Unable to install new Exchange server

Hello all,
The basics of this is that I had an exchange 2007 server install that went wrong and now there is an additional exchange server in ADSI edit. I have brought in a completely new server and gave it the same name. When I go to install exchange 2010
server, I get an error message. ""Some Controls aren't valid. The exchange server is in an inconsistent state. Only disaster recovery mode is available. Please use Setup/M:RecoverServer to recover this exchange server.""
I don't want to do a recovery since I am going on clean install on a newer version of Exchange. I have been told I can delete the server from ADSI edit, but I am unable to even logging in as the domain admin with exchange admin rights and schema rights.
If I right-click the server, there is no option at all for delete or remove. Am I stuck with changing the server name, or is there a way to get rid of the fubar install server and use the same name?
Thanks,
David

Taking this as a two step process, you first need to delete the Exchange server object from the configuration container (full path is: config container, Configuration, Services, Microsoft Exchange, your organization, Administrative Group, Exchange
Administrative Group (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT), Servers), then install the new Exchange 2010 server. So first, make your account an enterprise admin and Exchange admin and you should be able to delete the server object in ADSIEdit. This isn't a schema
modification, so those rights aren't necessary; and Exchange installs in the configuration container, so domain admin rights aren't needed. I'll add that you should be able to do this with only Exchange admin rights, but you've obviously tried that before.
Once you have deleted the server object, you should be able to install Exchange 2010 on the same server you had tried to install on before. Keep in mind that you will need to be Ent Admin, Schema Admin, and local admin on the server for the install.

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.

Problems with new exchange server

I have a brand new 2012 server running exchange 2013. Ever since we installed this exchange server, it has been a huge pain. We've had it up and running perfectly one day, then the next it constantly spits out issues from users about not being able to connect
to the proxy server. I've had times where OWA and ECP are accessible and functional, and times where they are not (blank page).
Most recent iteration of issues. This morning everything was working fine (and was for a few days minus the fact the clients would randomly disconnect for at most 10-15 seconds at a time before reconnecting). I left for lunch, and came back to all outlook
clients receiving a:
There is a problem with the proxy certificate. The name on the security certificate is invalid or does not match the name of the target.
I was also unable to log in to the OWA or the ECP. (would login, but give me a blank page).
After some research that led me to http://sumoomicrosoft.blogspot.de/2012/11/exchange-2013-emc-blank-page.html I was finally able to restore connectivity to the OWA and ECP. Fortunately there arent many users here today, so the only user around is
able to function off the OWA. However, this did not resolve the outlook clients.
It may be obvious, but I am not an exchange administrator. My boss sold them exchange 2013 because they demanded hosting onsite rather than through 365 and now Im having to deal with the fallout. If anyone with some exchange experience can give some advice,
I will give you all the information you ask to resolve this issue once and for all.

Well,this sounds like certificate issue.
First of all,if you are able to login to ecp please login and navigate to Servers - certificate.
Do you have only default certs?By default there is only 3 certs (if CAS and Mailbox is installed on same server)
If so,then you need to issue a new cert,either through 3rd part ( like godaddy ) or using domain CA to issue one.
Here is some guide: http://exchangeserverpro.com/create-ssl-certificate-request-exchange-2013/
Or if prefere VDO: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eukMn9F0I-8
Remember that name of the certificate MUST contain FQDN name of your exchange CAS servers.
Subject name should be the name of your domain.
Recomended is to use 3rd part certificate authority like godaddy.
When cert is created,check your iis that the new cert is bounded to the site (default web site) on your Exchange servers.

check out is there any watermark key in the registry - A watermark in the registry identifies where Setup failed. You will not have to answer the Exchange 2010 Setup wizard questions again when you resume a failed Setup. You can resume the failed install,

Our exchange server crashed and we lost all contact and calendar data. We found an app to get the contacts off of people's phone to import but can't find the same for calendar. How do I get my calendar info off my phone and in to new exchange server?

You'd have to think through this, but it seems like if you are using Outlook, and the items vanished from the Outlook client as well as the server,that you could re-populate Outlook using iTunes.

Unable to install the backup server using srvbuildres

I am unable to install the backup server with resource file
it gives weiored message which i didnot come across till now.

this is all in the backuplog and it fails saying unable to boot the server and task failed and backup server not started.
i see that the password encryption is not on i got that by running sp_helpserver <backupsever name>
the staus i got when i ran sp_helpserver is "timeouts, no net password encryption, writable , enable login redirection"
Please help me installing my backupserver.
many thanks in advance.

Please confirm that you're getting this error message while trying to CREATE the backupserver.
The reason I ask is because you mention seeing these messages in the backupserver errorlog, but you wouldn't be getting any messages in the backupserver errorlog unless you were able to successfully install a backupserver.
Also, what is your dataserver/backupserver version strings? (dataserver -v , backupserver -v)
A quick google search turns up Note 1963584:Open Server Error 16400 in ASE Backup Server log when dumping a database. [References SAP note 1963584.]
- same errors as you're seeing, but errors generated while attempting to perform a dump command (ie, backupserver has been installed and is up and running)
- appears to be an issue when "net password encryption" is enabled/true for SYB_BACKUP; if you have net password encryption enabled ... what happens if you disable it?

When updating to iOS 5.0.1. get the err -3259, thus unable to install new iOS. The message I receive goes: "THE NETWORK CONNECTION TIMED OUT. MAKE SURE YOUR NETWORK SETTINGS ARE CORRECT AND YOUR NETWORK CONNECTION IS ACTIVE, OR TRY AGAIN LATER."

Does anyone know how to solve this tiresome problem, please!?? The update is downloaded upto 723.5MB, and is required upto 723,6MB, then the error message pops out! Tnx.

I have a quick wifi connection (Mac shows it as about 35 megabits) but I couldn't get the 5.0.1 OTA to work, I had to do it via cable to my computer's iTunes - and as I was already on iOS 5 it was only a small download, basically the same size as the OTA size.
As the original poster is talking about a 730 meg download then I assume that they are still on iOS 4.3.5 or below and can therefore only download via their computer's iTunes - you need to be on iOS 5+ before you get the OTA option.

Unable to install new gnome icons.

For some reason I'm unable to install new icon themes in gnome. I download the tar file and extract it to the .icons folder, but when I go to the "customize theme" settings it doesn't have the new icons... This is the same way that I've installed new icons with every other distro, but for some reason it's not working here... Have I missed something?

No, but if you use PKGBUILD you wouldn't end up with a broken package.
@OP
Can you please post a link to the icon theme you are trying to use?

Some lazy people do ignore the packaging rules and provide broken icon packages, so just extracting the contents to .icons might not be enough. The real icons folder might be a sub-folder in the tar archive's root or something like that, and you need to cp that folder into .icons.
I've tried the drag 'n drop method as well, but when I drag my tarball in to the customize theme window, it doesn't stick, it just goes right back into the downloads folder.

HOW CAN I RESOLVE THIS. Even if I go onto the internet to update my software it does not allow me to.
Your urgent assistance is desperately needed. HELP :o)

Verify the version of Norton Anti-virus you have is 10.5.4 compatible.
Make sure your hard drive is less than 85% full (an arbitrary number which appears to create problems for Mac OS X)*:

Note running Norton Anti-virus on the Mac is normally something that's only needed to prevent you from becoming Typhoid Mary, more than prevent you from getting a Mac OS X virus, as there are none in the wild. There are some proof of concept trojan horses, but that's about it.

That one suggests the installer has gotten damaged during the download.
I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?
