Why Do i need SCOM 2012 R2 with Exchange 2013 ?
This is a question is commonly asked now a days with the "Managed Service" Feature of Exchange 2013 , why do I still need SCOM for just my Exchange monitoring ?
I have my understanding that still with managed service in exchange there are several component's that needs to be monitored outside the managed service , but I am looking for some nice bullet points.
Please help.
If you are a small shop, then you may not need to spend the money on SCOM to monitor Exchange 2013. However, if you have a large deployement, then you might want to have System Center OM.
While Exchange 2013 does store performance data (configurable I believe) for maybe seven days, you will not have long term trend and performance data. I understand the Exchange 2013 MP is not collecting performance, but this doesn't mean you cannot
replicate what it is doing in a custom management pack for Exchange 2013. Now you will have a single repository for all of your Exchange 2013 servers, where you can see performance history, look at trends, etc.
Furthermore, events that might help you with KHI are going to roll out of the event logs on your exchange servers, unless you are archinving that data, even then, with no centralized location, it will be very hard to keep track of the issues you have experienced.
With SCOM agents sitting on those servers, that data will be stored, again, in a single database, where you can report on KHI's and what not (SLO/SLA included).
Furthermore, we know Exchange 2013 runs checks on potential failover candidates. These checks should come back healthy in order for the server to be considered a good failover candidate. What if these checks detect an issue with a potential failover
candidate? Wouldn't you like to know, so that you can address that before it impacts the Exchange service? Again, this is where SCOM would come in, not just for monitoring for these things, but other issues like network, hardware, software, OS,
etc.
So, like I said, if you are a small shop, you can probably forgo the expenses. If you have a large 2013 environment, then SCOM will be beneficial, but understand that you will probably have to add too the Exchange 2013 managememt pack in order to get
the most out of it (since they stripped this latest version down compared to E2K10 MP).

Can't get OWA to work on Essentials 2012 R2 with Exchange 2013 on second server 2012 R2 std.
I have previously with success setup a working solution with server 2012 essentials, and a second server 2012 std. with exchange 2013, I did it following this guide: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj200172.aspx
Unfortunately I lost the server due to a cooling error which led to an un-repairable essentials 2012, since this was a new setup and also a test setup I didn't have any working backup solution setup at the time...tsk.tsk.
Since I had to make a complete do over I chose to try out the new R2 server editions, and set it up following the same guide, when it came to this part:
Download KB2732764 for ARR 2.5, and then install the update on the server that is running Windows Server 2012 Essentials.
Copy the SSL certificate file for Exchange Server to the server that is running Windows Server 2012 Essentials. The certificate file must contain the private key, and it must be in the PFX file format.
Note
If you are using a self-issued certificate, follow the instruction in the Exchange Server article Export an Exchange Certificate to export the certificate.
Open a command window as an administrator, and then open the %ProgramFiles%\Windows Server\Bin directory.
Based on you installation scenario, follow one of these steps to configure ARR:
If you are performing a clean setup, run the following command:
ARRConfig config –cert “path to the certificate file” –hostnames “host names for Exchange Server”
I noticed that the version of "Application request routing" had changed to version 3, so obviously I didn't need to dl the 2.5 update.. When I came to the part where I wa instructed to run arrconfig config etc. I noticed
that the ARRconfig file no longer where placed where the setup guide indicated, I then went ahead and tried som manual configuration regarding certificates and such. In the end I have a working solution where Exchange and OWA is working locally but OWA isn't
working outside my local domain, the link get's placed in the RWA and is indicating the correct link for the exchange server www.remote.clinten.dk I have a certificate which include to separate domain names aforementioned and remote.clinten.dk and
I get no errors indicating certificate errors, when I try to connect to www.remote.clinten.dk/owa from outside I get a 404 error, and when I connect to www.remote.clinten.dk I get the RWA login screen for the essentials RWA. Obviously I need to set up something
in ISS probably in the url rewrite section, but I can't seem to find the right setting.. Can someone help with this?
Btw. I have found the missing arrconfig file in c:\windows\system32\essentials" and tried to run the command as described in the guide "ARRConfig config –cert “path to the certificate file” –hostnames “host
names for Exchange Server”" but it doesn't seem to work, it just prompts with a guide for using the arrconfig command and examples of correct use, I also tried removing the "" from the guide, like this "ARRConfig
config –cert path to the certificate file –hostnames host names for Exchange Server",
when I ran it without the "" It didn't prompt me with anything nor did It indicate any errors, it did not however make my OWA work either..
I am aware that exchange 2013 atm. isn't officially supported on the R2 server, but the exchange works fine inside my domain, and the pop3/smtp also works from outside, since this Is a test environment, using only my own private domain and not a company
domain I figured it would be ok to run the risk.. ;)Hi

"Ok just an update for anyone else how has this issue.
The problem has been solved by Microsoft and I have included their findings below, but basically it comes down to a typo!
I often use notepad to have all the commands I need on hand, and I must have copied the command direct from the TechNet article or other website and customised the required fields. The issue with this is one of the characters did not “convert” - for want
of a better word. I should have retyped the whole command from scratch and it would have been right!
Thanks for everyone’s input and for Microsoft for getting to the bottom of it.
From Microsoft:
We have tested on your environment and here is the investigation result from our senior engineer:
================================================================
Basically the command fails due to invalid parameter, the invalid one is the ‘-‘. I think the one customer used is copied from the online document sample which translate to the unicode is 0x8211 means “en dash”, it
can’t be input by normal keyboard, so I pretty sure it is from web (mostly HTML document).
The one we check (compare) is ‘-‘ which has the code 0x45.
So it always failed to compare the parameter and ARRconfig.exe thought it is invalid parameter.
The solution is quite simple, just using keyboard to retype the command, using normal ‘-‘ and I have tried the password prompt shows

This is what I have:
A very outdated machine running a small domain, SBS 2003 and Exchange - this is the ONLY server currently.
This is what my boss ordered:
A Dell R210 II machine with Server 2012 Standard (and I downloaded the trial for Exchange 2013).
He wants the old server completely replaced and gone - with everything moved over (including Exchange) to the new machine. The main reason for the upgrade is that not all users can access email on their machines (Macs, new versions of Outlook, etc.)
I have set up a new standalone server before but never migrated one - and I've found that going from SBS2003/Exchange2003 to Server2012/Exchange2013 is not simple in the least.
I thought I could just set up the new server as a DC on the domain and have everything replicated to it from the source server. Then I could decommission the old server. I have been told that 1) I can't upgrade Exchange 2003 to 2013 and 2) that I shouldn't
put Exchange on a DC. What do you do if you only have the one server?Hi,
Just additional. Please also refer to following threads and article, then check if can help you.

SBS2008: Move email from Exchange 2007 to new server with Exchange 2013
We have an old server (SBS2008) and plan to buy a new server with (Server 2012). I need to move all the exchange emails, contacts & calendars to the new server. We will no longer use the old server.
Is there a document or migration tool that will help me understand how to move this data form the old exchange server to the new one?
Old Server:
SBS2008 running Exchange 2007
New Server:
Server 2012
Exchange 2013
Any help is appreciated!Hi Dave,
It can be done, and as Larry suggested you will consider two Server 2012 installs in order to achieve an environment that looks like your current SBS roles; Exchange 2013 on an Active Directory controller isn't a good long-term solution (SBS did this for
you in the past).
For your size operation, a virtual server host, with a Windows Server 2012 license, and two virtual machines would probably be a suitable design model. In this manner, you have Server 2012 license that permits 1 +2 licenses (one host for virtualization,
up to 2 Virtual Machines on same host).
There's no migration tool. That comes with experience and usually trial and error. You earn the skills in this migration path, and for the average SBS support person you should plan on spending 3x (or more) your efforts estimate in hours planning your migration.
You can find a recommended migration path at this link to give you an idea of the steps, but its not exactly point by point going to cover you off for an sbs2008 to server 2012 w/exchange 2013 migration. But the high points are in here. If it looks
like something you would be comfortable with then you should research more.
http://blogs.technet.com/b/infratalks/archive/2012/09/07/transition-from-small-business-server-to-standard-windows-server.aspx
Specific around integrating Exchange 2013 into an Exchange 2007 environment, guidance for that can be found here:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj898582(v=exchg.150).aspx
If that looks like something beyond your comfort level, then you might consider building a new 2012 server with Exchange 2013 environment out as new, manually export your exchange 2007 mailbox contents (to PST) and then import them into the new mail server,
and migrate your workstations out of old domain into new domain. Whether this is more or less work at your workstation count is dependent upon a lot of variables.
If you have more questions about the process, update the thread and we'll try to assist.
Hopefully this info answered your original question.

SSRS 2012 integrated with Sharepoint 2013, subscription and impersonation
Hello,
We are configuring SSRS 2012 integrated with Sharepoint 2013. The reports are connecting to SSAS cubes via shared Datasources. We have defined user based roles and security in the cubes and would like to pass the effective username to the cubes when they
access data via reports.
Also we need to create subscriptions on these reports to run on either daily/weekly or monthly schedule and send email to a list of users.
How do we configure our Datasources on sharepoint so both could be acheived.
Our Database and Sharepoint are on different servers.
Thanks
DeepakHi Deepak
For your first question:
while configuring the datasource in SharePoint, check the option 'Set execution context to this account' in the settings. This will pass the effective user name to the cubes.
Thanks

Hi,
I am struggling with a completely clean installation of Server 2012 R2 and Exchange 2013 SP1. I followed these steps:
Installed Server OS
Windows Updates
Added Active Directory Role (This is a single standalone server that would have been SBS until it was dropped)
Added DHCP & DNS
Added Certificate Services
Added Windows Server Update Services (WID Database & WSUS Services)
Windows Updates
Added Media Foundation
Added File Server Resource Manager and Work Folders
Added Windows Server Backup
Windows Updates
Checked all running without errors in Server Manager and performed a full bare bones backup.
Ran Setup.exe from Exchange 2013 SP1 disc.
Installed Pre-requisites and then rebooted
Windows Updates
Ran Setup.exe from Exchange 2013 SP1 disc.
Installation completed without errors
Rebooted
Checked all running without errors in Server Manager.
I Launch Exchange Administrative Center and get "problem with website's server certificate error" (normal on machine with self-assigned certificates). Click Continue to Website and get:
Windows Security dialog box:
iexplore - "The server localhost is asking for your username and password. The server reports that it is from Digest"
however no username and password combination will work: have tried [Administrator]; [Domain\Administrator] even created a user to no avail.
I believe the issue is somewhere in the IIS configuration because I also get the same error when trying to log into the server website from either the server or another machine on the network.
I have tried the complete installation three times now: (full disclosure not all of the same features/roles each time). On the first attempt I got this error immediately and on try number 2 was able to get into the EAC and created the mailboxes
but then it started giving the same error. The above steps are try number 3.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Andy Halford
P.S. A Follow up which might be significant: The Default Web Site is not running and will not start (it was previously running before the Exchange installation) and when I try I get the message that Another Website may be using the same port however none
of the others (Exchange Back End or WSUS Administration) are using ports 80 or 443 and I still get the error when they are both stopped.Could you post the list of sites:
appcmd list site
The ones listening on port 80:
appcmd list site /bindings:http/*:80:
And on port 443:

Here is the scenario:
Legacy Host: Windows 2008 R2
Guest VM: Windows 2008 R2 with Exchange 2013 SP1 DAG cluster.
After importing the VM (2008 R2 and Exchange 2013 DAG) into a 2012 R2 host (Cluster). (copy VM files to new 2012 R2host) Everything works fine.
Then upgrading "Installation Services" (for Windows 2012 R2 host) on the imported VM runs fine with no errors to the "Restart" prompt. VM than shows: "Configuring Windows updates 32% complete. Do not turn
of your computer." Hangs there for about 20 minutes until is says "shutting down". Hangs there for 20 minutes until power off. Restart to normal start; "Preparing to configure Windows. Do not turnoff your computer." proceeds slowly
to "Configuring Windows updates 32% complete. Do not turn of your computer." hangs there again indefinite. Sometime hangs at shutdown cycle and "Configuring Windows updates 32% complete. Do not turn of your computer." indefinitely.
I moved 20 other machines from a 2008 R2 host to new Windows 2012 R2 hosts all of these machines install the 2012 R2 Integration services just fine on the 2008 R2 VM. Just the 2008 R2 VMs clustered (DAG) and Exchange 2013 SP1 do not take the Integration
Services upgrade.
Any advise from Microsoft? I know I could decommission the DAG and Exchange machines and install Integration services on the native box before Exchange and DAG and that would sure work, but I'd rather avoid that amount of work for a simple integration layer
upgrade.
Thanks

Lync Server Integration with Exchange 2013
Hello,
I have Exchange 2013 standard edition server installed and running successfully on a Windows 2012 machine. Now, I would like to have a Lync 2013 server integrated with it. I came across some links telling that its not possible to integrate Unified Messaging
in the Exchange standard edition and would need an Enterprise edition license. But, when I checked my ECP, I could see that UM is already there and its enabled.
So, Is it possible to integrate Lync 2013 with Exchange 2013 standard edition? What all things I need to take care of while Integrating? If someone could shed some light on this, that would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and Regards,
Nash BurnsYes you can integrate Lync 2013 with Exchange 2013 Standard, the only big difference between Exchange 2013 Standard vs Enterprise is the number of mailbox databases (5 vs 50).
Follow this link for information on integrating the two: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj688098.aspx (specifically integrating Lync with Exchange for Voicemail http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj687983.aspx)
Having said that, the confusion may be related to User CALs. You need Exchange Enterprise User CALs to use the Unified Messaging components. (I believe they still work regardless, but
to be properly licensed and compliant you need to have the correct number of Enterprise CALs for the number of users that use UM)

Certificate errors with Exchange 2013 and Outlook 2013
Hello, I wonder if someone could help.
I've recently set up a network with one Windows 2012 domain controller and one windows 2012 server running Exchange 2013.
Clients run Outlook 2013 and are all one the same Lan. Outlook's setup wizard finds the exchange server automatically and sets up the profile. However if I choose the manual setup and enter the server
name and user name it does not find the server.
When I check the server name in Outlook it shows as
[email protected] rather than the real name of the server: AYCEX01.AYC.local.
When Outlook is opened there is a certificate error saying "The name on the security certificate is invalid or does not match the name of the site." and another error saying "There is
a problem with the server's security certificate. The name on the security certificate is invalid or does not match the name of the target site mail.ardfernyacht.co.uk. Outlook is unable to connect to the proxy server. (Error code 10)
The external address by which users connect to OWA and active sych is mail.ardfernyacht.co.uk. The
certificate which is used is one automatically generated by Exchange.
Any suggestions you may have would be appreciated.
Many thanks,

Ruaridh MackintoshSelf sign cert wont work With autodiscover.For that you need 3rd part or from Your own CA.
Please follow this guide to install CA in Your domain:
http://careexchange.in/how-to-install-certificate-authority-on-windows-server-2012/
Please follow this guide to request New cert in Exchange 2013:
http://exchangeserverpro.com/create-ssl-certificate-request-exchange-2013/
Your cert must contain external hostname of Your mail.domain.com
Also configure Your Virtual directories to contain internal and external hostname:

Regarding servername when using autodiscover,it should automatically resolve mailbox guid instead of servername.
Please check if Your DNS is setup With autodiscover.domain.local (which is pointed to Your Exchange server)

Internal outlook client connectivity in exchange 2010 when coexist with exchange 2013
Hi all ,
on my side i would like to clarify few queries.
Say for instance i am coexisting exchange 2010 with exchange 2013 .Unfortunately if all of my exchange 2013 servers goes down .
Q1 .On that time will the internal outlook users having their mailboxes on exchange 2010 can be able to connect mailboxes without any issues ? In case if they face any issues what kind of issues will they be? Because why i am asking is we should have pointed
the autodiscover service to exchange 2013 during coexistence.
When an user closes and reopens the outlook after whole exchange 2013 environment failure ,outlook will first query the autodiscover service for the profile changes to get it updated on users outlook profile.In such case autodiscover service will not be
reachable and i wanted to know will that affects the internal client connectivity for outlook users having their mailboxes on exchange 2010.
Q2. Apart from outlook internal users connectivity ,what kind of exchange services(i.e owa,active sync,pop,external OA and imap) will get affected when whole exchange 2013 environment goes down during coexistence ?
I have read the below mentioned statement on this awesome blog but still i wanted to clarify with you all on my scenario.
http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2014/03/12/client-connectivity-in-an-exchange-2013-coexistence-environment.aspx<o:p></o:p>
Internal Outlook Connectivity
For internal Outlook clients using RPC/TCP connectivity whose mailboxes exist on Exchange 2010, they will still connect to the Exchange 2010 RPC Client Access array endpoint.
For internal Outlook clients using RPC/TCP connectivity whose mailboxes exist on Exchange 2007, they will still connect directly to the Exchange 2007 Mailbox server instance hosting the mailbox.
Please share me your suggestions and that would help me a lot .
Regards
S.NithyanandhamHi Winnie Liang ,
Thanks a lot for your reply.
Scenario 1 : for internal outlook connectivity
We have below settings for exchange 2010 autodiscover.
mail.domain.com - will be the namespace for internal autodiscover URI for all the exchange 2010 cas serves
We are going to have below settings for exchange 2013 autodiscover.
mail.domain.com - will be the namespace for internal autodiscover URI for all the exchange 2013 cas serves
During coexistence mail.domain.com will be pointed to exchange 2013 cas servers . I mean to say if we try to resolve the mail.domain.com it will get resolved in to the exchange 2013 cas servers.
So on such case if anything happened wrong to the new environment or else if entire environment goes down .Do we face any issues while outlook users connect to existing mailboxes in exchange 2010 ?
Because why i am asking is ,on the below mentioned article i have read all the autodiscover request will go via exchange 2013 cas servers during coexistence.That means all the existing mailboxes in exchange 2010 will also have to query exchange 2013 cas
servers for autodiscover request.During the whole exchange 2013 environemnt failure whenever the user tries to close and open outlook .Outlook will first queries the autodiscover service for any changes happened on that particular mailbox and it will try to
get it updated on user profile.
http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2014/03/12/client-connectivity-in-an-exchange-2013-coexistence-environment.aspx
Would it be possible to make the exchange 2010 mailbox users to query only the scp points which belongs to the exchange 2010 cas servers for autodiscover request ?
Scenario 2: For exchange services
mail.domain.com - will be the namespace for all the exchange 2010 services (i.e owa,activesync,external outlook anywhere,pop,imap)
mail.domain.com - will be the namespace for all the exchange 2013 services (i.e owa,activesync,external outlook anywhere,pop,imap)
What about the above services will it get affected during whole exchange 2013 environment failure ?
Note : We are not facing this issue , i hope everything goes well in my environment while doing coexistence i am just asking this question on my own interest?
Regards
S.Nithyanandham

Migrate to Windows 2012 R2 and Exchange 2013 SP1 using database portability
Hi, I'm planning to migrate from Exchange 2013 SP1 running on Windows 2012 to Exchange 2013 SP1 on Windows 2012 R2.
Is it possible to use database portability to move the databases from the exchange installation on win 2012 to the new installation on Win 2012 R2? This would save a great deal of time not doing the mailbox moves.
I've searched similar cases but couldn't find any, all speak about disaster recovery and database portability but I've found no articles that uses the migration scenario.
Would it be possible to do and if so, what would the steps be? Do I need to delete the database from the source server, move the database files to the new server and mount them and relocate the mailboxes? Or should I dismount the database on the source server,
move them to the new server and mount them and relocate the mailboxes?
Frank.Hi,
According to your description, I recommend you consider using DAG to achieve your requirement.
The following steps for your reference:
1.Prepare a new server which installed windows 2012 R2 for Exchange 2013 mailbox server.
2.After you deploy Exchange 2013 Mailbox servers, you can create a DAG, add Mailbox servers to the DAG, and then replicate mailbox databases between the DAG members.
3.After replication, you can mount all the databases on the new server.
Hope this helps!
Thanks.

This no way a resolution. This won't work at all as Both OS will be different and you can't form the Cluster.

All of OWA user cannot write in the body of email. They can write the Object and the recipient but they cannot select body and write the body message. We have try with multiple Web brother and desactivate all Add-on but the problem still there...
The only way that works is to respond to an email, and in that case, it's working, we can write normally in the body of email.
Have you an idea ?
Thanks in advance!
SebastienHi,
After contacting Microsoft support, we have found the solution.
The problem appear after we have recently install the patch described in this KB 2997209:
https://support.microsoft.com/kb/2997209?wa=wsignin1.0
But on 2013 Mailbox Server, Echange is not installed in the default path C:\ but on D:\
So we have to manually copy the content of folder D:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\ClientAccess\Owa\prem\15.0.995.29 in the folder 15.0.995.31 (MAKE a BACKUP of FOLDER BEFORE!)
No need to reboot, or restart IIS, it's working after that!

Is it possible to create a new-emailaddress policy with Exchange
2013 Powershell, for users within OU´s located on another different
domain/forest than where Exchange 2013 is installed?

located - and the Exchange 2013, multi tenant domain.
Further
more, and if possible, I need to create linked mailboxes to all these users as
well.
Í have been struckling with this issue for weeks, so please anyone -

A-ONE SolutionsHi Siddharth
I want to create a new e-mailaaddress policy - and after that create linked mailboxes/users in my account domain with powershell.
Can you help me achieve that ?
I have a powershell CMDlet, but i doesn´t work. (Cannot fint user OU in my account domain)
CMDlet is as follows:
New-EmailAddressPolicy -Name $CustomerName -RecipientContainer "OU=$CustomerName, OU=kunder, DC=Domain, DC=local" -IncludedRecipients 'AllRecipients' -ConditionalCustomAttribute1 $CustomerName -Priority '1' -EnabledEmailAddressTemplates SMTP:%2g%1s@$AcceptedEmailDomain
Where $Customername = test.dk
and Account domain is = OU=kunder, DC=Domain, DC=local
But the command fails with:
New-EmailAddressPolicy : Couldn't find organizational unit "OU=Test.dk, OU=kunder, DC=Domain, DC=local". Make sure you have typed the name correctly.
At line:52 char:1
+ New-EmailAddressPolicy -Name $CustomerName -RecipientContainer "OU=$CustomerNa
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [New-EmailAddressPolicy], ManagementObjectNotFoundException

crosoft.Exchange.Management.SystemConfigurationTasks.NewEmailAddressPolicy
So, I cannot find the OU on the Account forest/Domain, even though the OU do exists in the Account domain.
Verifying with this:
Get-ADOrganizationalUnit -Identity "OU=$CustomerName,OU=kunder,DC=Domain,DC=local" –Server ‘DC01.domain.local’| FL
This works fine, Can you please help/assist?
