Server 2003 R2 DC migration to 2008 R2 worked? but exchange 2007 has stopped

Hi everyone,
This is a single DC running on Server 2003 R2 which I migrated to a fresh install of Server 2008 R2. This appears to have worked without issue. DNS is working dcdiag and netdiag didn't report problems.
When I demote the 2003 server however Exchange 2007 stops working. It appears that it is still looking to talk to the 2003 server based on this
EVENT ID: 2012 All DC Servers in use are not responding DC.mydomain.com
Can anyone help fix this issue pls. I cant find where Exchange has stored the old domain name.
TYIA

TY both for taking the time to reply.
I have gotten to the problem. The fact you both pointed me to event 2080 was instrumental in guiding me down the right path. Once I read this MS article I could see the new DC was missing
the SACL rights. This was a tad frustrating as I had previously checked that Manage auditing and security log was correctly configured in the Default Domain Controllers Policy, was applied to Domain
computers and the new server was in the correct container.
However when your up to your ass in a croc filled swamp you sometimes forget the odd thing; I didn't run RSOP, if I had at the time, I would have never have had to post for help. Yes you guessed it the policy wasn't enabled!! A quick enable and gpupdate
/force and all was well.
Still, always the optimist, I learned about event 2080, and uncovered and fixed problems with the clients servers where they had ghost nics....
Just to clarify in case others read this post.
This wan't SBS
It was a single DC domain running on server 2003 R2 x64
Exchange 2007 running on a seperate server 2003 R2 x64.
The domain name didn't change. What I meant was the new DC had a different name
the New DC is a fresh install of server 2008 R2, IPv6 is enabled
The old DC had adprep /forestprep then adprep /domainprep run on it
The 5 fsmo roles were moved from the old DC to the 2008 DC
Just need to move DHCP and other bits n pieces and job done :)
Thanks for the help

Setting up a test AD domain to practice Exchange Server 2003 to 2010 migration

Please critique my plan to upgrade our Exch 2003 server to 2010.
I want to start by setting up a test domain using an old Win Svr 2003 DC, and another old win 2003 server as an Exch 2003 mail server.
This test domain will be connected to our existing LAN so I need to make sure it doesn’t cause any problems.
We are a small single domain shop with a public domain name that I will call “mycompany.net” for the purposes of this question.
Our DC’s are named: “dc05.main.mycompany.net”, “dc06.main.mycompany.net”
Mail server: “mail1.main.mycompany.net”
Public DNS for our domain has an MX record that points to a public IP we use for our Sonicwall spam filter. The firewall has a 1 to 1 NAT entry to route that public IP to the LAN IP of the spam filter with corresponding rule that allows smtp to that LAN
IP.
The spam filter routes good mail to the Exch Svr, and the Exch Svr uses the spam filter as a smart host for outgoing mail.
Another public DNS entry points “smtp.mycompany.net” to our firewall which 1 to 1 NAT’s that public IP to another LAN IP of our Exch Svr (we have 2 IP’s assigned to this server). This is used for OWA, ActiveSync etc. to the Exch Svr.
Test Domain Setup
I plan to name the test domain “test.mycompany.net”.
DC = “dc01.test.mycompany.net”
Mail = “mail.test.mycompany.net”
Public DNS MX record for “test.mycompany.net” to point to a currently unused public IP we have available.
MX record for “test.mycompany.net” will point to public IP x.x.x.10
Firewall will NAT that public IP to the LAN IP x.x.x.30, and allow smtp on that IP to route to the sonicwall spam filter.
The spam filter will have in incoming mail path setup that routes mail with source IP x.x.x.30 to the test mail server.
Outgoing mail configuration on the test mail server will be the same as the “main” exch svr I guess.
Once the test domain seems to be working:
I will obtain an SSL certificate (we are not using SSL now) and apply it to the test mail server, so I can figure out how that works.
Then I will add a new Win Svr 2008 R2, Exch Svr 2010 machine to the test domain and go thru the procedure of migrating to it.
Once I feel like I know what I am doing I will plan the migration of the “main” domain mail server.
Primary concern is to not allow this testing to disrupt the operation of our currrent systems.
I know this is a lot to ask, but I’m hoping some of you guys just love this stuff so much you will enjoy thinking about it and helping me with any constructive suggestions.
Thank you.

Failed Windows Server 2003 Enterprise SP2 to Windows 2008 Enterprise OS Upgrade

Attempted to upgrade the OS on our Primary Domain Controller which is running Windows Server 2003 Enterprise with Service Pack 2 installed on a HP ProLiant DL360 G4P Server with 2GB of ram, 3.2 GHz Processor and 53.2 GB of free space on C. I took
the following steps prior to attempting upgrade.
1. Determined that Server meet the minmum requirements for upgrade.
2. Installed all Windows Updates.
3. Uninstalled McAfee Virus Scan Enterprise Application
4. Backed Up and Imaged Primary Domain Controller.
5. Tested Domain Replication to ensure Primary and Backup Domain Controllers were communicating with each other.
6. Set Domain Function Level at Windows Server 2003
7. Placed ADPREP folder on C:\ on Primary Domain Controller and ran "adprep /forestprep" and "adprep /domainprep" successfully
8. In the C:\Windowd\System32 renamed the WindowsPowerShell application folder to WindowPowerShell-Old, the application failed the Upgrade compatibility test.
Loaded the DVD: "Windows Server 2008 for Enterprise, Standard and Datacenter 32bit Edition", ran installation in upgrade mode to preserve existing settings and software.  The Ugrade ran to last step, application install and failed at
26% complete with the following errror message:
"Windows installation encountered an error and cannot continue. Your computer will now restart and your previous version of windows will be restored"
My questions are why did the upgrade fail? What can we do to ensure the upgrade will succeed next time?
I have incuded the Setuperr.log below.

Windows Server 2003 AD Migration Problem

Hi Team,
I'm currently working on a project on Migrating our Windows Server 2003 AD server (old Machine) to our new Windows Server 2003 machine (PDC-AD). I successfully promoted our new AD server (PDC-AD) as domain controller, but upon checking, the server is not promoted
as Global catalog with following errors shown below.
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator.PDC-AD>dcdiag /q
Warning: PDC-AD has not finished promoting to be a GC.
Check the event log for domains that cannot be replicated.
Warning: PDC-AD is not advertising as a global catalog.
Check that server finished GC promotion.
Check the event log on server that enough source replicas for the GC ar
e available.

Is there any tool I can use to further isolate the problem?.
Thanks
Mark D.

Hi Vivian,
Thanks for your reply, for additional info, I didn't use Active directory migration tool. Below is my step-by-step procedure.
1. Installed Windows Server 2003 on a new machine.
2. Promote the new Windows Server 2003 machine as a Domain controller. New Windows Server 2003 machine is promoted successfully.
3. But upon checking of the server, the new machine is not promoted as a Global Catalog.
Below are the event logs from Directory services.
1. Promotion of the local domain controller to a global catalog has been delayed because the directory partition occupancy requirements have not been met. The occupancy requirement level and current
domain controller level are as follows.
Occupancy requirement level:
6
Domain controller level:
0
The following registry key value defines the directory partition occupancy requirement level.
Registry key value:
HKeyLocalMachine\System\ CurrentControlSet\Services\NTDS\Parameters\Global Catalog Partition Occupancy
Higher occupancy requirement levels include the lower levels. The levels are defined as follows:
(0) Indicates no occupancy requirement.
(1) Indicates at least one read-only directory partition in the site has been added by the Knowledge Consistency Checker (KCC).
(2) Indicates at least one directory partition in the site has been fully synchronized.
(3) Indicates all read-only directory partitions in the site have been added by the KCC (at least one has been synchronized).
(4) Indicates all directory partitions in the site have been fully synchronized.
(5) Indicates all read-only directory partitions in the forest have been added by the KCC (at least one has been synchronized).
(6) Indicates all directory partitions in the forest have been fully synchronized.
2. The Global Catalog has no intra-site sources for at least one partition. Replication to the Global Catalog is limited to scheduled replication from inter-site sources.

Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 and Windows 8 Compatibility

Is there a fix or workaround for accessing email via Outlook 2013 (Windows 8) when your company uses Microsoft exchange server 2003 and has not plans on upgrading it any time soon. I am a remote employee so I am the only one that has this problem in the
company. I can access email through an owa account but it's a pain. I tried to set up a rule to have all incoming mail forwarded to my gmail account in Outlook 2013, but that did not work. Any other ideas?

If server has enabled ActiveSync you can use Windows 8 Mail Client - works almost like Outlook.
AFAIR Outlook 2013 can't work with Exchange 2003.

Exchange Server 2003 and OWA: Missing search box in contacts

Don't know what has happened here, we got a new server administrator.
Using OWA, connecting to our Server 2003 at the office. He has put the Contacts in a Public Folder that we drill down into to access. When accessing from home via OWA, and having drilled down to that public folder where the contacts reside, there
isn't a search box. In other words, if I wanted to search for a contact via OWS, I can't. I have to sift through page by page, hoping I come upon the contact.
Any help here? The new administrator seems to push this off on the guy that just left. Oy vey….

Upgrading Exchange Server 2003 to 2010 to 2013 is worth???

Hello there, I am planning to upgrade about 30 users from exchange server 2003 to 2010 and finally to 2013. Is it worth to upgrade in this way because this steps are hard and very time consuming. What if, if I just copy all the user mailboxes directly to
exchange server 2013 and configure 2013 as a new exchange server and decommission old exchange server 2003?
How to copy user mailboxes to fresh exchange server 2013?
Please help me out.
Thankx

Yes, Export the PST from User Mailbox and Import it into Exchange 2013 Mailbox. But the problem is, you can't install Exchange 2013 in your current Exchange 2003 environment.
Only option is to install Exchange 2010 first and migrate all the users to Exchange 2010. Also Replicate the Public Folders too(If you are using)
Decommission Exchange 2003 entirely. Install Exchange 2013 SP1 and Migrate the User to Exchange 2013.

How to check NTP source from win.server 2003?

Hello,
I have question about NTP. I have two NTP servers. Our two DC's are sync with NTP through GPO group.
Please how can i check, if NTP deamon on my Windows Server 2003 is sync with DC server? This server is in the domain.
And all others servers (2008) in domain are sync with the DC - w32tm /query /status
I checked it on win. server 2003 also, with this command net time /querysntp, but the response was not from my DC. Please where should be the problem?
Thank you.

wrong forum, but try
W32tm /Stripchart /Computer:<TargetDC>

Exchange active sync cannot connect to server after migration mailbox user from exchange 2007 to exchange 2013 coexistence

Hello, everyone, my name is rafl
I have a problem with exchange 2013 active sync.
I have installed exchange 2013 coexistence with legacy exchange 2007, I have to migrate user mailboxes: [email protected] from exchange 2007 to exchange 2013.
but any problem with active sync connection on the mobile device after moving mailbox user. I reconfigure the exchange ActiveSync external connection domain (latest.domain.com) on mobile device replacing legacy exchange ActiveSync external connection domain
(legacy.domain.com)
the process of moving mailboxes successfully without error.
Access OWA for exchange 2007 and exchange 2013 is running normally
access mail from Outlook running normally
Certificate request has been installed and has no problem with it
The OWA virtual directory is configured for internal and external connections and different from the legacy exchange
The autodiscover virtual directory is configured for internal and external connections and different from the legacy exchange
ActiveSync virtual directory is configured for internal and external connections and different from the legacy exchange
user mailboxes are still on exchange 2007 is not problematic.
only problem with Exchange Active Sync on mobile devices, where I set up an email with android, iphone, windows phone. the error message: cannot connect to the server.
but, if I create a new user and create user mailboxes directly in exchange server 2013, ActiveSync can run without error on mobile device, access through OWA, MsOutlook, Outlook Anywhere also run normally.
only the results of user migration from exchange 2007 to exchange 2013 which is troubled with exchange ActiveSync connection.
any ideas for this problem, and what should I check on the exchange server ..?

i have run the activesync test connectivity and get some error :
Testing TCP port 443 on host domain.co.id to ensure it's listening and open.
The specified port is either blocked, not listening, or not producing the expected response.
A network error occurred while communicating with the remote host.

I have allowed access to port 443 (https) and 80 (http) on the firewall and re-run testconnectivity, but still with the same results. if I enable active sync for users who created directly in Exch 2013 there is no problem with the ActiveSync, just a problem
for users who moved from Exch 2007 to Exch 2013. @Android, iPhone, and Blackberry the error message "cannot connect to the server"

HP Cloud Print Driver for Windows Server 2003?

Hello,
I have a unique (complicated) situation that I am trying to find a solution for.
Here is the deal,
My company is trying to set up a temporary remote branch location inside a building where we are unable to wire a network. Our solution is to use a wireless hotspot. Connected to this hotspot, we will have an iPad and an HP Laserjet M525.
The iPad will be connecting to our Citrix environment over VPN through Citrix Receiver to deliver a desktop interface to the iPad. This is needed to access a few applications that are used at the branch.
The problem now is printing, AirPrint wont work because the iPad is on VPN (and its at a windows interface, not the iPad's).
I had the idea of using the HP printers built in ePrint function to print, so I set that up. So now sending at email to [email protected] prints to the HP printer attached to the wireless hotspot.
Emaling to print works, but ideally, I would like this printer to show up in the Windows Devices and Printers, so that the user can just click print, choose the HP printer, and it will print, (with a delay obviously as its sending an email).
So I downloaded the HP ePrint Windows Driver, which has to be installed on the main Citrix servers so that the users session can grab the printer and use it, turns out the driver doesnt work on Windows Server 2003.
My first attempt at a workaround was Google Cloud Print, which was fairly simple to connect to HP ePrint, but apparently the Google Cloud Print Driver doesnt work on Windows Server 2003 either.
Is there a version of the HP ePrint Driver out there that works on Windows Server 2003?
tldr:
I would like to print to a remote HP printer that is connected to a wifi hotspot from our internal network. I need whatever software I download to be compatible with Server 2003.
I understand this is over complicated but thanks for any input.

I believe I understand your issue. You would like to use a print driver to print to your HP ePrint enabled printer from your apps that are hosted by Citrix server. While I believe this makes perfect sense, HP does not have a print driver that officially supports MS TS or Citrix that also supports the ePrint Cloud path. The reason for this is the ePrint windows driver is a "dynamic" print driver (similar to HP UPD dynamic mode) that handles multiple print paths (tcp/ip, wireless direct, cloud, etc) in a single driver instance by dynamically changing the port the print queue is bound to so the port is specific to the delivery path. For example, if printing to a network printer it will use a MS Standard tcp/ip port. If printing to the ePrint cloud a custom port is used, etc. Well, if you have lots of Citrix users trying to print to a single print queue, but to different destinations, the users would be colliding with each other when they print by having the driver trying to change the print queue to different print ports at the same time.
What you could do is install an ePrint print queue on the citrix server if you can control the access to that queue to just your local branch users. Also, if you only have on ePrint enabled printer the situation is even better as only one port will be needed by that queue. You can find the ePrint software at www.hp.com/go/eprintsoftware You might want to download the version of the driver that supports XP as Windows 2003 is very similar print system.
NOTE: this is not a supported environment for this driver. You would be using it without warrenty or support and no promises are being made here.
Good luck if you choose this path and please post back the results. Thanks!

A problem with Win 7 Pro, Outlook Web Access based on Exchange Server 2003, and two different domains

Dear Microsoft Support,
As mentioned in the title,
I have two domains. One is Domain A at HQ. The other one is Domain A at branch office. A laptop having Win 7 Pro OS is a client of Domain A. The Domain A has Exchange Server 2003. Users of Domain B get connected to Exchange Server for email services. In
all clients of the Domain B, IP address of the email server added in C:\Windows\System 32\drivers\etc\host file.
Whereas in the clients of Domain A it was not done, because all the servers including the email server belong to the Domain A.
Now, a user with Domain A's client (it is a laptop) came to Branch office and wanted to access the Outlook (using Outlook Web Access). since there is no IP address added in the Host file of the laptop, connectivity to email is not possible. When I try to
add the IP address, I was not able to do so due to Domain A's security reasons.
So, let me know, is there a way out to add the IP address in the host file of the Domain A's client.
Thanks in advance.
Ravi Sekhar Modukuru

I would suggest adding the mailserver address in Domain B's DNS. Would that be possible?
I agree. The correct solution in this case (since it appears you already have a two-way Domain Trust in place) is to properly configure DNS in Domain 'B' to be a secondary of Domain 'A' and completely eliminate the need to maintain the HOSTS file.

SCCM 2012 R2 with Server 2003 DIstribution Point

Does anyone know if Server 2003 SP2 can be used as a distribution point? I have a fellow co-worker having issues with getting PxE to work.

That's right. Windows 2003 Server is not supported. Your original question was about Windows Server 2003 SP2.
That is supported for PXE but does not support multicast or PXE booting of EFI.

SQL Server 2005 SP4 not installing correct on Server 2003

Everytime I attempt to install SP4 on my Server 2003 system it states it goes through successfully but when I reboot it hasn't done anything.
Summary Log states all is successful for version 9.00.5000.00 (0 Errors, SQL Support: Passed, Summary: Successful)
after reboot or even before the sqlserver.exe shows its still version 9.00.4262.00 and still shows up in Microsoft updates and doesn't show the install at all in Add/Remove Programs
I'm at a complete loss on what to do.. I've tried the RTM download and the Auto Update method both with same results. Tried shutting down all services in relation as well. I'm lost
