Trouble removing Exchange Server 2013
Hello,
I installed a trial version of MS Exchange 2013 SP1 from a DELL Server. Tried to de-install it and get message that "mailbox database" can't be deleted. How do I get around this? I want to completely remove the product and start
over. I have tried 3 times to remove it with no success. Any help is appreciated.
Thx

Hi,
Great suggestion from Andy.
The Exchange Installations creates several "System Mailboxes" (Arbitration,Monitoring and Discover), you need to delete before you can uninstall your last Exchange 2013 Server.
I have listed them below and we can login to your Domain Controller and under the Active Directory Users and Computers --> Domain name --> Users, then delete them all and try again:
DISCOVERY MAILBOX
DiscoverySearchMailbox {D919BA05-46A6-415f-80AD-7E09334BB852}

Exchange Server 2013 Database not showing in ECP after removal of Exchange Server 2010
I recently complete the migration of my Exchange 2010 server to Exchange 2013. I then proceeded to uninstall the 2010 server using setup.com /m:uninstall. At the end of the process I received an error that it did not complete the uninstall.
I checked the server and Exchanged 2010 was removed. When I checked ECP on 2013 it still showed the old 2010 server listed. I used ADSI edit and manually removed the old sever.
Now when I log into 2013 ECP I only see the one serve but when I go into databases, none are listed. I check under the server itself and it shows the database that it is using but it is not listed under the database tab.
If I do a search under the database tab I can find it and adds it to the list. I can then open and view details.
My issue is, after I log out and then back in, I have to run the search to find the database again. In ideas on how to have it show up in the list like it did before I removed the 2010 Exchange server?
Thank you,Hi,
From your description, I recommend you verify the following things for troubleshooting:
1. Please make sure that AD replication is completely by checking the user object's homeMDB attribute. This value should contain the DN value of the Exchange Server 2013 mailbox database.
2. Wait 30 minutes for the cache on the Exchange Server 2013 Client Access Server to clear or restart the MSExchangeOWAAppPool on the Exchange Server 2013 Client Access Server.
For more information, here is a kb for your reference.

Exchange Server 2013 and Remote Access VPN on a single server running Windows Server 2012?
Just by way of background, I have been installing and administering network servers, e-mail systems, VPN servers, and the like for many years. However, my involvement with Exchange and Windows Server has been mostly on the forensics and data recovery
level, or as a (sophisticated) user. I have never tried to deploy either from scratch before. My deployment experiences have been mostly with Linux in recent years, and with small private or personal "servers" running such cutting edge
software as Windows XP back when it was new. And even NetWare once.
When a client asked me if I could set up a server for his business, running Exchange Server (since they really want Outlook with all of its bells and whistles to work, particularly calendars) and providing VPN access for a shared file store, I figured it
could not be too difficult given that its a small business, with only a few users, and nothing sophisticated in the way of requirements. For reasons that don't bear explaining here, he was not willing to use a vendor hosting Exchange services or cloud
storage. There is no internal network behind the server; it is intended to be a stand-alone server, hanging off a static IP address on the Internet, providing the entirely mobile work-force of about 10 people with Exchange-hosted e-mail for their computers
and phones, a secure file store, and not much else. If Exchange didn't need it, I would not need to install Active Directory, for example. We have no direct need for its services.
So I did the research and it appears, more by implication than outright assertion, that I should be able to run Windows Server 2012 with Exchange Server 2013 on a server that also hosts Remote Access (VPN only) and does nothing else. And it appears
I ought to be able to do it without virtualizing any of it. However, I have spent the last three or four days fighting one mysterious issue after another. I had Remote Access VPN working and fairly stable very quickly (although it takes a very
long time to become available after the server boots), and it has mostly remained reliable throughout although at times while installing Exchange it seems to have dropped out on me. But I've always been able to get it back after scrounging through the
logs to find out what is bothering it. I have occasionally, for a few minutes at a time, had Exchange Server willing to do everything it should do (although not always everything at the same time). At one point I even received a number of e-mails
on my BlackBerry that had been sent to my test account on the Exchange Server, and was able to send an e-mail from my BlackBerry to an outside account.
But then Exchange Server just stopped. There are messages stuck in the queues, among other issues, but the Exchange Administration Center refuses now to display anything (after I enter my Administrator password, I just get a blank screen, whether on
the server or remotely).
So, I am trying to avoid bothering all of you any more than I have to, but let me just begin with the basic question posed in the title: Can I run Exchange Server (and therefore Active Directory and all of its components) and Remote Access (VPN only) on
a single Windows Server 2012 server? And if so, do I have to run virtual machines (which will require adding more memory to the server, since I did not plan for it when I purchased it)? If it can be done, can anyone provide any pointers on what
the pitfalls are that may be causing my problems? I am happy to provide whatever additional information anyone might like to help figure it out.
Thanks!An old thread but I ran into this issue and thought I share my solution since I ran into the same issue. Configuring VPN removes the HTTPS 443 binding on the Default Site in IIS for some strange reason; just go and editing the bindings, add HTTPS and things
should be back to normal. -
Exchange Server 2013 setup / coexistance Exchange 2010
So started setting up Exchange 2013 and ran into a random issue regarding the OAB. Resolved by deleting/recreating the OAB in Exchange 2010.
My issue now is setup will not complete, just tells me an "Incomplete Installation Detected" starts to resume the installation. Upon "next" I receive just a hanging screen of "Setup Progress" which goes no where.

Let's try the following resolutions:
1. Check if the discovery SearchMailbox is present on Exchange 2010 when you run the Exchange 2013 Install.
2. Reinstall your Exchange 2013 server:
Open ADSIEDIT, CN=Configuration, DC=your domain ->CN=Services ->CN=Microsoft Exchange ->CN=First Organization ->CN=Administrative Groups ->Cn=Exchange Administrative Group ->CN=Servers ->CN=Server name
After remove the exchange server, please reinstall your exchange server to test the result.
Thanks,

Exchange Server 2013 Update from to CU3 to CU8 stuck, Exchange completely down
Hello,
We tried to update a Exchange 2013 server to CU8 because we needed support from Microsoft (certificate revoked, so OWA not working anymore) and they could only help us after updating to CU8 first. The problem is that the update got stuck and now Exchange
is not working at all anymore. Since it is a production enviroment and there is mail in all outboxes we do not want to turn back to a snapshot but solve the problem and continue the update. Any help is welcome because all mail is down now :-(
The error we received at the Exchange Server is:

This error is concern about WMSVC certificate which was deleted, we could refer to the following steps:
1- Go to IIS Manager and select server certificate,
2- Select “Create Self-Signed Certificate”,
3- For Server 2012 in the Friendly Name Field type: WMSVC and select the personal (certificate Store),
4- Now go to ” Management Service”,
5- From SSL Certificate choose the newly create “WMSVC” Self-Signed Certificate,
6- Apply,
7- Now start service of “Web Management service”.

Exchange Server 2013: Installation fails
Migrating SBS 2008 to Windows Server 2012 R2 (no virtualization) and Exchange Server 2013 SP1
(1) ADprep on SBS 2008 went fine
(2) Installed necessary feature for Exchange (website “Part 1: Step-by-Step Exchange 2007 to 2013 Migration”)
A) the first time I installed Exchange 2013, the setup succeeded, however there were several ecp/WinRM errors.
B) restored Windows Server 2012 R2 to the state (2). Removed from AD (ADSI Edit)
… CN=Services; CN=Exchange; CN=First Organization; CN=Exchange Administrator Group; CN=Servers
delete new Win 2012 server
Run Exchange setup again:
The following error was generated when "$error.Clear();
if ($RoleStartTransportService)
start-SetupService -ServiceName MSExchangeTransport -MaxWaitTimeForRunningState 0:0:40
" was run: "Service 'MSExchangeTransport' failed to reach status 'Running' on this server.".
Checked:
- IPv6 is enabled, but was setup correctly after installing ADDS role)
- Administrators (Group) is a member of the Exch. Trusted Subsystem
Probably there is an AD problem, after the restoration (B) (bare metal) of the Win 2012 server.
Please help!
FulcoHi
the error states that the MSExchangeTransport service failed to start. Can you manually try starting the service and then run the setup again?

Exchange Server 2013 SP1 Standard: Installation failing can't progress
I'm trying to install Exchange Server 2013 and I keep getting this error and I am unable to progress, I can't find any support on the issue and frankly I don't want to/can't afford to spend $500 to ask Microsoft for technical support (what kind of racket
do they think they're running?).
The error message:

Yet, I see no PushNotifications virtual directory or anything remotely related to that on IIS or in the inetpub folders and files. If I try to resume the set-up after this error I get:

Outlook 2010 Exchange Server 2010 to Exchange Server 2013 Features
Hi All
We have recently upgraded from Exchange Server 2003 to Exchange Server 2010. We are using the Outlook 2010 (32 bit) email client. When mailboxes were moved on to the new server various features inside the system were activated. For email Internal Out of
Office Messages, External Out of Office Messages, notifications in the email recipient bar when creating emails if the user was out of office.
What new features would be available with Outlook 2010 (32 bit) and Exchange 2013. And are they dependent on the Office Service Pack?
Kind Regards
Please note that I have previously posted this in another forum but was advised to post here in this forum.Hi,
I find your post on Office forum:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/fc538968-212c-411c-8ce8-0ef1d7acfcca/outlook-2010-exchange-server-2010-to-exchange-server-2013-features?forum=outlook
The Steve's answer is comprehensive, great links on Exchange 2013 new features and removed features.
About "And are they dependent on the Office Service Pack?", I will give the answer.
Based on my knowledge, when new SP releases, it include enhancements in security and compliance, architecture and administration, and user experiences.
For example, Exchange 2013 SP1, it connects to Outlook 2013 SP1 via MAPI over HTTP.
If you want to know more about the Exchange new features, please see Exchange Team Blog.
Find blog about SP1 for your reference:

Exchange Server 2013 Content Index is in "Unknown" state.
Hi Experts,
We have two Exchange Server 2013 CU3 installed in our customer premises 6 months back on top of Windows Server 2012 OS.
From last week, we are getting the content index status as "Unknown" while checking the "Get-Mailboxdatabasecopystatus".
We have tried to reseed the database by using "update-mailboxdatabasecopy -identity <db> -deleteexistingfiles then we came to know the server is not responding on port 3863.
Attached image is for your reference.
Need support from experts to resolve at the earliest.
Regards,
Santhosh
Santhosh Sivaraman MCITP: Microsoft Exchange Server 2007/2010 | MCSE/MCSAHi,
I had the same issue and was able to solved by recreate the search index component on the mailbox servers
Recreate the Search Foundation from scratch
Stop and disable the search services and rename the Data Folder "C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\Bin\Search\Ceres\HostController\Data"
Open power shell and navigate to C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\Bin\Search\Ceres\Installer
Run the command : .\installconfig.ps1 -action I -dataFolder "c:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\Bin\Search\Ceres\HostController\Data"
Output should be like
[PS] C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\Bin\Search\Ceres\Installer>.\installconfig.ps1 -action I -dataFolder "C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\Bin\Search\Ceres\HostController\Data"
Configuring Search Foundation for Exchange....
Successfully configured Search Foundation for Exchange
Rename the Index files for the database that are active on the node .
Start the Search Services
Removed a configuration entry that refers to the ContentSubmitters group. This entry is present in four XML files. Each file is called WcfConfigurator.
you can find each file in the following folder:
%ExchangeInstallPath%\Bin\Search\Ceres\HostController\Data\Nodes\Fsis\NODENAME\Configuration\Local
Here, “%ExchangeInstallPath%” is the Exchange installation root path, and the placeholder NODENAME represents one of the following names. (There is one name for each of the four files that are to be edited.)
AdminNode1
ContentEngineNode1
IndexNode1
InteractionEngineNode1
These are text files. You can use Notepad or any other convenient plain text editor to change them. Make sure that you make only the change that is described here.
Each file contains at most one line that contains the following: <AuthorizedRole>ContentSubmitters</AuthorizedRole>
Remove this line, and then save the file. Repeat this operation for each of the four files, and then restart the Microsoft Exchange Search Host Controller service.
Found the Index files in Crawling state as expected instead of Unknown.
Once all the Active copies are healthy and still the copies in failed and suspended state, then you can reseed the catalog files only using the below command
Update-MailboxDatabaseCopy -Identity BD\MBserver –CatalogOnly
Good Luck..

New Exchange Server 2013 in a Exchange 2007 Org, can't get cu's to install
Hi,
We have an Exchange Server 2007 in our organization. I installed an Exchange Server 2013 but could not get the CU3 to install, would throw exceptions. I tried CU2 and it got a lot further but failed to start a service near the end. Don't ask for specifics
as I got frustrated and blew this machine away and installed a fresh VM. I read that you can install the CU's as if they are a fresh installation. I tried this but it fails saying "the Exchange server is in an inconsistant stet....recover". There
IS no Exchange server yet!!
What am I doing wrong? I used the command line for CU3, like: setup /mode:install /roles:ca,mb,mt /IAccept blah blah blah. I didn't set powershell execution policy, not sure if that was it. Are there switches I am missing? I want to see if I can install
the Exchange CU3 right from the get-go.
HeLp!Hi,
According to the error message, this issue may occur if the previous Exchange installation or un-install failed to complete. This situation leaves the Exchange server
object in Active Directory and prevents a new installation.
We can try:
1. Install ADSI Edit.
2. Launch ADSI Edit. To do this, click Start, click Run, type adsiedit.msc in the text box, and then click OK.
3. Locate the Exchange server object by going to the following location: CN=Configuration, DC= Domain Name, DC=com, CN=Services, CN=Microsoft Exchange, CN=<Organization
Name>, CN=Administrative Groups, CN= <Exchange Administrative Group>, CN=Servers, CN=<Server Name>.
4. Delete the server object.
5. Remove the Exchange server's machine account from Security groups Exchange Servers and Exchange Install Domain Servers.

Folders Exist After Installing Exchange Server 2013
Hi,
We installed Exchange Server 2013 SP1 a while ago and noticed two directories were created:
D:\MonitoringDiagnosticLogs\MSExchangeHMHost (Contains a file called MSExchangeHMHost20141231-1)
and
D:\TransportRoles\Logs\SyncHealth\Hub
I also noticed the second folder is addressed in Cumulative Update 5.
I have the following questions:
1. Does applying CU5 remove the second directory? If not, is it safe for me to delete this directory?
2. What about the first directory? How do I get rid of that? Is it safe for me to delete it?
3. If I cannot get rid of the two directories is it safe for me to create a new partition, move the directories to it, and mark it as D:\ so the path remains the same?
Thanks for the help!Hi,
Based on my research, the two additional directories are created on this D:\ drive during installation of Exchange 2013 automatically:
D:\MonitoringDiagnosticLogs\MSExchangeHMHost
D:\TransportRoles\Logs\SyncHealth
Currently, there is no official document about this issue. Since it will not cause any issue, you can leave it there.
We will wait for the official explanation of the issue. We highly appreciate your kindly understanding and patience.

Cannot install Exchange server 2013
hey,
I'm trying to install exchange server 2013 on windows server 2012 and I getting this error :
One or more servers in the existing organization are running Exchange 2000 Server or Exchange Server 2003. Installation can't proceed until all Exchange 2000 or Exchange 2003 servers are removed.
Warning:
Cannot find the Recipient Update Service responsible for domain 'DC=Nesstr,DC=com'. New and existing users may not be properly Exchange-enabled.
Now, I think before I got here there was exchange server 2003 in virtual machine but I cant find the vm, probably someone has deleted the vm without uninstall the exchange properly and maybe this is the problem.
anyone suggestion what to do next ?
best Regards,
Idan keshetHi Idan,
We need to do these steps to connect to Configuration:
1. Open ADSI Edit.
2. Right-click ADSI Edit, select Connect to… .
3. In Connection Point, Select a well known Naming Context > Configuration.
4. Click OK.
Thanks,

Exchange Server 2013 installer will not start or complete
Hello,
I am trying to MS Exchange Server onto a Windows Server 2012R2 with Active Directory network. I had started an installation process and it shot out a list of pre-requisites that server need before it can attempt to install. I fulfilled every pre-requisite.
Rebooted the server. Now whenever I attempt another installation process again. It starts, gathers information, and quits with event log:
Windows Installer installed the product. Product Name: Microsoft Exchange Server. Product Version: 15.0.516.32. Product Language: 1033. Manufacturer: Microsoft Corporation. Installation success or error status: 0.
MS Exchange Server is not listed in Programs and Features to even remove, is it a faulty Microsoft Installer? I have already rebooted numerous times to no avail.
EDIT: Here's a copy of the MSI log, I couldn't find anything to indicate what's going wrong myself, http://pastebin.com/LwCAimuFHi,
I've downloaded (as per instructions above):
Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 Service Pack 1 (SP1)
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=41994
Again, the installer repeats the same behavior as before, right now I am running a repair tool on .Net repair tool.
New log http://pastebin.com/SDynMaDe
Edit: Looks like there's long list of issues trying to fulfill Exchange Pre Requisite.
Windows Management Framework 4.0
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40855
"The certificate for the signer of the message is invalid or not found"
It would probably be best to re-install Windows Server again
