How to demote a Exchange 2007 CCR Cluster with Load balanced CAS/HUB Servers

I used the following steps to do this.

1. All public folders and system folders that are housed on the CCR Cluster computer must be replicated to another /2010 computer that is in the site.

2. Verify the contents of the public folder store with the following commands
Get-PublicFolderStatistics -server < 2007_Server_Name> | fl | out-file d:\PFstat.txt

Get-PublicFolder -server < Exchange 2007_Server_Name > \ -recurse | fl | out-file d:\PFIPMSub.txt

Get-PublicFolder -server < Exchange 2007_Server_Name > \non_ipm_subtree -recurse | fl | out-file d:\PFNonIPMSub.txt.

3. Remove the replicas from the public folder store

MoveAllReplicas.ps1 -Server ccrclustername –NewServer newservername

4. Remove the public folder store

Remove–PublicFolderDatabase –Identity "Public_Folder_Store_Name"

5. Change the server that is responsible for generating the Offline Address Lists

Move-OfflineAddressBook –Identity OfflineAddressBookIdParameter -Server ServerIdParameter

6. Move the Routing Group Connectors by using the following command:

Get-RoutingGroupConnector | where {$_.SourceTransportServers -like "<First Exchange 2007 server>"} | Set-RoutingGroupConnector -SourceTransportServers "<Second Exchange 2007 server>"
Get-RoutingGroupConnector | where {$_.TargetTransportServers -like "<First Exchange 2007 server>"} | Set-RoutingGroupConnector -TargetTransportServers <Second Exchange 2007 server>

7. To modify any Send connectors that have the first Exchange 2007 server as the source transport server, run the following commands:

Get-SendConnector | where {$_.SourceTransportServers -like "<First Exchange 2007 server>"} | Set-SendConnector -SourceTransportServers "<Second Exchange 2007 server>"

8.Important:
How to use the Exchange Server SP1 2007 Setup wizard to remove Exchange 2007

  1. Log on to the server from which you want to remove Exchange 2007.

  2. Open Control Panel, and then double-click Programs and Features.

  3. In Programs and Features, select Microsoft Exchange Server 2007, and then click Uninstall.

    If you click Change instead of Uninstall, you can add server roles, but you cannot remove server roles.

  4. In the Exchange Server 2007 SP1 Setup wizard, on the Exchange Maintenance Mode page, click Next.

  5. On the Server Role Selection page, clear all the server role check boxes, clear the Management Tools check box, and then click Next.

    By default, all server roles are selected. This indicates that no server roles will be removed. To remove a server role, you must clear the appropriate check box.

  6. On the Readiness Checks page, after the check completes, click Uninstall.

  7. On the Completion page, click Finish.

  8. (Optional) If you are removing Exchange from a Mailbox server, remove the Exchange database files (*.edb) and storage group log files (*.log).

    If you reinstall the Mailbox server role on this server, you must first remove the database and log files from the server.

  9. (Optional) Remove the setup log files that are located at %systemdrive%\ExchangeSetupLogs.

  10. (Optional) Remove the following virtual servers that are created for Exchange 2007 under the Default Web Site in IIS:

    • Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync
    • OAB
    • Owa

    When you remove Exchange 2007, neither IIS nor these virtual servers are removed

9.  First Remove the Passive Mailbox Node

10. Second the Primary Mailbox Role

11. Remove the CAS/HUB’s Role on the nodes
Important: NOT AT THE SAME TIME

12. Demote the Cluster

13. Demote the NLB Cluster

14. Remove the Servers from the domain

15. Shutdown the Servers

16. Take a cold bier when you are don with testing and everything works Winking smile

After installing Rollup 1 for Exchange 2007 SP3 IMAP is now serving most text/plain parts as text/html

After installing Rollup 1 for SP3 IMAP is now serving most text/plain parts as text/html instead. I had some issue with a simple mail import tool that now imported all mail with html codes.

Before the rollup 1 they were previously multipart/alternative messages with both text/plain and text/html subparts.

Solution:
You can set in through in the GUI or using to set the value to 0 text only

ImapMessagesRetrievalMimeFormat:
0:Text Only
1:HTML Only
2:HTML and Alternative Text
3:Enriched Text Only
4:Enriched Text and Alternative Text
5:Best Body Format

Management Console:

  1. In the console tree, expand Server Configuration, and then click Client Access.

  2. In the work pane, click the POP3 and IMAP4 tab.

  3. In the work pane, select IMAP4 and then, in the result pane, click Properties.

  4. On the IMAP4 Properties page, click the Retrieval Settings tab.

  5. In the Message Retrieval pane, select a message format from the drop-down list under Message MIME format. I choies for 0

  6. Click Apply, and then click OK to save your changes.

Powershell:

Migrating to Exchange 2010 & PDA Sync Issues

Some day’s ago I was testing some PDA’s Mobile and Nokia’s for a Migration to 2010.

I created a little procure to test it.

1. PDA sync at first with ISA 2006 against .

2. Shutdown the ISA 2006 Server

3. Starting the TMG Server

4. Checking if the PDA would sync. (The PDA should be sync with legacy.wardvissers.nl automatically )

5. Move the Mailbox to and check again if the PDA sync works.

 

Windows Mobile PDA (6.1).

1. Works fine

2.

3.

4. The PDA will be redirected to legacy.wardvissers.nl and pda sync works great. The User had nothing to do.

5. Moving the Mailbox to Exchange 2010 there is no problem. The user will automatically redirected from legacy.wardvissers.nl to webmail.wardvissers.nl with out any problems.

Nokia E71/E72 (Mail for Exchange Client 3.0.73)

1. Works fine

2.

3.

4. PDA don’t sync anymore. The user must change the sync url manual to legacy.wardvissers.nl than it works again.

5. Moving the Mailbox to Exchange 2010 there is no problem. If you change the url to legacy.wardvissers.nl you must change it manually back.

Nokia E71/E72 With (Road Sync 4.0/5.0)

1. Works fine

2.

3.

4. PDA don’t sync anymore. The user must change the sync url manual to legacy.wardvissers.nl than it works again.

5. Moving the Mailbox to Exchange 2010 there is no problem. If you change the url to legacy.wardvissers.nl you must change it manually back.

Conclusion

Moving PDA users to Exchange 2010 can be a pain in the ass. Best practice is create a list of all PDA users and move them first to Exchange 2010 and than all other users.

The security certificate on the server is invalid. Contact your Exchange Server administrator or ISP to install a valid certificate on the server. Support Code: 80072F0D or 0x80072f0d

I had some Mobile device that did not sync anymore. I changed the Certificates on 2007 and ISA 2006 Servers.

After some investing. The problem was I was missing the GlobalSign Domain Validation CA certificate

After creating the cer file and installed on my PDA active sync works again.

Exchange 2007/2010 Performance settings on vSphere.

When install a or 2010 Server on there are some settings that will increase de performance.

- Use de VMXNET 3 Adapter
- Use per Disk a SCSI Controller
- Store the Log & Database files on physical Lun on a SAN
- Use the LSI LOGIC SAS controller for 2008 &
- Use the VMware Paravirtual SCSI (PVSCSI) Controller for Every physical Raw Device Mapping (RDM).

Another TIP.  Exchange 2007 & needs a lots of Memory. When choosing the size for the OS partition, swap file need also al lot of space.

Failed to Mount Public Folder database after a lossy failover because the current setting for AutoDatabaseMountDial. You Must run Restore-StorageGroupCopy before you can mount the Database

The Error:
Failed to Mount Public Folder database after a lossy failover because the current setting for AutoDataseBaseMountDial. You Must run Restore-StorageGroupCopy before you can mount the Database
image 

Solution:
Restore-StorageGroupCopy won’t work because it is public folder database.

Setting a Vink by Do not Mount this Database at Startup.

image

En give the active clustered mailbox server a  reboot. Then Cluster service will show that the other node is going online. Then the public folder is back online. After every reboot you must start to check if the public folder online is?
