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.

Hello,
"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.

I have a problem connecting to my company exchange 2007 server from my IPAD2 the same settings worked with the IPAD1

Hi All
Can anybody help with this problem when trying to authenticate on the Microsoft Exchange Sever.
I have been trying to connect the mail client on the IPAD2 to my company email (Exchange 2007 server)
There appears to be an issue with the SSL settings for the IPAD 2 and Apples new OS
I know that it’s not supported but I also know that the previous version of the IPAD worked fine using the same settings.
Just to confirm I can access the email via Safari therefore I know that the Public Key is loaded in the web browser.
Can anyone confirm that the Public Key has been installed on the IPAD 2 email client?
Is there anyway to edit the SSL settings?
Thanks in advance fro your help
Regards
Pat

Try using Static IP and force a connection.
You can get the settings from your other devices that are connected to the router.

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...

DS XI3.2 SP1 - Problem when starting RFC server from management console

Hi,
We're using DataServices XI 3.2 SP1 FP1 on a windows 2008 server 64bits to load SAP BW. We have set up an external system in SAP BW called "DI_SOURCE" and then successfully created a RFC server interface (DI_SOURCE) within the management console.
When we try to start this RFC server from the management console, we immediately get the following error message : "An internal error occurred in: server.start()::rfc_bad_connection".
On the other hand, when we follow the "old method" (pre SP2) and start the RFC server from a command window, it works : we have "CONNECTION DI_SOURCE OK" in SAP BW.
Any ideas how to solve this ?
Thanks,
Olivier

Hi,
We have tried your suggestions above.
Instead of just crashing we now get an error from designer (before closing down). Seems as if our librfc32.dll has a problem.
We have verified that the librfc32.dll from the Data Services package is the only one on the server.

How do I remove an unwanted server from the console window?

Hi all, hope someone can help, as I'm rapidly running out of hair to pull out :-(
I have one upstream server, set up perfectly on Windows Server 2012, and six downstream servers all running Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise. Five of my downstreams are set up and working as expected, but one is behaving a little strangely.
Here is an example of one of my downstream servers which is configured correctly:
Just showing the upstream server, as you would expect.
Now here's my problem downstream server:
As you can see, not only does it list the upstream server, as expected, it also shows itself as a server. I have tried right-clicking it and choosing 'Remove from Console', but it just comes back after closing and reopening the console.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated,
Carl...

On all downstream servers, except ServerDOWN4 only the ServerUP01 is seen in the WSUS console. On ServerDOWN4, you can see ServerUP01 and ServerDOWN04 in the WSUS console.
Is this normal?
No, and the short answer here is that apparently the consoles were configured to connect to the wrong server, and on 'DOWN4', TWO servers were configured in the console.
But here's a more significant question....
Why, on WS2012 and WS2008R2 servers are you using the standalone console anyway? If you use
SERVER MANAGER, which is the expected behavior, the *LOCAL* server will be automatically displayed.

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.

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.

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,
Chris

Hi 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,
Terry

Starting Managed Server from Administration Console

Hi
I am new for SOA and fusion. Can anyone share the brief steps that are needed to start/stop a Managed Server from Admin Console.
I did a fresh install on RHEL5 and configure a domain. i was able to start the services from script which are created when creating a domain.
But when i assigned a Managed Server to a Node Manager and try starting the Managed server. It does not start and in the log i can see exceptions like below
Failed to invoke startup class "JPS Startup Class", java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: oracle.security.jps.wls.JpsWlsStartupClass
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException
Failed to invoke startup class "ODL-Startup", java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: oracle.core.ojdl.weblogic.ODLConfiguration
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException
I start the services in below order
Weblogic Server
node Manager
and
soa_server
Thanks

you must set to true the StartScriptEnabled property in nodemanager.properties

Remove Exchange 2007

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
Keith

Hi 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)

Errors Decommissioning Exchange 2007 Server

We are attempting to decommission an Exchange 2007 Server (single server). We have already gotten 2010 set up, installed, mailboxes moved and public folders moved. We went through and removed the replicas on the old server as well as removing the mailbox
database and public folder database.
From this point we are attempting to Uninstall Exchange 2007 using either the Wizard or through cmd using setup.com /mode:uninstall after navigating to the Bin folder in the Exchange server. Each time however, we get the same error regardless of how we are
doing it.
We uncheck all roles, hit Next, and it fails during the Readiness Check within 10 seconds on each role (Mailbox, Client Access, Hub Transport) each time saying: 'An error occurred while running the test. The Computer may be out of Memory, or the XML files
have been modified. Parameter name: ConfigurationFileLocation'
I've gone through using ADSI Edit and removed the server from the Configuration>Services>SiteDomain>Administrative Groups>Exchange Administrative Groups>Servers
and it was none existent in the Databases section.
Even after all of these steps I'm still getting the error about the memory or XML file issue. Is there a way to replace the XML files with 'clean' ones or a way to repair the existing ones? I'm just simply wanting to uninstall it at this point.
Thanks!

Hi,
From your description, I would like to clarify the following things:
1. It is not recommended to uninstall Exchange server in ADSIEdit.
2. The above error indicates that one of the xml files is corrupted, you need to re-download it for troubleshooting.
Hope my clarification can be helpful to you.

Exchange 2007 server problems

Hello everyone,
I am having some trouble with our Exchange 2007.
Since some days ago I am having extrange troubles with out Exchange 2007 server. Users are been asked to write their user and password very oftenly, and I don't know the reason. Additionaly I have realised the OAB is not downloading properly in any Outlook
client. If I try to do it I am given an error number0x8004010F
I have been checking exhange server 2007 event viewer and I found a 80040115 error saying OALGen found an error accessing public folders while trying to generate OAL
Another error comes out inmediately after saying to check if Public folder store is mounted and there are replicas of Address Lists folders.
Another event viewer error says there was a problema trying to update availability information for the public folder in the virtual machine NAMESERVER
We have other 3 Exchange 2003 servers which I cannot remove because of an application we are using, accessing to them. As long as I know public flders are stored in Exchange 2007 server and not replicated in any other server, so I don't know if this has
something to do with the error.
Any idea of what might be going on?
Thank you very much.
Best regards,
David.

I know I'm not addressing your direct issue, but at this point you need to seriously be looking at removing all Exchange 2003 boxes. Exchange 2003 has left extended support:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/rmilne/archive/2013/10/08/save-the-date-end-of-exchange-2003-support-t-minus-6-months.aspx
What exactly is it with this app that causes it to lock on to 2003 only?

Treo 755p can't sync w/Exchange 2007 Server - AirSAMStateMachine.c 1913 14594

We recently migrated to an Exchange 2007 server and would like our phones to start using ActiveSync. All our Windows Mobile phones have no problem at all. However, we have two users who have the Treo 755p (running Palm OS), and they can't synch.
After some research I believe this is likely an SSL issue, and so I tried downloading the Palm Certificates Tool and uploading the root cert (GoDaddy whom issues us the cert that we use on our Exchange server), but that didn't work. I tried the actual cert issues to us, and a bunch of other combos, nothing works. The error is the same on both phones. Disabling the SSL in the settings simply gives us another error: AirSAMStateMachine.c 1913 4682
Any ideas? Maybe I'm uploading the SSL certs wrong?
Post relates to: Treo 755p (Sprint)

I wouldn't give up so soon. Imag here. Part time Exhange Admin, snowboarder, and denture wearer.
Your IT crew may have installed the SSL certificate correctly, and then again, maybe not. I've seen a few 2007 migrations that have missed some crucial steps that are fairly easy to fix. And given the symptoms you're seeing, it sounds like they missed something (left the default self-signed exchange cert enabled - oopsie-dah)
Check with your IT staff and ensure they IMPORTED and ENABLED the SSL cert using the Exchange Management Shell. If they applied it via IIS console, that may be the problem right there. With luck, we can debunk and put an end to this godaddy panic. Tell your admin they can PM me for additional details if they need any.

Exfolders.exe tool crashes on Exchange 2007 server

I've downloaded Exfolders.exe and I'm trying to run it on my Exchange 2007 server but it crashes everytime. I get an APPCRASH with a fault module name of kernel32.dll
http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/Exchange-2010-RTM-<//wbr>ExFolders-c76c3649
I followed all the instructions step by step.
How do I fix this?

Hi,
You didn't see this information?
ExFolders must be run from an
Exchange 2010 server - it cannot be run from a workstation as PFDAVAdmin could. It can connect to Exchange 2010 or Exchange 2007, but not older versions.
PFDavAdmin is the tool to use on Exchange 2007
