Step by step upgrading exchange server 2010 standard to enterprise edition

step by step upgrading process exchange server 2010 standard to enterprise edition

Exchange standard and Enterprise edition have the same ISO image. it's just the license that you have to enter and corresponding features will be enabled. If you are planning to upgrade existing Exchange 2010 Standard to Exchange 2010 Enterprise then simply
apply the licenses of Enterprise edition. But if you want to upgrade to Exchange 2013 enterprise then install exchange 2013 in your environment and apply Exchange 2013 Enterprise edition licenses. Hope this answer your query. Thanks.
Kindly mark this as answer if found helpful. Thanks.

Outlook 2010 and OWA (Hosted on Exchange Server 2010 Standard) only show 1 weeks worth of email

Checked to see if any Filters were applied, reset to default, same result.
Checked to see if there were any rules, there were none.
Checked to see if there were any "Quick Steps", there were none.
Rebuilt the user profile in Outlook, same results.
OWA shows the same thing so I am thinking it might be a setting/problem with Exchange. Outlook and OWA are in perfect sync, they just don't show email older than a week.

Hi,
Based on the description, you could only see those messages whose age was less than one week in Outlook and OWA.
First, I recommend you check if there is any retention policy applied to this user mailbox.
Besides, please use the get-mailboxstatistics command to get the number of items present in the mailbox, and then compare it with what you can see in Outlook.
Best regards,

When sending e-mail messages to a mail-enabled public folder that have been replicated from old Exchange Server 2000/2003/2007, Exchange Server 2010 environment mails are rejected with NDR.

Hi, I would like to share with you issue that I’ve solved regarding mail-enabled PF that migrated from Exchange 2000/2003/2007 to 2010, I’ve searched & contacted my MVP leader – there’s no official KB regarding this issue right
now, so I’m posting here in order to share this among others.
Note: There’s article(s) that talked about PF replication from Exch2000/2003/2007 to 2010 – this is the same issue as well.
Symptoms
E-mail messages that been sent to mail-enabled public folder in Exchange Server 2010 environment rejected with the following NDR:
“#< #5.2.0 smtp;554 5.2.0 STOREDRV.Deliver.Exception:ObjectNotFoundException; Failed to process message due to a permanent exception with message The Active Directory user wasn’t found. ObjectNotFoundException: The Active Directory
user wasn’t found.> #SMTP#”
Sometimes Exchange Server 2010 is documented as well Event ID 1020 on the Event Viewer with this information:
“Log Name: Application
Source: MSExchange Store Driver
Event ID: 1020
Level: Error
Description:
The store driver couldn’t deliver the public folder replication message "Hierarchy ([email protected])" because the following error occurred: The Active Directory user wasn't found.”
Cause
In an environment where Microsoft Exchange Server 2000 or Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 previously existed, and all those servers have been removed, there is a chance that an Administrative Group (First Administrative Group or another custom Administrative
Group) remains with a Servers container, but no servers inside it.
During replication, when the Exchange 2010 Store Driver sees the empty Servers container in Active Directory, it's expecting a System Attendant object inside the container and when it is not found the error occurs.
Resolution
To work around the issue, delete the empty Servers container. This can't be done through Exchange System Manager. Use the ADSI Edit tool to remove it using the following steps:
Warning If you use the ADSI Edit snap-in, the LDP utility, or any other LDAP version 3 client, and you incorrectly modify the attributes of Active Directory objects, you can cause serious problems. These problems may require you to reinstall Microsoft Windows
2003 Server, Microsoft Windows Server 2008, Microsoft Exchange 2010 Server or both Windows and Exchange. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems that occur if you incorrectly modify Active Directory object attributes can be solved. Modify these attributes
at your own risk.
1.
Start the ADSI Edit MMC Snap-in. Click Start, then
Run, and type adsiedit.msc, and then click OK.
2.
Connect & Expand the Configuration Container [YourServer.DNSDomainName.com], and then expand
CN=Configuration,DC=DNSDomainName,DC=com.
3.
Expand CN=Services, and then CN=Microsoft Exchange, and then expand
CN=YourOrganizationName.
4.
You will see an empty Administrative Group. Expand the
CN=YourAdministrativeGroupName.
5.
Expand CN=Servers.
6.
Verify there are no server objects listed under the
CN=Servers container.
7.
Right click on the empty CN=Servers container and choose
Delete.
8.
Verify the modification, and try to send again the E-mail to the mail-enabled public folder.

Sounds like you are looking in the wrong Administrative Group container which is why you are seeing your Exchange 2010 servers in there.
When you install Exchange 2003 only you will see a container named by default as "CN=First Administrative Group" container. But this could be named anything if you changed the Organization Name on the installation when you installed the first
Exchange 2003 server into the domain/forest.
You will notice that when you install Exchange 2010 part of the AD setup is to create a new configuration container and is named by default "CN=First Administrative Group (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT)".
So it sounds like you are not looking in the right location within ADSIEdit.
You may find the following article also helpful for this issue which is the same resolution:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/sbs/archive/2012/05/17/empty-cn-servers-container-causing-issues-with-public-folders-on-small-business-server-2011.aspx
I recommend though that you ensure your Exchange 2003 servers are fully uninstalled or no longer present in your environment before you go deleting the Servers container though.. The following Microsoft article will help with this:

Event logs fails to start on Exchange Server 2010

My Exchange server 2010 R2 SP1 Enterprise single server is down. All exchange services fail to start. It appears like the Microsoft Exchange Active Directory Topology service isn't starting which is a dependency for all other services.
The error I get when trying to start this service is:
Windows could not start the Microsoft Exchange Active Directory Topology on Local Computer. For more information, review the System Event Log. If this is a non-Microsoft service, contact the service vendor, and refer to service-specific error code
-2147024882
To make matters worse, the event viewer is not starting either.
When trying to start the Windows Event Log, I get the error:
Windows could not start the Windows Event Log service on Local Computer. Displays Error code 5
This is running on a Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 Standard box.
Any assistance is appreciated.

When trying to start the Windows Event Log, I get the error:
Windows could not start the Windows Event Log service on Local Computer. Displays Error code 5
Hi,
Based on this error, this problem happens if any of the following conditions are true:
The built-in security group EventLog does not have permissions on the folder %SystemRoot%\System32\winevt\Logs
The Local Service account does not have default permissions on the following registry key: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Reliability
To solve this problem, we need to restore the default permissions in the list below on %SystemRoot%\System32\winevt\logs.
Authenticated user - List folder/read data, Read attributes, Read Extended attributes, Read permissions
Administrators - Full control
SYSTEM - Full control
EventLog - Full control
Please try the following methods:
Method 1
To restore the default permissions on folder %SystemRoot%\System32\winevt\logs, follow these steps.
Right-click on %SystemRoot%\System32\winevt\logs and select Properties.
Select the Security tab.
Click Edit button and click the Add button in the permissions dialog box.
In Select users, computers, or Groups dialog box ensure that under object types Built in Security Principals and the location as local computer name is selected.
Enter the object name as "NT SERVICE\EventLog" without quotes. And click OK. This group should have full control on the folder.
Once EventLog group is added add the rest of the groups with above mentioned permissions.
Method 2
Identify a Windows Server 2008 machine with default permissions.
Click Start, and then type cmd in the Start Search box.
In the search results list, right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as Administrator.
When you are prompted by User Account Control, click Continue.
Type the command CD %SystemRoot%\SYSTEM32.
Once the working directory is changed to %SystemRoot%\SYSTEM32 type the command icacls winevt\* /save acl /T.
This will save a file named ACL in %SystemRoot%\SYSTEM32. Copy this file to the C: drive on the problem computer.
On the problem computer, open command prompt with administrator privileges (refer to previous steps 1-3).
Change the working directory to %SystemRoot%\SYSTEM32.
Execute the command icacls winevt\ /restore acl.
Default permissions on the registry key HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Reliability should be:
CREATOR OWNER - Full control
SYSTEM - Full control
LOCAL SERVICE - Query Value, Set Value, Create Subkey, Notify and Delete
Administrators - Full control
Users - Read
To set the permission on this registry key:
Click the Start menu, select Run and type Regedit.
Go to the location HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Reliability.
From the Edit menu click Permissions.
Add the permissions for the accounts as listed above.
In addition, Exchange 2010 SP1 and SP2 are end of support.

Exchange Server 2010: Incoming mail not delivered

I have an Exchange Server 2010 Standard with all recent patches and updates.
-It has been in service for 3 years without any issues.
-There is plenty of hard drive space for the logs and the data (over 100GB in each)
-The current size of the mail database is 150GB
-There is no registry entry in place limiting the size of the database ([url="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb232092.aspx"]Database Size Limit in GB as outlined here[/url]
Starting a few days ago, incoming mail is reaching the server but not being delivered to user mailboxes. Internal mail works fine when this happens. Looking at the Queue Viewer doesn't show anything abnormal. The Submission Queue shows nothing.
It is only after I reboot the Exchange Server that the Submission queue will show all the messages waiting to be delivered and they will all be delivered successfully after the reboot. The event logs do not show any error messages.
The server will continue to run fine for a few hours and then the problem starts all over again.
What could be causing this?

Any 3rd party antivirus/anti-spam software installed on the server? If so, disable and test.

Exchange 2010 update after Update Rollup 5 for Exchange Server 2010 (KB2407113)

Mine exchange server 2010 standard has Update Rollup 5 for Exchange Server 2010 (KB2407113) as latest update.
Can someone help me which update i can install after this, can i start with
Update Rollup 1 for Exchange Server 2010 SP1.
Many thanks in advance

My recommendation will be:
Remove update roll-up 5
Install SP1 check that everything is working
Install SP2 check that everything is working
Install SP3 check that everything is working
I think it will be risky for you to go straight to SP3.

Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard "Certificate Authority Service" / Exchange Server 2010 EMC not starting and no AD connectivity for authentication.

Hello,
I am a new IT Manager at this company and need assistance big time. Their environment looks as follows:
Server 1. Domain Controller Server (Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard) running active directory.
Server 2. Email Server (Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard) running Exchange Server 2010 .
* Note. No back ups to work with aside from whats mentioned below.
DC had a virus infection causing a lot of issues on the shared network drives 2 days ago locking up all the files with a crypto ransom virus. Running Avast suppressed the infection. Had to recover the file shares which luckily had a back up.
The issue is that the Exchange Server 2 post this lost connectivity with the AD Server 1. Exchange Server 2 when launching EMC could not launch the console stating the following:
"No Exchange servers are available in any Active Directory sites. You can’t connect to remote
Powershell on a computer that only has the Management Tools role installed."
Shortly after I found that it is possible the EMC launcher was corrupt and needed to be reinstalled following another blog post. I deleted the exchange management console.msc per instructions only to discover I couldnt relaunch it because there was
no way how. So I copied another msc file that happened to be on the DC Server 1 back to Exchange Server 2 and got it to launch again.
Another post said that it might be an issue with the Domain Account for the Computer, so to delete it in the AD Server 1 only to find that rejoining it from Exchange Server 2 using Computer>Properties> Chage Settings > Change is greyed out because
it is using the Certificate Authority Service.
I tried manually re-adding the computer in AD and modeling permissions after another server in group settings but no go. After this I was unable to login to the Exchange Server 2 with domain accounts but only local admin, receiving the following Alert:
"The Trust Relationship between this workstation and primary domain failed."
I tried running the Power Shell tools on Exchange Server 2 to rejoing and to reset passwords for domain accounts as noted in some other blogs but no luck as the Server 2 could not make the connection with Server1 or other errors it kept spitting out.
I also during the investigation found the DNS settings were all altered on both the Server 1 and Server 2 which I luckily was able to change back to original because of inventorying it in the beginning when I started.
I need help figuring out if I need to rejoin the Exchange Server 2 manually by disabling the Certificate Authority Service (or removing the CA as listed here:
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/exchange/en-US/fb23deab-0a12-410d-946c-517d5aea7fae/windows-server-2008-r2-with-certificate-authority-service-to-rejoin-domain?forum=winserversecurity
and getting exchange server to launch again. (Mind you I am relatively fresh to server managing) Please help E-Mail has been down for a whole day now!

I recommend that you open a ticket with Microsoft Support before you break things more.

Upgrade directly from Exchange Server 2010 SP1 to Exchange Server 2010 SP3

Hi,
We have current setup with Exchange Server 2010 SP1 ( DAG & CAS Array with WNLB).
Can we upgrade directly from Exchange Server 2010 SP1 to
Exchange Server 2010 SP3 . ?
Thanks in Advanced.
Regards,Ali

Hi Ali,
Yes, you can. Please upgrade your Exchange 2010 SP1 server roles in the following order: Client Access, Hub Transport, Unified Messaging, Mailbox, Edge Transport. What's more, please note that when you install a Service Pack or update rollup on a server
that's a DAG member, several services will be stopped during the installation, including all Exchange services and the Windows Cluster service.

Exchange Server 2010 - Receive Connector for Client Computers

I have one customer with a SBS 2011 with Exchange Server 2010 - a pretty standard setup except for some customisation with Receive Connectors in order to cater for an application which is installed on a number of computers that requires to use an SMTP Server
to send notifications. In order to accomplish this (allow to be sent using Exchange Server) we added the IP Address of client computer (which we also set as a DHCP reservation) to a pre-configured Receive Connector (Anonymous setup for Printer/Scanner).
This worked fine, but we now find that there are other applications that require the same function to use SMTP to send.
How should/could this be better configured so an application can send if they authenticate?

Hi
For this you need to create a seperate receive connector to be used for Relay in your organizations.
Follow the below steps
1) Create a dedicated Relay Receive Connector
2) Add only the Ip addresses of the applications which needs to relay on Exchange servers
3) You can use either anonymous or authenticated relay according to your relay config
You can follow the below link as well

Windows Exchange Server 2010

After installation of Windows 2010 server.
can any one tell me...what are the next steps to work with Exchange Server 2010 ?
[email protected]

Hello friend,
first of all there is no version on windows server named "windows 2010 server"!!!!!
To install exchange server 2010, you can either install windows server 2008 standard/enterprise SP2 or windows server 2008 standard/enterprise R2 (actually its better to install w2k8 standard/enterprise R2 release to make the installation of exchange server
2010 easier). The server on which exchange will be installed should be part of a domain because exchange server works along with active directory
Here are the steps to follow for a successful exchange server 2010 installation:
Hardware requirements
-x64 architecture (Intel or AMD64)
-Quad core processor (minimum)
-8 GB RAM (minimum) if you want to combine the roles on one server
-2 GB HDD minimum
Software requirements
-w2k8 enterprise/standard R2 or w2k8 enterprise/standard service pack 2
-exchange server 2010 software
*Prerequisites for server 2008 standard/enterprise SP2
-Install the Microsoft.NET framework 3.5 SP1
-Install the .NET Framework 3.5 Family Update
-Install Windows Remote Management 2.0
-Install Powershell v2
-On Hub Transport & Mail Box servers install the Microsoft Filter Pack
-On Unified messaging server install server manager desktop experience
*Prerequisites for server 2008 standard/enterprise R2
-Install the Microsoft Filter Pack on Hub Transport and Mail Box server
-From PowerShell, type "Import-Module ServerManager"
-Use the Add-WindowsFeature cmdlet to type:
    Add-WindowsFeature NET-Framework, RSAT-ADDS, Web-Server, Web-Basic-Auth,
    Web-Windows-Auth, Web-Metabase, Web-Net-Ext, Web-Lgcy-Mgmt-Console, WAS-Process-Model,
    RSAT-Web-Server, Web-ISAPI-Ext, Web-Digest-Auth, Web-Dyn-Compression, NET-HTTP-Activation,
RPC-Over-HTTP-Proxy, Desktop-Experience-Restart
Note: If you are not using the Unified Messaging role you can remove Desktop Experience
After restarting, configure the TCP Port service to start automatically using: "Set-Service NetTcpPortSharing-StartupType Automatic".
Put the user account from which you performed the installation in the "Organization Management" group

SBS 2003 to 2011 Migration - Exchange Server 2010 cannot be installed

Hello,
We have a Small Business Server 2003 server that we are trying to migrate to SBS 2011 using the out of the box migration process. After the install, the SBS console showed a couple installation issues - the big one turned out to be "Exchange Server

I should add that the source server's AD configuration might not be perfect due to this being the second attempt at a SBS 2011 migration install.
I'd be grateful for any help I can get on this as SBS migration has been plauged with multiple setbacks already. I really need to get this done! ;)
Thanks,
Voon

Thank you Larry and Al for your replies.
I used the 'official' migration
guide plus this page (http://www.techieshelp.com/step-by-step-guide-to-migrating-to-sbs-2011/)
as my migration references. The SBS migration prep tool gave no errors on the source server when I ran it.
I have a full system drive image plus a a system state backup from before migration. Though I am very loathed to rollback the migration and attempt a new one - again. I will do some searching to see if I can resolve the Exchange server problem and continue
the migration/installation. If not, then its a system state restore for me. One of Al's links had a resource for doing a thorough check of AD - which something I'd run if I have to another migration attempt.
I am also really tempted to open up a paid MS support ticket for them to help me fix this problem. :)

Exchange server 2010 mail limitation

Hi,
We have exchange server 2010 cashub1 and cashub2
and also we have edge1 and edge2.
my requirement is, i want all the exchange user to set limit of internal and external as 10 MB, except just 5 to 10 user we need to set limit as 50MB.
Can you please assist and provide the step by step configuration to setup the requirements.
Thanks in advance.

Does that 50MB limit apply to messages to and from the internet as well?
If so, then here is an example of one way to do this:
I would set all the limits to 50MB including the organizational limits.
Then create a hub transport rule that rejects any message with an attachment over 10MB with a rejection message and code of your choosing except when to and from a Group that you create that contains those 5-10 users who need to send messages as large as
50MB.
and, as always, test this very well before implementing!

Exchange server 2010 DAG configuration

Dear Boss,
I would like to configure Exchange server 2010 with DAG . I have test lab . i would like to tell my test LAB setup .
One domain controller win-2008 X 64 Ent
Two Exchange server 2010 ( Role - Client Access, Mailbox) Each Server Two Network Cards with Different Classes
IP 192.168.44.50 , 51
IP 10.0.0.10 , 20
One Exchange server 2010 ( Role - Hub Transport )
IP 192.168.44.53
Pls tell me how can i create DAG
Note:- i would like to test below steps
1. Exchange server1 may be down or network link down how server 2 to work automatically without any disturbance
2. Exchange server2 may be down or network link down down how server 1 to work automatically without any disturbance
3. Hub transport server maybe down how it can be work ?
Regards
Subash

Hi Suriya,
To create a DAG, simply use the below commands from Exchange Management Shell:
New-DatabaseAvailabilityGroup -Name "DAGNAME" -WitnessServer HUBSERVERNAME
Add-DatabaseAvailabilityGroupServer –Identity DAGNAME -MailboxServer ExchangeServer1
Add-DatabaseAvailabilityGroupServer –Identity DAGNAME -MailboxServer ExchangeServer2
New-MailboxDatabase -Name DB1 -Server
ExchangeServer1
Add-MailboxDatabaseCopy -Identity DB1 -MailboxServer
ExchangeServer2
You can run your tests now, by restarting any of the servers, and you should be able to see the DB1 will automatically failover & failback between the nodes with out any intervention.
for the HUB transport you must have another server to achieve high availability, so you can install the HUB role on a different server or add it to one of your existing servers.
