Hi,
Any update about the issue?
In-place upgrade is not possible. According to the MS article:
When you're upgrading your existing Exchange 2007 organization to Exchange 2013, there's a period of time when Exchange 2007 and Exchange 2013 servers will coexist within your organization. You can maintain this mode for an indefinite period of time, or
you can immediately complete the upgrade to Exchange 2013 by moving all resources from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013, and then decommissioning the Exchange 2007 servers. You have a coexistence scenario if the following conditions are true:
Exchange 2013 is deployed in an existing Exchange organization.
More than one version of Microsoft Exchange provides messaging services to the organization
Upgrade from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013

Install problem Exchange SP3 on SBS 2008

I'm unable to install Exchange SP3 on SBS 2008 running Exchange 2007 SP2. I get the following error message:
Failed to initialize the logfile: Access to the path C:\ExchangeSetupLogs\ExchangeSetup.log is denied.
Setup will not continue.
Can anybody tell me how to solve this issue?
Tom.

Hi Tom,
From your error description, I recommend you do the following steps for troubleshooting:
1. Please ensure you run the setup as a local admin at first.
2. Please disable UAC and then install Exchange 2007 SP3. We cannot install Exchange 2007 while UAC is enabled.
Hope it helps.
If you need further assistance, please feel free to let me know.

Upgrading Exchange 2013 to SP1

I have 3 Exchange 2013 servers in my environment. Each server is a CAS and Mailbox server. Each server is also setup in a DAG. I want to update them to SP1 and am a little confused on the upgrade process. Can I just install SP1 on one server at a time
or do I need to make special considerations on which server gets upgraded first? What about the DAG? Thanks.

Hi Will,
Before you install the SP1 you should consider:
Make sure that you have a valid and tested backup of you Exchange Server, Mailbox Database(s) and Active Directory
Make sure that all third-party vendors that you use on your environment support the Service Pack 1
Make sure that there are no backup jobs running the upgrade process
Stop all backup services; and third-party services, such as System Center Operations Manager and so forth
Make sure that you don’t have any pending restart due Windows Updates and/or previous roles/features installed on the server
If you have a DAG then it is important to put the server in maintenance mode
For further info in performing maintenance on DAG Members
here
After all considerations you should update to SP1 after you download it you can run the update from command line o run the setup.
Hope it helps.

Installing / Upgrading Exchange 2013 to Exchange 2010 with a o365 Hybrid environment

Hi
I am trying to install a new server with Exchange 2013 on an environment with an existing Exchange 2010 Sp3. Reason for that is that I have a o365 hybrid environment and need to disconnect my on-line and on-premise e-mail connection. I want to completely
run all my mailboxes on o365 no-longer dependent on on-premise exchange but the Exchange 2010 doesn't have a functionality to 'dismantle' the hybrid.. we need to have exchange 2013.
When I try to install Exchange 2013 I get an error message that I need to upgrade my o365 tenant. : my o365 tenant version is : AdminDisplayVersion : 0.20 (15.1.49.12) :IsUpgradingOrganisation : False.
Is there a better way of updating my environment.
Regards

Post the error from setup log for more information.

How to upgrade Exchange 2013 host OS to Server 2012 R2

Currently in our environment we have Exchange 2013 (Client Access and Mailbox on one server) (no service pack) built on Server 2012 machine. I'd like to rebuild the Exchange server on a new Server 2012 R2 machine. Are there any automated tools for transferring
client access configuration(accepted domains, connectors, etc) and can I just unmount the databases from the current server and mount them on the new, or do i have to create new mailbox databases and migrate the mailboxes? Do you guys know any tutorials for
this scenario? Thanks in advance!

Hi,
You need to setup a new Exchange 2013 SP1 or later version on Windows server 2012 R2 at first.
Secondly, migrate all the mailboxes from old Exchange 2013 to the new Exchange 2013.
Thirdly, change the mail flow.
At last, when everything is ok on new Exchange 2013, you can decommission the old Exchange.
For more information, here is a thread about migration from Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013 for your reference.

SBS 2008 to Exchange 2013 - "Create legacy Exchange host name"... Single External IP?

Migrating a customer to Exchange 2013 from SBS 2008.
Once of the Pre-reqs is to setup an external A record for legacy.customer.com for the external IP address of the old Exchange server.
The customer only has a single external IP address...
So what do I do for this external DNS of legacy.customer.com?

Hi Allister -
You shouldn't need an EXTERNAL dns entry for legacy. Here's how it works:
Client from outside -> External IP to Exchange 2013 (now here's where the interesting thing happens)
Exchange auto-magically proxies mailboxes on the old environment. Reason being: New Exchange Servers always know how to get to old servers. You just change all the internal URLs to legacy. (or you can even do oldmail., whatever you like) and since this information
is inside AD, Ex2013 will find it.
These are the URLs you need to change in 2007/2010
ClientAccessServer
webservicesvirtualdirectory
oabvirtualdirectory
owavirtualdirectory
ecpvirtualdirectory
ActiveSyncVirtualDirectory
AutodiscoverVirtualDirectory You can read more on how to set these here:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/5163.managing-exchange-2010-externalinternal-url-s-via-powershell.aspx
Here's the Million dollar question though: being SBS 2008, does this have exchange 2007 or 2010 on it? If it's 2010, you don't need the legacy namespace anymore. 2007, you do. Connect to https://ex2013server/owa and log into a mailbox on the 2010 environment.
If you can get there (you'll know cause it flipped over to a 2010 interface) then it's working.
A wise man is a fool, with a good memory.

Upgrade of Exchange 2013 SP1 Reboots Server During Step 3 "Copy Exchange Files"

While upgrading Exchange 2013 to the new SP1, the installer reaches step 3, "Copying Exchange Files", sits at 0% for 10-15 minutes and then when without warning the machine will reboot.
The last couple logs from ExchangeSetup.log are:

Outlook 2010 Will Not Connect to Exchange 2007 on SBS 2008 Server

Good Morning,
I have a user who cannot connect to the exchange server on SBS 2008 with outlook 2010. When they start outlook, it shows disconnected and will not connect for a minimum of 20 minutes to an hour. Any suggestions on how to fix this would be appreciated.
I have rebuilt their profile, but that does not fix the issue.
Thank you,
Lee F.
Lee Feldman SMB Consultant

Hi,
Thanks for posting in the forum.
Regarding the current issue, since you have recreated the user profile without any issue, I suspect that it’s mainly caused by the network issue. At this time, please first check the TCP/IP
configurations as Larry mentioned. Then, please also refer to the article below for details about how to troubleshoot Outlook connectivity issue.

Exchange 2013 CU5 , Exchange Power Shell very very very slow reasponse when using get command.

Exchange 2013 CU5 , Exchange Power Shell very very very slow reasponse when using get command.
First my organize has Exchange on 2 site like
site A (internet facing) : 2CAS 2 MB all are Services pack1
site B (DR Site , no user active on this site) : 2CAS 2MB all are Services pack 1
so today I upgrade Exchange 2013 from SP1 to CU5 start on "site B" and I found this issue and the details is....
When I open EMS on any CU5 for query something (like get-mailboxdatabasecopystatus) the response return very slow and some query will not return at all (like get-owavirtualdirectory).
But If I using EMS on SP1. Everything is ok then I try to use EMS on SP1 connect to CU5 and try to query something. the result is
some query command cannot return for any result that are server on siteB (just some query command)
Problem
EMS on CU5 return very slow result.
EMS on SP1 still ok.
Does anyone face this problem before for CU5??? Please help me figure this out. Thank you
reply from Social.technet

Hi,
Have you used the above cmdlets to check your Exchange server health?
"all other command that I ran on EMS didn't logged on event viewer.", my environment is the same with you. I use Exchange 2013, only errors will be displayed in MSExchange Management. Actually, it is not related to slow EMS response.
Hope it helps.

Migration Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013 in a different site

Hi all, I have
an Exchange 2010 with these characteristics
Site A
- 2 Servers DAG for mailboxes
- 2 Servers Client Access and
Hub Transport in Microsoft
NLB
- 2 Domain Controllers Windows
Server 2008 R2
I want to upgrade to Exchange 2013 but in another
Site, Site B. When the migration is complete,
the mail system will only be in Site
B.
The connection between Site A and Site
B is a reliable connection.
Is there any problem to upgrade Exchange 2013
to another Site, other than Site
A?

It is like any other Migration (Same Forest) You just need to make sure that AD is been replicated from Site A (Exchange 2010) to Site B (Exchange 2013).
No Network or replication issue between the sites. Having more than 1 DC on Site B would be good idea.
Once you have all these set, rest of the things are same.
Extend the AD Schema.
Deploy the Exchange Server 2013 CU6
Create the Cert request for 2013.
Install Cert on Exchange 2013.
Configure the Virtual Directories for Exchange 2013.
Test the Coexistence between 2010 and 2013.
Perform the Cutover from 2010 to 2013.
Test the Cutover and start the Test migration phase.
Once the test phase is fine, start the full fledge migration.
Move Mailbox and Public Folder Database.

Exchange 2013 CU3 and Firefox 26.0

I upgraded Exchange 2013 to CU3 last night. I tested the mail flow and everything worked fine sending and recieving. The problem that I am having is with OWA in firefox 26.0 (currently newest version). I get weird graphical glitches when
OWA first loads. Once you click around the display stabilizes but the biggest problem is that not all of the emails are displayed in a folder. I have a folder with a bunch of system data emails that are collected throughout the day and in firefox
I can see ~20 while in IE 9 I can see them all. The inbox also has 5 emails in it but there is a scroll bar that is completely unnecessary in firefox but not IE 9. Do you have any thoughts on this? Thank you in advance.

There's no way, as there's nothing wrong with the server.
You will have to wait for the update from Firefox to get it fixed.
It's purely Browser issue As I said before.

Exchange 2013 with CU3 and silent redirection to different AD site

After updating
Exchange 2013 CU2 to Exchange 2013 CU3, OWA silent site redirection feature become not available. The customer has two Exchange 2013 sites. Before we updated to CU3, user whose mailbox located on site A, could be automatically redirected to OWA on
site A, after he logged on to OWA on site B. IE gives Error page and bring out link to the OWA page on site A. Here is screenshot about issue workaround.
Hopefully someone will help with some hint because it is quite anoying.
All other stuff works good, Outlook anywhere, autodiscover, only this remained.
Thanks in advance,
Fajar

Hi Angela,
According to your description, OWA request cannot be automatically redirected after upgrade.
YESS after upgrade Exchange 2013 CU2 to CU3. CU2 not problem.
1. Will OWA work well if you manually click the OWA URL in the web page?
If i click manual, OWA Url in web page, OWA work well...
PS Command "Get-OWAVirtualDirectory | fl CrossSiteRedirectType"
ONLY HAVE ON EXCHANGE 2010 NOT ON EXCHANGE 2013.
2. Do you can login OWA in site A?
My Mailbox on Site-A, if i login OWA Site A (owa-A.domain.com), OWA work well & i can access my email.
But... if i login from OWA Site-B (owa-B.domain.com), OWA not automatic silent redirect to Site-A, and i must click link below "Use following link to open to mailbox with the best performance https://owa-a.domain.com/owa/auth.owa
My friend Mailbox on Site-B, if he login to OWA Site B (owa-B.domain.com), OWA-B work well & he can access email.

3. Check the IIS log on site B CAS server and find if there is any error about the redirection.
whether there is a bug in CU3?
Hopefully someone will help with some hint because it is quite anoying on our custommer.

Cannot Adding Mailbox Server for Database Copy for Exchange 2013 SP1

Before I upgraded to 2013 SP1 everything works find but after I upgrade to SP1 I cannot add database copy. the details are...
I have 2 sites
Site 1 : 4 Mailboxes (Mailbox01,Mailbox02,Mailbox03,Mailbox04)   + 2 CAS
Site 2 : 2 Mailboxes (Mailbox05,Mailbox06)   + 2 CAS (just for standby site)
So I have 2 DAG group  (6 Mailboxes separate to 3 Mailboxes for 1 DAG group Mailbox01,Mailbox02,Mailbox05 for DAG1 and Mailbox03,Mailbox04,Mailbox06 for DAG2)
After I upgrade Exchange 2013 to SP1 , I try to create new database on Mailbox01 and after that I try to add mailbox02 and mailbox05 to database copy of new database that I created.
"Mailbox05 can added to be database copy but Mailbox02 cannot add database copy for it , Error "Network path not found" occur" but Im very sure that path is the same for each mailbox database server.
so I try to create new database on Mailbox 03 and add database copy on mailbox04 and mailbox06.... the result is the same only Mailbox06 can add mailbox copy of database.
It look like I cannot have 2 mailbox in site 1 for database copy of each new database (I already try to create new database on Mailbox 02 and add database copy on mailbox01 and mailbox05 , the result is only mailbox05 can be database copy of database).
Please help me to fix this out.

Hi,
I recommend you check if the Remote Registry service is running on Mailbox01, Mailbox02, Mailbox03 and Mailbox04. If not, please start it and then add mailbox database copy to check the result.
Best regards,
Belinda
