User Migration from Parent Domain to Child Domain..The user is enabled with Exchange 2010 Mailbox in Parent Domain

We currently have a single Windows 2008 R2 Active Directory domain controller, and an Exchange 2010 server. We are in the process of adding a child domain on a second Active Directory server for an offsite office location for a subdivision of our company.
The two locations will be connected via VPN.
Currently users exist on the root domain with Exchange accounts who will be moving to the new offsite company/location. We would like to be able to move these user accounts to the child domain while maintaining their existing Exchange mailboxes and
email addresses. Is this possible, and if so how would we do it?

Hi Srinivasa,
According to your description, I think you have done all the preparation.
For DL migration, the following article may give your some hints:

What cable do I need in order to migrate from Macbook Pro (December 2008) to the new Macbook Pro with Retina display?

It's driving me crazy; I have a firewire, but it isn't compatible with the ports on the new macbook pro with retina display.
Thanks for your help!

Migrating from 2003 domain/forest level to 2008R2 with all DC's at 2008R2 and 2 other Domain External and Forest Trusts

Is there anything that needs to be done or considered when migrating from 2003 domain/forest level to 2008R2 with all DC's at 2008R2 with 2 other 2003 separate Domain incoming
and outgoing Trusts, one Trust that is a Forest Trust and the other is an External Trust? Is there any chance or risks that doing this upgrade will break either one of these Trust relationships? Some of the user accounts with SID history have been migrated
from both Domain Trusts to our domain. Any chance that this upgrade will break these relationships for users that are using SID history for access to folders and files in their old Domains? If so what can be done to protect these trusts and SID history, prior
to moving the Domain to 2008R2

Hi,
Based on my knowledge,
the Upgrade of the function level do not affect the trust relationship.
Besides, before you upgrade the Functional Level,
verify that all DCs in the domain are, at a minimum, at the OS version to which you will raise the functional level.
Once the Functional Level has been upgraded, new DCs on running on downlevel versions of Windows Server cannot be added to the domain or forest.
For more information about function level, we can refer to following links:

Domain Migration :from single domain to multiple domain.

Hi ,
We have an urgent requirement for the domain migration
The scenario is currently we are using MS AD as LDAP server to store portal users and thier credentials.
Lets say we have current domain name as : ad.abc.com
we are planning to migrate from this domain to number of domains.our requirement is to move the portal users into thier specific domain in batches.eg out of 5 users 2 has been moved to new domain and other 3 are still in ad.abc.com.
But after domain migration ,all the 5 users <b>should</b> be able to access all the applications and functionality of portals.
What should we do to achieve the same?
How portal applications will be affected by this?Can all the users access all applications without fail?
What exactly the LDAP does in portals?
Any help will be greatly appreciated
Thanks in Advance

Hi,
Yes, you need to prepare Active Directory and domains.
What's more, you need to upgrade existing Exchange 2007 servers to Exchange 2007 Service Pack 2 at least.

hi GK
When u delete the request in ODS or CUBE u want to delete the available data on those targets.
For deleting the datas in the targets u just right click on the ods or cube and give delete data so that if there is a data in the target it gets deleted. this is the main step u want to do when u reconstrcut the request and after doing this u can direclty schedule data to the target.
In targets after completing the data transfer process activate it to get that data in report also. dont forget to do this
In psa level there is no problem u can go and directly delete the request.

I am about to migrate from iMac (10.5.8) to the newest iMac. What is the OS version needed on the source mac to migrate to the new mac?

When I tried migrating from iMac (10.5.8) to the newest iMac the target mac said I needed the latest OS on the source mac. I will install Snow Leopard on the source mac, will this do the trick? Or do I need to install Mountain Lion?

I would forget about using any Migration system as all older programs you have on the older Mac, all PowerPC programs, won't work or migrate to the new system. Just network them over your home LAN and Copy your personal files over to the new Mac.
But if you are Dead Set on using the Migration systems then the old Mac will need Snow Leopard installed.

If anyone could offer any help it'd be much appreciated, it's going to take several days to migrate my remaining 2010 users to 2013 which is causing a lot of use complaints.

Hi Seb,
Try the following please.
1- Remove the existing assigned mailbox permission from the mailbox.
2- Assign the permission (Add-MailboxPermission) with -AutoMapping value set to $false.
3- Launch Outlook. Then add the mailbox manually as an additional mailbox from the Account Settings. (Access to the mailbox by only following this step would also work but your user's then will have the same mailbox displayed twice hence
step 1 & 2)

Uploading photo from Lync client with Exchange 2010

We are using Lync 2013 standard edition with Exchange 2010 in our environment.
In the client, if we go to Tools -> Options -> My Picture, the option to "Edit or Remove Picture" is greyed out.
I understand this is only available if we're on Exchange 2013, but someone somewhere must have figured out a workaround for this? Anyone know a reg-hack or 3rd party tool that would enable this feature?
I realize there is a method to turn back on the "Show a picture from a website" via powershell. I have already done this in our environment. However it is quite unrealistic to expect general populace to know how to resize a picture to less than
30kb (?!) and upload it "somewhere" on the web. Understandably this would be a nightmare for Help Desk having to help people resize their photos and find somewhere to upload it to.
Any help/ideas would be appreciated!

You could centrally upload profile photos for your users into the AD's thumbnailPhoto attribute using...
powershell:
http://blogs.technet.com/upload-picture
3rd party software:
http://www.codetwo.com/freeware/active-directory-photos/
http://www.cjwdev.co.uk/Software/ADPhotoEdit/Info.html
Lync client side upload into Exchange 2010 will not be possible as Exchange 2013 introduced HD photo and storing photos in the mailbox. Take a look at: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj688150.aspx

File associations are lost when user account is migrated from one domain to another domain (SID changes)

Hello,
Currently we are in the middle of a migration project. We are migrating users from child domains to the root domain of one organization.
The user accounts are migrated with powershell using Move-ADObject cmdlet. This works as expected. The SIDHistory attribute is updated correctly.
Recently we received complaints from some *migrated* users - they lost their default/custom file associations. This happens only on Windows 8/Windows 8.1.
What happens:
the user is migrated and logs on
her profile loads and everything's preserved (as expected)
the user clicks on a .jpeg file (previously associated with program XYZ)
OS asks the user to choose a program to open the file with
the user chooses a default program XYZ and the file opens
when the user clicks on a .jpeg file again - OS asks to choose a program again
i.e. the settings are not preserved.
Our investigation shows that it is connected with the UserChoice registry key and the HASH value under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.SomeExt
According to this blog
the HASH is calculated based on user's SID. But after the migration the user has new SID and the HASH becomes invalid and we hit this:
"However In Win 8, the registry changes are verified by a hash (unique per user and app) that detects tampering by apps. In the absence of a valid hash, we ignore the default in the registry."
Currently deleting the UserChoice key for all associations solves the problem. But the user has to make all her customizations again which is undesirable.
Is there any supported way to fix this? Why the OS doesn't update the HASH after the first logon when the SID has changed as it updates the SID for the ProfileList key?
This could become big issue in large migrations.

Hello Petar K. Georgiev,
Please check the following article to change the registry key to change back to the default file type associations.

Exchange Migration from One domain to another domain on same forest

Team,
we are in the process of migrating exchange infrastructure from one child domain to another child domain within same forest.
root domain - root.com
child domains - US.root.com and EMEA.root.com
EMEA and US Domains setup are different from each other. Like EMEA has different email address policy , Email Flow than US , connectors etc.
Now we need to migrate all emea users under US Domain. based on the geographical locations, we are building a new dc, mailbox , cas servers on EMEA location , but these servers will be part of US Domain.
for CAS Servers - we are planing to register respective sites ( site affinity), so all the local requests will be handled by new cas server which is built under US Domain.
Mailbox Servers - we would be creating new db's and the limits on new mbx server and going to replicate as its on EMEA Mailbox server.
can some one please let us know what are the precautions , recommendation, sequence which we need to follow to perform smoother migration. as of now , I can think of below topics.
Mailbox Migration -I Have a script , which
will take care of mailbox movement once the objects are being moved.
Contacts Migration - Willard Martin blog helped me to perform migration
DL Migration - I believe there is no mechanism to migrate DL. only option is to recreate.
Email address Policy:we would be creating a new address policy and apply to OU's
DB Consistency check – do we have to perform the health checks on source mailbox server to see , the servers are free from errors /corruption.
Check outlook configuration - After the migration, we need to check and see , the exchange server/ auto discover works and identify the new exchange servers.
Internal /External Email flow.-
Active Sybc , OWA
Public folder Migration -
Offline Address Book
Certificates
any help or suggestions would be great.

Migration from 1 domain to another (in relation to Exchange)

Hi, hoping someone can give me an opinion on the best way to carry out this task as it's quite a big project. I've read various articles on technet and other blogs, but I'm not sure if this is even possible with the versions of Exchange involved. Details
below:
We are carrying out a domain centralisation project - merging from an external forest (Domain B for example purposes) into another Forest (target Domain A). I will be using ADMT to carry out the account, group migrations etc and will include SID history
when doing so.
There is a two way external trust between the domains.
Domain B (source domain) has it's own Exchange 2010 environment. The target domain is on Exchange 2003 SP2.
Once I have migrated the accounts, is there any Exchange tools or methods for me to ensure that the migrated accounts can still access their Exchange mailboxes (with the domain trust still in place)?
As mentioned earlier I will be migrating SID history to ensure no disruption with access to resources, I have read that this would also be needed to ensure users can still access their original mailboxes in the source domain. Eventually we will be migrating
the mailboxes from old domain to new but this is phase 2 of the project (either by PST import or however this can be done, that will need to be thought about later...).
Any advice on how I can make sure the migrated users can still access their mailboxes and what I need to do, would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Sarah

If the target forest is running Exchange 2003, you aren't 100% wrong in saying it may not be possible. If you are migrating from Exchange 2010 to a new forest, you need to be migrating into an Exchange 2010 organization - downlevel migrations aren't supported,
to the best of my knowledge. Here are the links supporting Exchange forest migrations, and they specifically say they are for migrations into an Exchange 2010 organization:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/meamcs/archive/2011/06/10/exchange-2010-cross-forest-migration-step-by-step-guide-part-i.aspx
https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/office/Cross-Forest-Migration-7443029c
http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2010/08/10/3410619.aspx
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd876952.aspx
I'm pretty sure that the tools used won't allow you to migrate from Exchange 2010 into Exchange 2003. I'm sure you can kludge together a migration process that exports mailboxes to PST, then imports them into the target mailboxes, but that would be
a painful process.

Active Directory domain migration with Exchange 2010, System Center 2012 R2 and File Servers

Greeting dear colleagues!
I got a task to migrate existing Active Directory domain to a new froest and a brand new domain.
I have a single domain with Forest/Domain level 2003 and two DC (2008 R2 and 2012 R2). My domain contains Exchange 2010 Organization, some System Center components (SCCM, SCOM, SCSM) and File Servers with mapped "My Documents" user folders. Domain
has about 1500 users/computers.
How do u think, is it realy possible to migrate such a domain to a new one with minimum downtime and user interruption? Maybe someone has already done something like that before? Please, write that here, i promise that i won't ask for instruction from you,
maybe only some small questions :)
Now I'm studying ADMT manual for sure.
Thanks in advance,
Dmitriy Titov

Hi Dmitriy,
I got a task to migrate existing Active Directory domain to a new froest and a brand new domain.
How do u think, is it realy possible to migrate such a domain to a new one with minimum downtime and user interruption?
As far as I know, during inter-forest migration, user and group objects are cloned rather than migrated, which means they can still access resources in the source forest, they can even access resources after the migration is completed. You can ask users
to switch domain as soon as the new domain is ready.
Therefore, there shouldn’t be a huge downtime/interruption.

Upgrading domain controller from Server 2003 to Server 2012 R2, how will this affect Exchange 2010?

Hi All,
Below is an AD and Server related post that I had submitted last week. While I did receive valid responses for the post, I was advised to check with the Exchange forums for the Exchange related question in
bold. All responses are welcomed, thank you!
===========================================================
Hi All,
I am hoping that someone could perhaps provide some insight on this topic as I apparently can't seem to google the best answer.
I have recently acquired an AD domain that is running on a 2003 domain controller. I have been tasked with upgrading our existing domain structure with 2012 R2 domain controllers for our main office and remote offices.
The domain name is company.mynetwork.com, and it is the default first site name. We have multiple offices throughout the US with their own domain controllers (i.e. FL.mynetwork.com, NY.mynetwork.com, DC.mynetwork.com, etc.).
Our main office, and default first site has one domain controller (mynetdc1) running Server 2003 R2. It is also our only DNS server for the main office. It also has an additional domain controller called mynetmaster3 which is running Server 2003.
Both mynetdc1 & mynetmaster3 NTDS settings show them as global catalogs under AD Sites & Services. Both servers are also in the AD Domain Controllers OU, along with all of the other satellite office domain controllers.
Additionally, our main office is running Exchange 2010 with the latest service pack. My questions are:
Can we demote and retire mynetmaster3, then replace mynetdc1 with a newly promoted 2012 R2 global catalog domain controller without harming anything in the domain tree and interrupting connectivity to the other offices (this of course goes without saying
after a 4 hour maintenance window to get the task completed has passed)?
Should we upgrade the satellite offices first after raising the functional level for mynetdc1, or should we do the opposite (upgrade main office, then satellite offices)?
MS Exchange 2010 is heavily dependent on AD, what effect will this entire project have on our email server? What steps should we take beforehand to ensure email continuity?
Finally, is there any shame for a Net Admin to suggest that we hire an implementation specialist for this task? :)
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

As long as the operating system on your Exchange servers isn't upgraded, and as long as you do the Active Directory domain and forest updates in the supported manner (the following link is a good example -
http://blogs.msmvps.com/mweber/2012/07/30/upgrading-an-active-directory-domain-from-windows-server-2003-or-windows-server-2003-r2-to-windows-server-2012/), Exchange will happily operate behind the scenes. Exchange 2010 is supported in the Windows
forests (domain controllers, domain functional level and forest functional level) mentioned in the following TechNet article, which includes both Windows 2003 and Windows 2012.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff728623(v=exchg.150).aspx
Due to this, you should be good as long as you do the domain controller, domain, and forest upgrades carefully. Oh, and before you start each step, get a nice backup.
