Exchange 2007 on new OS platform, moving away from Server 2003. Everything to my knowledge has been migrated, users should be all connecting to new server, all connector headends have been updated, etc. As a test, I shutdown the old Exchange server (without uninstalling) but we ran into issues that day with Outlook constantly (every 5-10 minutes) asking for the user's password, slow loading of folder data, etc.; reboots/application restarts did not resolve. We turned the old Exchange server back on and all is now well. My theory is this is due to the schema still containing info about the old Exchange server. If I uninstall Exchange completely, thus removing it form schema, could I expect to have this issue resolved? Obviously I only get one chance on this, so...

Removing Exchange 2007 Server from Management Console List
Hello,
We have an organization with a single Exchange 2007 Server running in production. It is working fine.
However, we brought up another server (we'll call it the secondary server for purposes of this thread) and linked it into this organization several months ago. Our plans for this box changed and we have kept it powered off, unlicensed, and unused.
Now, when we manage our production server, the management console keeps complaining about how the secondary server is almost at the end of its trial period, needs licensed, etc.
Since we might or might not use the secondary server in the future, it is possible to "unlink" it (or set it dormant somehow) from the server list to stop the license warnings? Or is our only recourse to remove Exchange and take it down if we don't
intend to license it and bring it into production? Our hope is that it can wait in the wings until such time as we decide to user & license it.
What are the implications if we ignore the license warnings and continue not to use it? Will it impact management of the production server at all or just continue to annoy?
TIA, Tom W.
JTWHello,
"What are the implications if we ignore the license warnings and continue not to use it? Will it impact management of the production server at all or just continue to annoy?"
You should have all production servers licensed but after trial period expiration the server will have all Exchange capabilities and features. Also trial period expiration should not have any negative impact on your environment. The EMC will simply prompt
to license that server correctly.
"Our plans for this box changed and we have kept it powered off, unlicensed, and unused."
In my opinion it is bad idea to have Exchange server installed but powered off. Note that this server still resides as object in Active Directory and it may complicate any future modifications of your environment (migration to newer versions of Exchange
etc.). I think you should use this server to provide some kind of high availability (and provide proper license for it) or remove it completely.
Once again: trial expiration is not a problem from server's functionality perspective, Exchange server powered down - it can be a problem. -
Decommission Exchange 2007 Mailbox Server from Cluster
Hi! I realize this is an Exchange 2013 forum, however as I do not see any forums for older flavors of Exchange I'm going to post this here. If a better forum exists please let me know and I'll happily move to that forum for my answers.
I am just finishing a migration from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013. In the Exchange 2007 environment I have 2 CCR Mailbox Clusters. While working to decommission the first of the two clusters I successfully evicted the passive node, however
I mistakenly evicted the active node rather than removing it by running the Exchange Setup Wizard as outlined in the TechNet article "How to Remove the Active Mailbox Role from a CCR Environment".
Now, when attempting to uninstall Exchange 2007 using the Setup Wizard in Add/Remove Program I get the following error during the prerequisite check for the 'Mailbox Role':
Error:
Exchange server FQDN was not found. Please make sure you have typed it correctly."
Setup then completes.
Is there a way to cleanly uninstall Exchange 2007 and clean-up Active Directory?
Thanks!Hi Jesse,
Thank you for your question.
We could run “ADsiedit.msc” in run, then navigate
Configuration [<domainController>.contoso.com]> CN=Configuration,DC=contoso,DC=com> CN=Services> CN=Microsoft Exchange> CN=<OrganizationName> CN=Administrative Group> CN=Exchange Administrative Group>CN=Server
We could check if mailbox server is existed in this container, we could remove it.
Notice: Before we remove it, we could make a backup for AD database. We suggest you call MS engineer for help.
If there are any questions regarding this issue, please be free to let me know.
Best Regard,
Jim

Keep exchange 2007 Hub transport & CAS during migration to Exchange 2010
Hello,
during a migration from exchange 2007 to exchange 2010 is it supported to keep the old exchange 2007HUB and CAS in charge of the outside mail flow (send/receive) and OWA service.
Here is the scenario :
Actual OWA url : https : // webmail . compagnie . com (2007)
Future OWA url : https : // owa . compagnie . com 2010)
Keep the old url accessible for the users which have not be migrated to the new exchange 2010 MBX server.
Indicate to the migrated users to use the new url instead of the old one.
Keep the old hub transport server (2007) handle the mail flow (send/receive) to the outside.
At the end, when all the users will be migrated, configure the new 2010 Hub/cas to handle the mail flow (send/receive) to the outside.
Thanks a lot for your answers.
DavidThanks for your answers.
So if I have understood right, the only thing I have to take care about (in order to let the 2007 cas/hub server handle the external mail flow (on which the MX is bind) until all mailboxes are migrated) is to add the 2010 cas/hub server in :
Organization Configuration ---> send connector ---> Actual 2007 send connector --> Source server
Thanks a lot.
David
That will take care of the outbound message flow, yes.

How to decomission a Exchange 2007 Mailbox server
Hello,
We are running Exchange 2007 SP3 servers. We currently have a Mailbox server we want to decommission. I'd like help on how to achieve this. I want to make sure that all mailboxes have been moved from that server and remove the Public Folder database as well.
I understand that the Public Folders needs to stop replicating to this server, can someone please guide me on how to do that?
All kinds of help are appreciated. Thanks!For the public folder stuff, see these scripts: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa997966(v=exchg.141).aspx
The system folders can be replicated with the '\non_ipm_subtree' identifier, but some system folders are per-server and don't need to replicate. OAB distribution however
is one that might matter.

Remove Exchange 2007 from AD (manually)
In the lab I had Exchange 2007 running and someone pulled my VM. It's not the end of the world because I'm done with what I was doing in 2007 however I've got other things running in the lab and I'd rather not rebuild the domain.
Does anyone know what the process would be to clean up AD (remove the Exchange org) without having the Exchange server to do an uninstall on? Can I Install the Exchange admin console on another box and than remove the mail attributes from the accounts that has them and just remove the Exchange Systems Object container in AD or is there more?
ErikI did run into one problem while trying to install RTM:

Can't connect to Exchange 2007 SP2 server
When I try and set up a new Exchange account to our internal Exchange 2007 server I get the following error message:
"The Exchange Server '<server name>' doesn't have the minimum required version installed. To use Mail with Exchange, the server must be running Update Rollup 4 for Exchange Server 2007 Service Pack 1 or later. Contact your server administrator.'
in spite of Service Pack 2 being installed on the server.
Exchange Web Services are running as expected at the URL '/EWS/Exchange.asmx'.
If anyone has suggestion on how to diagnose the exact problem I would very much appreciate the assistance.
N.Hello,
I don't have any ideas yet but can chime in with "me too".
A customer has an Exchange 2003 SP2 server (MS Server 2003 for SBS). It has a self-signed SSL certificate that does not expire until June 2011.
One user has some species of Blackberry that can pick up his email (but not contacts or calendar) via OWA. I can see his accesses in the IIS log and they are coming from IP addresses resolving to (stuff).bise.na.blackberry.com and are not getting 404's.
Another user is trying to set up his new Blackberry via BIS. His accesses in the IIS log are coming from different IP addresses that resolve to (stuff).bis.ap.blackberry.com and these are getting 404's.
An ExpertsExchange.com article - http://www.experts-exchange.com/Software/Server_Software/Web_Servers/Microsoft_IIS/Q_22806090.html - suggested putting the full email address into the OWA URL. This works fine in a browser but not in BIS. I still get the same error message from BIS and 404's in the IIS log.
