Removing the last Exchange 2003 server from an Exchange 2010 organization

We're in the process of decommissioning our last Exchange 2003 server, I have proceeded through the steps in the Microsoft guide on how to do this and have deleted both the Mailbox and Public Folder stores, removed the RUS policies for Domain and Enterprise.
All mailboxes and public folders are now homed on the new Exchange so nothing resides on the old Exchange 2003 server.
I have today inserted the Exchange 2003 media into the Exch 2003 server and chosen the remove action, but it keeps telling me;
'The component "Microsoft Exchange Messaging and Collaboration Services" cannot be assigned the action "Remove" because: - One or more users currently use a mailbox store on this server.
I checked the server by searching ADUC and also checked this KB article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/279202 and nothing shows up.
I also checked this article on someones blog but no such luck http://smtp25.blogspot.co.uk/2007/04/having-trouble-to-uninstall-exchange.html
However someone made a comment that the used an ADSIedit query (&(objectCategory=user)(msExchHomeServerName=*)) however I am unsure how to do this in ADSI.
Any advice would be gratefully received.
Thanks!

 
Fantastic post ... thank you so much!
I found three active directory users account using that search which never had a mailbox assigned to them.  I removed the exchange attributes from each account and the uninstall proceeded
flawlessly!

  • Changing the Default OAB from an Exchange 2003 server to an Exchange 2010

    I am in the process of decommissioning my old Exchange 2003 servers. All mailboxes have been moved over to Exchange 2010. I already have OABs and Public Folders created on the Exchange 2010 servers. Since I see the "Default Offline Address List",
    which is pointing to my old Exchange 2003 server and the Default OAB is set to "True", can I just make an existing Exchange 2010 OAB the "Default OAB"? I have read that I have to perform a move on the "Default Offline Address List"
    OAB. Is this required?
    thanks
    Noe

    Configure the Exchange 2010 mailbox databases to use the Exchange 2010 OAB, and leave the Exchange 2003 databases alone.  You can delete the old OAB just before taking the Exchange 2003 servers out of production.  The "Default" setting
    means the OAB is the one that's assigned by default when you create a new mailbox database, so yes, you should set that.

  • Have Apple removed the "Last Compatible Version" option from the App Store ?

    Hi,
    I got an iPad 2 and am giving my dad my old iPad 1. Apple recently let you download the latest version of an app for the version of iOS you were on, this worked fine on my AppleID and I was able to download the last compatible version of every app I wanted. But since i restored this iPad and created an email address and AppleID for my Dad, any app requiring iOS6 or higher is giving me the same message as it did before Apple made the change, as in you need to upgrade to iOS 6 (not possible on iPad 1). I dont understand why its doing this, any idea why its done this now ?.
    Thanks in advance

    You'll need to download the existing current version of the App before you get the option for a compatible version.
    You can do this from a  compatible device or a computer running iTunes using your Dad's Apple ID so the Apps are associated with it.
    Once you've downloaded the Apps you want on a compatible device or a computer running iTunes you can then go to the Purchased Tab in the App Store App on the first gen iPad to get the last compatible version for the first gen iPad.
    Note that not all Apps may have compatible versions available.

  • How do I remove the last row in a csv data file

    I would like to remove the last row of data from a csv file that I have saved.  I can identify the start byte of the last row; however, I'm not sure what tool is the best one to remove it.  Should I move the EOF?  Should I open the file up to that point then save over the old one?  Is there another way I don't know about?  I am using labview 7.1.
    Thanks

    I would use the Read Text File.  You can right-click on it and tell it to read lines.  Then Delete From Array.  Leave the index and length unwired and it will delete the last item (I noticed your code is removing the second line).  Then open the file again set to replace or create and write your data.  This method allows you to propagate your errors instead of the Write/Read Spreadsheet File handling the errors for you.

  • Trying to recover a mailbox from an old Exchange 2003 server

    I still have a 2003 server in my environment but all functions and mailboxes are on Exchange 2010. The only reason the 2003 server is still around is for the off chance of requiring a restoration which has now come up. I have successfully restored a
    mail store to a recovery storage group but I am unable to export mailboxes from it using exmerge.
    I get the following error:
    [10:16:16] Copying data from mailbox 'Jacques Legare' ('LEGARE') on Server 'MAIL-SERVER' to file 'C:\TEMP\LEGARE.PST'.
    [10:16:16] Error opening message store (MSEMS). Verify that the Microsoft Exchange Information Store service is running and that you have the correct permissions to log on. (0x8004011d)
    [10:16:16] Errors encountered. Copy process aborted for mailbox 'Jacques Legare' ('LEGARE').
    I have read many, many articles regarding the requirement for “send as” permission. I have granted send as permissions to several different domain accounts and local accounts on the Exchange server but I get the same result with all of them.
    It looks like the problem may be because the mailbox no longer exists on the Exchange 2003 server.
    So what do I have to do to recover this mailbox? Can I create a mailbox for this user on the 2003 server without messing up his the mailbox on the 2010 server? Instead of restoring to the recovery storage group, should I restore and overwrite the original mailbox
    store? Again, will that mess up anything with the 2010 server?

    0x8004011d is permission related Error.
    Refer to the link below and download EXMERGE guide which has complete procedure documented.
    https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/office/Guide-to-Use-Exmerge-to-fd00af49
    If the mailbox that need to be restored has to be extracted from RSG is already moved to Exchange 2010 then you will not be able to run exmerge against it.
    You might have to update the attribute MsExchOrigMDB on the RSG to point to Exchange 2010 Database where the mailbox is now located.
    even this information is enclosed in the EMERGE Guide.

  • NO INCOMING POP MAIL from exchange 2003 server.-

    My university uses a exchange 2003 server for mail and pop access is enabled on all professor accounts. Since a couple of weeks ago I had no problem at all with my university mail account on apple mail, although I had to use :
    incoming mail server: "mail.myuniversity.edu.do"
    user: "DOMAIN\username"
    Password: "mypassword"
    Authentication: Password
    After december the 5th I'm not getting any mail at all, even thou the activity monitor says "incoming messages.... 83 of 83" but no message shows up on the inbox. I have noticed that the number keeps growing (84, 85, 86...) but still no message in my inbox.
    the weird thing is that I'm able to see my university mail in my iphone using the synced account settings in Itunes. I thought it was a problem of my machine I have made a clean format and reinstall of osX 10.6 with the 10.6.2 combo update. I did not transfered files nor configuration, just copied my documents and reconfigured mail from scratch. I did not imported any message. After all that, the problem persist.
    I have used Connection Doctor and everything looks ok. The Detail window shows this:

  • Installing certificate for access to exchange 2003 server

    My exchange server requires that a certificate be installed to enable remote access. Since the iPhone does not support disk mode like the iPod there appears to be no way to install the certificate. Are there any workarounds?
    iPhone Windows XP

    Whole migration from Exchange 2003 server to Exchange 2010 server has been done and applied 3rd party SSL certificate on Exchange 2010 servers also.
    Hi,
    According to your description, everything about exchange 2010 is ready.
    Why don't you follow the mail flow as below?
    Internet Emails > Ironport > Exchange 2010 (smart host) > Exchange 2003 servers
    Please refer to the following article:
    Move Internet Mail Flow from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2010
    Configure mail flow by using one of the methods listed below depending on the needs of your organization. This will enable Internet message flow through your Exchange 2010 Hub Transport servers.
    Configure Internet Mail Flow Through Exchange Hosted Services or an External SMTP Gateway
    Configure Internet Mail Flow Directly Through a Hub Transport Server
    Remove the SMTP connector in Exchange 2003 that is used to handle Internet mail. Your account needs to be a member of the local administrators group and a member of a group that has had the Exchange Administrators role applied at the administrative group
    level.
    In Exchange System Manager, expand the Organization node, expand
    Administrative Groups, expand <AdministrativeGroupName>, expand
    Routing Groups, expand <RoutingGroupName>, and then select
    Connector.
    In the right-hand pane, right-click the connector you want to delete and select
    Delete.
    Click OK to confirm the deletion.
    Hope this helps!
    Thanks.

  • SAP Internet Mail Gateway for MS Exchange 2003 Server

    Hi,
    Has anybody successfully configured the IMG to work with MS Exchange 2003?
    We have our 4.6C currently configured to talk to Exchange 2000 through SXC
    Note 594428 - SXC: Exchange 2003 Server is not supported 
    Solution
    R/3 Basis Release 3.1I to 4.6D:
    Use IMG 4.6D and sendmail instead of the SXC (see note 101573), or
    Upgrade your SAP system to Web Application Server (WAS) 6.10 or later and then use the SMTP plugin.
    We only use outbound mail from SAP and this is sent to intranet users only, we are not planning on upgrading for a at least a year and would like to avoid installing another mail server.
    Note 363154 - Internet mail gateway: use other MTA than Sendmail 
    This note suggests that any MTA (Mail Transfer Agent) can be used so long as it can be called from the command line, Exchange is an MTA, anybody now how to do a command line call for Exchange?
    I have read the documentation

    hi,
    we are in the process of configuring the Internet Mail Gateway on R/3 4.6c on Unix platform.
    I have created the RFC Destinations in SM59 and also checked the Test Connection and its working fine. I then did the Unix configuration and went on to the check whether the configuration was successful in SO01 by sending a sample text message to my company's mail address. but i did not recieve any mails on my Microsoft Outlook, instead the count under the errors column increased by one.
    on checking the status for the sent message in SO01, its saying "No Delivery to [email protected](for reason, see long text)... but there's no long text either...
    Can anyone please let me know the reasons for it and it would also be really helpful if someone can let me know whether i have missed any configuration settings.
    Also, can someone send the list of parameters that are to be entered for the Unix configuration under mlsomadm mailgw.ini, so that i can verify whether i have entered the parameters correctly....
    Kindly revert back at the earliest...
    Thanks & Regards

  • OUTLOOK 2013 permission shared calendar Free/Busy doesn't work for some the users Exchange 2010 and Exchange 2003 that use outlook 2007/2010

    Hello,
    We are in coexitence organisation (transition Migration) Exchange 2003 sp2 and Exchange 2010 sp1.
    Users in Exchange 2003 use outlook 2007 and outlook 2010
    Users in Exchange 2010 use outlook 2007, outlook 2010 and outlook 2013.
    Issue: users in Exchange 2003 can't open outlook 2013 user calendar when he has Busy/Free information as default permission in his calendar.
    User in Exchange 2010 with outlook 2007 can't also open outlook 2013 user calendar when he has Busy/Free information as default permission in his calendar.
    Is it normal ? or exist some configurations to do in order to coexist all thoses clients and servers ?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    Does this issue occur on Outlook only or both Outlook and OWA?
    Since you have double checked the permissions via multiple methods, it seems there is nothing problem on permission. Please make sure the migration from Exchange 2003 server completed successfully.
    If in OWA everything goes well (cannot see details), it should be an issue on the Outlook client side.
    I suggest run Outlook under safe mode to avoid some AVs and add-ins.
    I suggest re-create profile to refresh the caches.
    Thanks

  • Creating email address using Microsft exchange 2003 server

    Hi. Have a MacBook Pro 2008. I need to add my new company email and we are having trouble creating it on my Macbook Pro. The pepole here only use PCs and they have a Microsoft exchange 2003 server. They are suggesting I buy Microsoft Office for Mac because of Outlook? Is this the only solution or is there another one? Thanks.

    I'm not using IMAP. I've tried that before. This time around I'm using the Exchange Account connection. I recall seeing where you could select to delete email from the server with IMAP, but I can't find the same or similar setting in the Exchange settings.

  • Exchange 2003 server email

    The company I work for uses MS Exchange 2003 Server for its email.  iPhone with either iOS 4 or iOS 5 does fine synching with Exchange 2003.  I would like to access my work email on my Mac.  Microsoft says that the only way to do this is to buy MS Office 2008 Home Business Version, and as far as I can tell, this is correct.  Does anybody know of a workaround, perhaps syncing my email from iPhone to Mac.  Thanks.

    My bad. I seem to recall, though setting up mail to talk to our Exchange 2003 server before we migrated over to Exchange 2010 this year. My memory of the timing must be off.
    There's always OWA in a pinch.
    Not for Exchange 2003 users, /OWA came in with 2007 sp1 and all that, before that it was /exchange. Everyone is dropping support for E2003, even Microsoft (see Outlook 2011), Entourage is actually a good client, different, but better than it looks. You can also use 3rd party connectors, DavMail is a common choice but I found it close to incomprehensible, and then unreliable (especially with contacts)

  • How to automatically remove the wiki page's images from the Images library , when a wiki page is deleted

    I have noted the following strange behavior inside my Publishing enterprise wiki site collection. Now by default when I create a new wiki page and I add Pictures to it, the pictures will be saved under the “Images” library and will be inside a unique folder
    that have its name similar to the page name.
    But when users delete the picture from the wiki page or they delete the whole wiki page, then the related folder inside the “Images” library will not be removed. So can anyone advice if there is a way to automatically remove the page’s pictures
    folder from the Images library when the page is deleted? as currently i might end up having many pictures inside the Images library which are not linked to a wiki page, and they will waste my server desk space...

    I think, not sure, there's no out-of-the-box solution in SharePoint for this problem. So I can only think of custom solution:
    In event Receiver, ItemDeleting, you can delete images. The only downside is if some other pages are referring the images..... you need to check somehow which is quite time-consuming operations if you have thousand of pages in wiki library
    A timer job, that will run periodically, every day or week, and clean all unused images. 
    Hide the default delete button and add your own. And then using your own custom layout page, show a 'configuration dialog' to user if they want to delete both page and images.
    Thanks,
    Sohel Rana
    http://ranaictiu-technicalblog.blogspot.com
    Please do not tell me this is not supported out of the ox ,,,,, i that i should handle this process by myself !!! and SharePoint does not support this feature .... this is another  problem i should include in my list .....

  • Insert no#3 and remove the last 3 digits...

    Dear All,
    I would like to issue a voice translation-rule that can insert the digit number 3 before/after certain digits and also remove the last 3 digits at the same time.
    # Details:
    I receive the following Dialed numbers on a voice port for example: 004925147260123 For these numbers I have 3 sets:
    - Set 1: 004925147 is always the same; I need to insert the digit number 3 just after 004925, for my example 004925 --> must be 0049253
    - Set 2: consists of 3 digits can vary so I want the translation rule to translate these numbers to be the same numbers, for my example 260 --> must be 260
    - Set 3: The last 3 digits also they can vary but I would like to remove these last 3 digits from the final translated number
    So for my example I would like the voice translation-rule to translate the dialed no# 004925147260123 so that it will be 0049253147260
    Appreciate you support,
    Thanks..

    Thanks, the way i want it can be done like this:
    rule 1 /^\(004925\)\(......\)...$/ /\13\2/
    But you gave me the right way..
    Appreciate your support..
