Single Inbox on Unity Connection 8.5 and Exchange 2003 SP2

Hi,
We have Unity Connection 8.5 (with SU2) and Exchange 2003 SP2
We want to setup the Single Inbox feature that works well with Exchange 2007 and 2010, but my customer is running Exchange 2003 SP2.
We met all of the requirements outlined in: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/connection/8x/requirements/8xcucsysreqs.html#wp459928
I configure a new "Unified Messaging Services" profile for Exchange using Exchange 2003 and enabled for Single Inbox.  When I run "Test" it displays the following errors (other validation is successfully)
The service port for IMAP is not functioning.      
The system failed to connect to the server with a socket connection through port beatles.clubone.com:993. The error is error:0200206F:system library:connect:Connection refused. Refer to the tomcat log file for more details. If you are using secure connection, confirm that SSL is enabled on the server.
Why is it trying to connect using IMAP, that wasn't the case when I used for Exchange 2007 or 2010 when IMAP was not enabled.
Is there something else I'm missing for configuration with Unity Connection to support Single Inbox with Exchange 2003 SP2?
Thank you!

Hi Rya,
I just wanted to add my +5 vote for this great catch by Aaron (nice work "A")
If you are going to upgrade to Unity Connection 8.6
Check out this great doc from Saurabh for the refresh upgrade notes to 8.6.

  • Single Inbox Issue with Unity Connection 8.5 and Exchange 2003

    Hello Unity Gurus,
    I recently upgraded our Unity server to Unity Conenction 8.5. We are pressing hard to have unified messaging. However theres always problems it seems.
    We have several 2003 exchange servers, two of the exchange servers split up our organization and one has half of the users mailboxes and the other server has the remaining half. So far the only way that I can get Unified messaging is if I create two separate Unified Messaging Services one for one half, the other for the other half.
    This becomes a problem since now when I create the Unified Message account I have to know what server the user is on and the problem being is that I have 700 voicemail users ill have to look up. Not only that but, if our employees move from one site to the next and if the mailbox gets moved then I imagine most likely break unified messaging for that account.
    I've read the install guide for Unity connection Unified Messaging and I understand that the second option is to have Connection to search for Exchange servers via Active Directory however, when I set that up and test it via unified messaging services I get an error " searching network...failed to locate domain controller via DNS. Failed to locate an exchange 2003 server."
    DNS seems to work if I create single Unified Messaging Service and use the host name that way.
    Anyone have any thoughts or found a work around to this issue?
    Thanks,
    Dan

    We have 41 exchange UM services configured in Unity Connection on 10 clusters, each one to the 2003 exchange servers.  This is the only way it will work for us, as e2k3 can not search for and find other exchange services.  For 2010, it is able to search by AD domain and site name, and we only have one connector configured on each server to the e2k10 environment.  I believe this is the way it works, and is difficult to manage but works.  Just my two cents.

  • Unity Connection 8.5 and Exchange 2007 UM

    Hi everyone--has anyone configured Unity Connection 8.5 with Exchange 2007 for Unified Messaging yet?  I'm having some odd issues...now every message gets a delayed delivery receipt (regular email messages).  When i followed the guide from Cisco, it didn't work...reported a 503 error when i ran the test from a user's account...
    Can anyone provide guidance?  I've only done it under Exchange 2010 (with little to no issues...).
    SJ

    I did. Initially it was only Exchange 2010, however in SU2, Exchange 2007/2003 support was activated. It is currently working flawlessly. Just make sure to apply SU2 or upgrade to 8.6 (a little extreme, but to each, their own…). SU2 works well though.

  • Unity 5.0 compatibility with Exchange 2010 SP2?

    Has anyone out there tested Unity 5.0 (1) with Exchange 2010 SP2? Did you have any problems? I understand that Unity 5.x has gone end of maintenance, and it has not been officially been tested for compatibility with Exchange 2010 SP2 for unified messaging. I don't anticipate being able to upgrade Unity until next year, but the sytem admins want to upgrade from Exchange SP1 to SP2 sooner. Thanks.

  • Business Package for Communication with NW04 and Exchange 2003?

    Hi, we are evaluating opportunities to realize a groupware integration in the SAP Portal EP60SP2. A upgrade to Netweaver is planned, so the possible solution should work with Netweaver too. Our Exchange version is 2003.
    I'm thinking about the standard SAP Groupware-Integration in combination with the Business Package for Communication.
    <b>Has anyone expirences with the Business Package for communication, Netweaver and Exchange 2003, yet?</b>
    I know, it's not officially supported, but maybe it works.
    With the OWA-iViews we've got problems to implement our Styleguide and to devide into different iViews. The informations shown in the iViews of the Business Package are adequate and we would save ActiveX.
    <b>Is there another solution that works?</b>
    <b>Are there other iViews from 3rd party developers, that show Outlook informations?</b> Has anyone realized something like this in a project yet?
    I would be grateful for any ideas.
    Sandra

    Hi Sandra,
    Please note that the Business Package for Communication was only available for SAP EP 5.0. Newer releases of SAP EP contain the groupware (GW) functionalities and some GW iViews automatically as soon as KM is installed with the EP. The integration with MS Exchange 2003 should work. If you look for iViews such as Send EMail, Create Appointment, Show availability and Room Calendar, you can use the iViews shipped by SAP. If however you need the EMail inbox or the personal calendar and tasks, then the native OWA iViews are the way to go. For further details please refer to the SAP NetWeaver admin guide http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/0c/30d624a0fae949902f7a4b2a8f98bd/frameset.htm.
    Hope that helps

  • Can't connect to Exchange 2003 SP2 using BIS

    Hi,
    I'm a network administrator for a small company. We have a user with a Blackberry 8830, and they'd like to access their Exchange account from the device. We're running Exchange 2003 SP2.
    I attempted to set this up on the Blackberry and got the following error:
    "Cannot connect to email server or invalid server name. Please verify the Outlook Web Access URL. If the error persists, contact antarcticadigital.com (your email provider)."
    The user received an email with the following info:
    Your attempt to configure the BlackBerry Internet Service to deliver mail to your BlackBerry device from this email account was unsuccessful. This email provides instructions to help with the email account set up.
    You submitted the following information:
    Account Type:
    Outlook Web Access
    Email Address:
    [email protected]
    User Name:
    connectusdirect\person
    Password:
    ****** (For security the password is not displayed.)
    Mail Server:
    https://mail.xyz.com/exchange/
    [removed personal information]
    For historical reasons, our Windows domain name is connectusdirect, while the email domain is different (antarcticadigital.com).
    I've set this up before when I had a blackberry of my own, and it worked OK for me - so I'm not sure why we're having a problem with this user's account.
    On our mail server, I'm seeing the following in the IIS logs for the OWA site. These are coming from a RIM-controlled IP:

    Does anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Richard

    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.

  • 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

  • Migration; Exchange 2003 SP2 to Exchange 2013 on new Domain and DC

    I wasn't prepared for this task, and it was thrown at me to do...  Eyes are bleeding from planning reading and planning, would LOVE any input from you guys.  First time posting, here and have heard great things about these forums.  The Company
    I work for obtained a new client and a network that is in a cluster at the moment, so I'm having to dig through everything and restructure..
    Scenario:
    Old Domain/Server: (To be decommissioned)
    Server 2003 Standard SP2 (Domain: cosco.com; NETBIOS name: coscoex)
    Exchange 2003 SP2 (6.5.7638.1)
    Server is a domain controller and exchange server.
    Migrating to:
    Server 2012 R2 Datacenter (New Domain ad.cosco.com; NETBIOS name: cosco)
    VM #1: Server 2012 R2 Domain Controller at 2012 R2 Functionality 
    VM #2: Server 2012 R2 with Exchange 2013 Standard (Not Yet Installed) Joined to ad.cosco.com domain
    VM #3: Server 2012 R2 with Exchange 2010 (Not Yet Installed) joined to ad.cosco.com domain
    These are probably not ideal conditions, but I have to work with what I'm given.
    Host server (2012 R2) is in work group mode.  Hyper V Installed with a VM of Server 2012 R2 and as a DC at a functionality level of Server 2012 R2.  I had intended starting at a lower functionality level and raising
    it later, but.... ya I forgot to change it.  If needed I can spool up a new DC with a lower functional level.
    DNS, AD and group policy is all jacked up on the 2003 DC so that doesn't matter, All user accounts are going to be created under the new domain.  The concern is migrating the mailboxes from Exchange 2003 on the old domain to
    Exchange 2013 on the new domain.  The client is going to provide CSV of the AD accounts that are still valid (a lot of accounts are no longer used or are from people that no longer with the organization.)
    I had some ideas, but I'm not sure if they will work.  This is something I have never done before (Senior Engineer Quit).
    My thoughts:
    - Establish a two way trust relationship between the two domains.
    - Create two VM's, one with Exchange 2010 and one with Exchange 2013 (They have a 2010 licence that was not used).
    - Create the users on the new domain
    - Use the double hop method from Exchange 2003 > Exchange 2010 > Exchange 2013 
    - Link Exchange accounts to the correct user accounts on the new DC.
    Can this be done cleanly? Am I going about this the correct way?  Any feedback would be GREATLY appreciated.
    Note: We are forced to use ad.cosco.com (Obviously not the actual domain name)

    Hi,
    Base on my experience, your idea is feasible.
    However, before getting started, you should note that Exchange 2010 (with any service pack or update rollups) is not (yet) supported to install on Windows 2012 R2. More details refer to the following link: 
    http://technet.microsoft.com/library/ff728623(v=exchg.150).aspx
    After all the preparations complete, you can refer to the following articles to migration exchange 2003 to 2010, then to 2013:
    Exchange 2003 to 2010 Cross-Forest Migration Step by Step Guide

  • Unity Connection 8.x and Novell GroupWise IMAP client.

    Hi,
    Unity Connection 8.x clusters, the customer is using Novell Groupwise for email message store. We would like to setup GroupWise IMAP for them.
    However one of the customer's restrictions is that they locked down the end-users computers so that Unity Connection message can not be downloaded into end-user's local PC.
    I understand that on Unity Connection COS we can setup the option end-user can only access message header, but they have to dial-in the main-pilot number to retrieve message or use web-inbox tool.
    (1) Is there any way for us to setup the IMAP, so that end-user retrieve message while the message is still in centralized Unity Connection server?
    (2) If option (1) is not possible, can we setup the message folder of IMAP client to a network shared drive such as H, M drive instead of default local drive?
    (3) Any other solution or workaround?
    Thanks,
    JJ

  • BULK Greeting Change in Unity Connection 8.6 and higher

    In Cisco Unity Connection can you have the same voicemail greeting on 330 different voice mail boxes?  These are for stores  and if the store main number is busy or not answered it will got to voicemail
    Each of the voicemail box then emails the voicemail as attachment to voicemail box owner?

    Hi Anirudh,
    I am not clear on what you mean by this sentence:
    Each extension in the 330 sites will be unique and the same extension can be used for the user on Unity  - a total of 330 users on Unity.
    The Callflow we need looks like this.
    Call from PSTN to SITEA---> CFAtoVM --> Plays Standard Greeting ---MWI for PhoneA at SITEA Turns on
    Call from PSTN to SITEB---> CFAtoVM --> Plays Standard Greeting ---MWI for PhoneB at SITEB Turns on

  • COBRAS Import for Unity Connection 8.5 and Subscriber LDAP Integration Status

    Using COBRAS Import for Unity Connection 1.1 Build 212 with Unity 4.2 Voicemail Only and Connection 8.5(1)SU1 with LDAP Directory Integration
    When I run COBRAS the old alias matches the new alias and my desire is for subscribers being moved to be LDAP inegrated.  However after COBRAS runs, the radio box for LDAP Integration Status on the subscriber is set to Do Not Integrate with LDAP Directory. Is there a way for COBRAS to select Integrate with LDAP Directory when the alias matches on LDAP?

    Hi ben,
    If you are just importing from and not authenticating against LDAP, then the PIN comes
    from the Connection Template you used to build the users;
    Note that no passwords or PINs are copied from the LDAP directory to the Connection database. If
    you want Connection users to authenticate against the LDAP directory, see the “LDAP
    Authentication” section on page 9-7.

  • Do connections between Outlook and Exchange Server continue to sync without proper DNS?

    Hi there,
    We were acquired by an other company that uses Office365.com, so we are moving accounts over from Intermedia, our existing provider, to your service. My question is this: If i point our MX records over to Office365, will we be able to work with the old calendar
    and email items using the existing connection between Outlook and Intermedia Exchange? I understand that no new external mail will be delivered to the Intermedia accounts, but will we still have access to the existing items in the old mailbox as long as we
    have the Intermedia accounts?
    My plan is to receive new mail at Office365.com while taking our time to copy over old emails from the Intermedia folder to Office 365 folders.
    Thanks,
    Jeff

    Hi,
    According to your description, your accounts are moved from on-premise Exchange server to Exchange online server and you have the doubt about the availability of calendar and emails through the on-premise Exchange server.
    However, since it’s related to Exchange online, to get more professional and quicker help, I recommend you post it on our Exchange online forum, as Ed said.
    If you have any question, please feel free to let me know.

  • Vista Biz \ DTM 4.7 \ Bold \ Outlook 2007 and Exchange 2003 Nightmare! Help Please

    Hi
    I am trying to sync my Exchange Pub Folder (Calendar and Contacts) to my BB 9000 and it fails when I select 'MAP' in the DTM sync process.
    Vista Biz
    DTM 4.7 
    Outlook 2007 
    Exchange 2003
    Bold
    I am local\admin perms and Owner perms on the Exchange \pub folders but it crashes as soon as I select the MAP button.
    On my WinXP Pro, using Outlook 2003 and the same exchange it works out of the box, but with Vista and Outlook 07 it crashes.  Has anyone experienced this? 
    Thanks
    Karl

    It would appear that at least in certain situations Exchange 2003 can't "understand" what Outlook 2007 pushes into the mail store, which is an issue when anything tries to connect via POP or IMAP as the server tries to "render" an Internet standard message, and fails.
    Some info here, particularly the bit by Buddha377
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/exchangesvradmin/thread/c63b871 3-9ef9-4076-a11b-5db08255689b
    Sounds like your iPhone sync may be suffering the same way??
    P.S. Simply reading a message with OWA can "repair" email messages, I've witness this myself seeing Mail.app show "garbage" for a certain message pulled via IMAP, OWA showing the message fine, then all of a sudden Mail.app showing a perfectly formed message.

    Spin upa new VM as a domain controller and Global Catalog Server. Transfer the FSMO roles to it and let it sit overnight. Do NOT demote the Server 2003 domain controller or you will break Exchange 2003. Exchange 2003, when installed on a domain controller, doesn't properly configure itself to find domain controllers on the network. Instead, it goes into it's SBS configuration where it will only look at the current host for domain services.Next, determine which version of Exchange you want to go to. If migrating to an on-premises Exchange keep in mind that Exchange 2003 works with Outlook 2010 and earlier and that Outlook 2003 and earlier don't work with Exchange 2013. This means you need to upgrade to Exchange 2010 and enable non-secure Outlook connections on it, then upgrade Office to 2007 or later, and then upgrade to Exchange 2013.I...

    I'll ask why Server 2012 and not r2 & why exchange 2010 and not 2013?  I'll assume budget.
    The only difference I think I'd have with Gary is that I'd leave the demotion and removal of the old DC until the end.
    New DC, transfer the fsmo roles.  Make sure that replication is working properly.
    New Exchange box.
    Look up the requirements for removing the last exchange 2003 server, there are specific steps for this.Then demote and remove the old DC.Start by checking the Domain and Forest Function Levels :)
