Removing mailbox server from Exchange 2010 DAG - Node not fully cleaned up

Hi,
We are in the process of decommissioning some old Exchange 2010 servers. I have just attempted to remove one of our mailbox servers and have received a number of errors, related to its removal from the DAG.
I have already removed the Public Folder replicas and all mailbox database copies. I then tried to evict the server from the DAG and received the following warning:
I then ran the command that was recommended, from another server and in an administrative command prompt:
I have looked in this log on both the server I ran the command on, a CAS server, and the mailbox server itself and can see no evidence of this error 2 that is listed here.
If I run the Powershell command to look at the DAG I cannot see it there any more. I am assuming that this error message might only be an issue if I was planning on re-using this server somewhere else in Exchange or perhaps adding this server to another
DAG. But I just want to decommission it.
Can anyone put my mind at rest as to whether this is a genuine concern or not. If not my next step is to uninstall Exchange 2010 from this server and turn it off.

Hi Belinda,
I get the following:
[PS] C:\Windows\system32>Get-DatabaseAvailabilityGroup
Name Member Servers
Operational Servers
DAG01 {WSR-EX-01, WSR-EX-101, WSR21}
It doesn't look like that server is part of the DAG any more as far as I can see. I just can't explain that error message reported from the cluster command. As far as I can see the server is isolated. I already removed its database copies as a pre-requisite
before removing it from the DAG as per this guide:
http://www.experts-exchange.com/Software/Server_Software/Email_Servers/Exchange/Q_27039933.html
I found a nice little script that gave reports on your Public Folder configuration and it highlighted that some of our folders were not being replicated properly across our mailbox servers. This helped me in removing these services from the server.
It is currently doing nothing at this time as far as Exchange Services are concerned.

On Exchange 2010 you need to use the Exchange Management Shell so you need to use the connect-mailbox cmdlet see
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb123490(v=exchg.141).aspx
If your trying to do this from managed code then you can run that cmdlet from managed code see
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb332449(v=exchg.80).aspx and

Manually removing Exchange Server from Exchange 2010 Organization

Hi everybody, I need some help with a problem removing my last Exchange Server 2003 (the only one now, back-end) from my mixed environment, actually I have one Exchange 2010 server with all the mailboxes, I have replicated public folders and OAB and List
Address Books to it, after that i removed my front end server from my environment but when I tryed to remove my back-end, I have the error 0x80072030 (8240) when I ran the uninstallation of Exchange from Add/remove Programs: I read
tons of articles but anyone helps (i have removed all mailboxes from that server), my last resource is removing the last Exchange Server 2003 from my mixed (2003/2010) organization, I have read articles about to remove Exchange from one server and to remove
Exchange from one site, also to remove Exchange to reinstall after, but my goal is remove Exchange at all because I have Exchange Server 2010 too and finally need to migrate to Exchange 2013 so I need to clean Exchange 2003 manually from my
organizatión.
Please somebody knows a procedure to remove Exchange Server 2003 from Active Directory and left only Exchange 2010 to be able to migrate to Exchange 2013.
thanks in advance.

Exchange 2010 - Moving mailbox database from exchange 2010 server to another exchange 2010 server

Hi,
I have a current existing exchange server running on 2008 R2. apparently the partition that holds the mailbox database is getting full and i need to move some user mailboxes to another environment ( exchange 2010 running on 2008 R2). i transferred some users
successfully to the new location, but am not able to transfer the rest. I am getting the errors:

The queue in 'MBX2010_STAFF' database already contains a move request for 'Erastus XXXXX', while AD reports the mailbox as not being moved. It is possible that someone created this move request recently, while targeting a different domain controller, and AD

YOUR ASSISTANCE WILL BE HIGHLY APPRECIATED. THANX :)

0x80070005 is pretty standard access denied entries. I would start digging into ACLs on a handful
of mailboxes.
Is there another Admin that can give it a shot to test their permissions vs yours?

Connecting CAS Server to Mailbox Server in Exchange 2010

Currently, we are running the CAS,HUB,and Mailbox role on the same Exchange 2010 SP3 server. At some point I would like to separate this out. Should be an easy question: what command gets/sets the settings which points a CAS array to a mailbox database?
So I want CAS_SERVER1 -> DB1,DB2 and CAS_SERVER2 -> DB3,DB4

Hi,
In Exchange 2010, Outlook look for the “rcpclientaccessserver” attribute on the user’s Database to find the CAS server. You can manually set it by the following command:
Set-mailboxdatabase –rcpclientaccessserver xxx

Move mailbox from exchange 2010 2003 , Transient error MapiExceptionLogonFailed has occurred.

We are currently migrating from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2010, same domain.
We have successfully moved some mailboxes from exchange 2003 to exchange 2010 without any problems.
Now we need to move 1 mailbox back from exchange 2010 to exchange 2003.
After creating the moverequest it stucks on 0% and the log shows the error below.
After using Bing I found this post -> http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/exchange/en-US/ef41ae05-8816-4c0c-968a-c48f0e3d50b5/move-mailbox-back-from-exchange-2010-to-exchange-2003-failure?forum=exchangesvrdeploylegacy
This suggest ->
After I give FULL permissions to each Mailbox Stores on Exchange 2003 server, I was able to move my mailbox back onto the Exchange 2003 server. In details:
Simply right click Storage Group\Mailbox Store and go to Security, in there you may see Exchange Servers group already there, if no add it in, then give it FULL permissions! and thats it!
Create a new move request but still stuck on 0% and error as below

Hello，
When you move mailbox from exchange 2010 to exchange 2003, please check if the following situations exist:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd638157(v=exchg.141).aspx
Before you move mailbox again, please clear the previous move request.
I recommend you use EXBPA to check your exchange server 2003 and exchange 2010.
Please check if inheritable permission is missing on the mailbox store on Exchange Server 2003.

Content Index State Failed - Exchange 2010 2 Node Dag

Hello,
Last night I needed to restart one of my Exchange 2010 DAG nodes. I moved all Active Database copies of this node to the other node in the DAG. I then restarted the node with no Active Database copies. When the server came back up I moved
the Active Database copies back onto the node that they were initially on. The node that I restarted now shows the ContentIndexState of all Databases as "Failed". Test-replicationhealth gives the following results:

Removing mailbox server exchange 2010

Dear all,
I have two mailbox servers, when I try to uninstall mailbox server roll on the exchange 2010 Mailbox server1 I get below error msg.
Failed
Error:
This Mailbox server is responsible for generating an Offline Address Book. Removal of the Mailbox role is not permitted
If I move an offline Address book from Mailbox server1 to Mailbox server2 then I guess it should be okay?
Also get below error msg as well, do I need to take care of anything else before I remove the mailbox server role ?
Error:
Setup cannot continue with the uninstall because the 'beremote' () process (ID: 2076) has open files. Close the process and restart Setup.
Thanks !!!

Hi Ms-2010,
Before you uninstall the first Exchange 2010 Server, you need to fix few prerequisites warning/errors for a clean uninstallation.
Four points should be considered:
1. Change the OAB (Offline Address Book) generation role to other available server.
2. Remove the server from DAG membership.
3. Move the Arbitration mailboxes to another available Mailbox Server.
4. Ensure that none of the databases are using public folder of this server as default and Move Public folder replica to other available mailbox server.
Hope it is helpful.
Best regards,
Eric

Mirgrating to Exchagne Server 2013 from Exchange 2010

Hi Team,
I am in the phase of migrating to Ex 2013 server from Ex 2010 SP3. I've few queries:
Can I use existing Ex2010 DAG to add Ex2013 Servers?
If no, then creating a new DAG means I need everything new, such as, storage, network... right?
Can I use 2010 witness in 2013 DAG and other way around?
What coexistence means if a new DAG is created.
and kindly sahre some reading resources about this topic.
Really appreciete your help.
Thanks.

Hi,
As DareDevil suggested, you need to setup everything on the new Exchange 2013 servers. After finishing the configuration on Exchange 2013, start to do the migration.
What's more, I would like to clarify the following thing:
When migrating a DAG from Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013, you should first remove the mailbox server from the DAG in Exchange 2010 and then move mailboxes from database in this mailbox server to Exchange 2013. After all mailboxes have been migrated to the
Exchange 2013 mailbox server, when the new server is ready, it can become a member of the Exchange 2013 DAG.
For more information, here is a blog for your reference:

OST corrupt when moving Mailbox from Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2010

Anyone come across this?
Moving a mailbox on Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013 - the outlook client wont connect, if you remove the OST and allow outlook to recreate it comes good again.
outlook client knows the mailbox has moved as it connects to the new server
Not happening to every mailbox
thak=nks

Hi,
After you move mailbox from Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013, Outlook should still work.
Is there any error message when these affected users try to connect? If there is, please post here for further analysis.
I saw someone failed to connect to the new Exchange server after they moved mailbox, then they restarted the Microsoft Exchange Information Store service and restarted Outlook, it worked.
If you haven't tried this, you can restart the Microsoft Exchange Information Store service to check the result.
Best regards,
Belinda

Exchange 2013 - can no longer move mailboxes from Exchange 2010 to Ex 2013.

Migrating to Exchange 2013 from Exchange 2010. Created Ex 2013, moved some mailboxes OK. Then could no longer move mailboxes. No errors. The Migration email says complete. Synced: none, Total Mailboxes: none.
Tried several mailboxes. Same result.
Ex 2010 is SP3 RU6, (at least it says RU6 is installed in Programs/Features. The build is for SP3 w/o RU6???)
Ex 2013 is SP1 aka CU4.
How to proceed???

After many attempts to fix the issue (move remaining 4 mailboxes from Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013) I contacted Microsoft and we resolved the issue. Here's how.
btw - Thanks for the suggestions from Ed. However, they did not seem to move us forward.
What did work:
1. On the Exchange 2010 box, create a new database. (Someone else suggested this also). Then move the remaining Exchange 2010 mailboxes to this new db. Then after that, move the 4 mailboxes to Exchange 2013 using the GUI on Ex 2013. This only worked for one
of the four mailboxes. The other 3 failed.
2. Apparently, we need to restart the Microsoft Exchange Mailbox Replication service on the Exchange 2013 after several failed move attempts to clear cache related to the moves.
3. Then on the Exchange 2013 box, use this Exchange shell command:
New-MoveRequest -identity "[email protected]" -TargetDatabase "Exchange 2013 DB name" -BadItemLimit '500' -verbose
This moved the remaining 3 mailboxes including the Discovery mailbox. It took some time. But we could check the progress using
Get-MoveRequest
The MS Tech was terrific. Really knew his stuff. And all mailboxes are on Exchange 2013. Well, the last one is still moving, but I am optimistic.
Thanks for the suggestions. I had to get this done and the MS Tech made that happen.

Appointments from Exchange 2010 show as Mail in Mailbox

I have a very frustrating issue with a single user on one of our post offices. For reasons unknown appointments sent to the user from Exchange 2010 appear as mail items instead of appointments within the mailbox. Other users on the same post office do not get the same issue. I have tried resetting the user's views and a full client reset via maintenance. I have set the user's client settings to be the same as another user who does not get the issue without any luck either. Maintenance checks on the account does not flag any errors. I'm pretty certain I'm missing something very simple, but alas I can not think what.
Software wise we're running client 8.0.1 on post office agent version 8.0.2. We seem to get the same results regardless of the Client version of outlook, (we have tried the web version and 2003 and 2010 of the client). Anything else I could try would be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards
Rob

How about updating those as they are a bit old.
Try looking at that user's account from another machine and from
WebAccess (if installed).
It is good to separate the PC from the user account as sometimes an odd
problem can be from some funky issue on the PC.
I'm not surprised that different versions of the Exchange 2010 client
doesn't make a difference as there is the formatting is set when
Exchange formats the outgoing to the internet.
A thought there, is your user setup as a contact on the Exchange
system, there have been settings in the past that caused invalid
formatting of internet messages. Something to the effect that 'this
user is on OutLook/Exchange vs regular internet standards'.
Has there been a single appointment sent from a user on that Exchange
system to two of your users?

How many system mailboxes should be in exchange 2013 after moving from exchange 2010?

Hi, I am moving mailboxes from exchange 2010 to exchange 2013, I noticed that in exchange 2013, besides discovery search mailbox, there are other 5 system mailboxes.(especially, there are 2 x Microsoft Exchange system mailboxes) Please see the pic attached.
Does this look right? thanks

Looks perfectly fine - Why MS decided to name two of the five arbitration mailboxes the same (Microsoft Exchange) is unclear but it is what it is :)

Export Mailbox from Exchange 2010 and Import to Exchange 2007

Hello,
I exported mailbox (1GB in size) from Exchange 2010 to *.pst file; I need to import it into
Exchange 2007 mailbox. Is it supported ?
The operation completed successfully (no errors) but no items were imported; is it due to unsupported backward compatibility or some other issue ?
Thank you,
Luca

I also have the same issue. Exported mailboxes on Exchange 2010 SP3 latest updates using
New-MailboxExportRequest and then tried to import into mailbox on Exchange 2007 SP3 with latest updates. The 32-bit client machine used for the import has Outlook 2010 SP1 (SP2 and later updates causes a different error). I used Outlook 2010 because the E2K10
New-MailboxExportRequest documentation states that you have to use Outlook 2010 or later. The PST files created can be opened and imported via Outlook but not with the
Import-Mailbox cmdlet (with no error as stated in this thread). Other PSTs, not created from E2K10 export do import just fine. I also ran ScanPST.exe against the exported PST and then ran the import again and it worked, everything got imported. Interestingly
the test mailbox PST file I was using was 761 KB but after the ScanPST it was 1,257 KB - must be some difference in the PST format that the Import-Mailbox cmdlet can't deal with.
Does anyone have any other solutions or
workarounds to this. I've got over 900 mailboxes I need this for due to an
acquisition? Has anyone tried using Outlook 2013 on the machine used for doing
the Exchange 2007 imports or does Outlook 2013 also have the same issue as later versions of Outlook 2010 (Exchange Mailbox import failed with error code 2147221233)?

Exchange 2010 DAG Failover does not works

Hi Experts,
I have a Exchange 2010 setup in a DAG environment. We have 2 MBX servers in the main site and 1 MBX server in the DR site , all part of one DAG. We have 2 HUB/CAS servers in the main site and 1 HUB/CAS server in the DR site.
Recently we had to do our BCP test for audit purpose. We had issues in doing failover to the DR site and below is the error faced.
Please advise urgently on the possible causes and resolution steps for it as we need to do this test again on the coming weekend.
"EvictDagClusterNode got exception Microsoft.Exchange.Cluster.Replay.AmClusterEvictWithoutCleanupException: An Active Manager operation failed. Error An error
occurred while attempting a cluster operation. Error: Evict node 'sme-ho-mbx01' returned without the node being fully cleaned up. Please run cluster.exe node <NodeName> /forcecleanup to complete clean up for this node.. ---> System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception:
The wait operation timed out"
So, basically one of the MBX server was not evicting from the Cluster due to which failover did not work.
Would appreciate some urgent thoughts for the possible resolution.
regards

Hi,
Yes, you can run the Stop-DatabaseAvailabilityGroup without shutting down the Mailbox server. During the process of DAG failover to DR site, the Stop-DatabaseAvailabilityGroup cmdlet should be run against all servers in the primary datacenter. If the Mailbox
server is unavailable but Active Directory is operating in the primary datacenter, the Stop-DatabaseAvailabilityGroup command with the ConfigurationOnly parameter must be run against all servers in this state in the primary datacenter.
And please note that the Stop-DatabaseAvailabilityGroup cmdlet can be run against a DAG only when the DAG is configured with a DatacenterActivationMode value of DagOnly.
Based on the error message, it seems that you should run the cluster node nodename /forcecleanup cmdlet against the specified node in the main site. Have you tried this to check the result?
