    - upgrade path I am currently running W2K in native mode with two DC. The 1st DC is configured as the FMSO/GC while the 2nd DC is configured as a GC. The servers in the domain are all W2K standard edition with all the required service packs and patches. I have two questions: 1. Can I upgrade the W2K DCs running standard edition to W2K3 enterprise edition. Second, can I upgrade the 2nd DC, before I upgrade the DC acting as the FMSO.

    - installing exchange 2003 server in branch office We have a lot of users who are working in branch office. We decided to install additional exchange server in branch office. In this moment users who are working in branch office have their mailboxes in main office. How can I in most efficient way move their mailboxes to a new exchange server in branch office. We have quite slow link and replication doesn't pass as a solution. Tag: Upgrade path from 2000 Standard to 2003 Enterprise Tag: 127013

    - Can't Create Appointments in OWA 2003 I've just tried it again and it now works. We had trouble installing a mailbox antivirus product a few weeks ago and this highlighted an issue with our MDAC installation. MDAC was updated and repaired, going from version 2.6 to 2.8, and we think this is what resolved the issue. MDAC, it appears, had always been improperly registered and installed, ever since we upgraded the server o/s from 2000 to 2003 and performed a clean install of Exchange. My colleague, who resolved the issue with MDAC, used the following article and the software it refers to: http://www.macropool.com/en/download/repair_mdac.html I hope this is of use. -----original post: From: Paul Anderson (paul.anderson@eaifhe.REMOVE_NOSPAM.ac.uk) Subject: Can't Create Appointments in OWA 2003 View this article only Newsgroups: microsoft.public.exchange.admin, microsoft.public.exchange.clients, microsoft.public.exchange.misc, microsoft.public.exchange.setup Date: 2004-01-15 06:25:08 PST We have Exchange Server 2003 and Outlook 2002. Our users can create calendar entries using Outlook, but not using Outlook Web Access. When they click 'Save and Close' in the New Appointment window, they get the message 'The appointment can't be opened'. They can access all other Exchange mailbox content normally using OWA. They can even open existing calender items created using Outlook, but they can't amend them. They can copy an e-mail into the Calendar from Inbox. Again, everything works normally in Outlook, but not OWA. -- Paul Anderson IT Systems Support East Antrim Institute of Further & Higher Education Tag: Upgrade path from 2000 Standard to 2003 Enterprise Tag: 127012

    - Public fOLDERS hI aLL I am running Exchange 2003. I have created a public foler. However when trying to create the contacts in Outlook, the contact goes into my personal contacts and not the public folder. I am the owner of the Public folder and have given myself the required permissions. Funny thing is, I have created a set of contacts in the Public folder previously with success. I have SP 1 installed, any idea why this strange behaviour would be occuring. Thanks Tag: Upgrade path from 2000 Standard to 2003 Enterprise Tag: 127006

    - Moving to New Server All - We have purchased new hardware for a new Exchange 2003 server. The bosses would like to move Exchange to this new server and keep the existing naming structure. We have another exchange server 2003 in the site hosting other mailboxes in another state. I thought about just moving the mailboxes to the other server but the connection speed between the sites is limited and it will take a week (WAG) to move the boxes. The current E2003 is SP1 and not a domain controller. How can we move the exchange to the new server keeping the same name? I thought about: 1. Backup the stores 2. Bring the store down 3. Bring the server down 4. New server up with same names and patch levels 5. Run exchange setup with diasater switch 6. Copy all the files including the stores from the old server to the new server 7. Start exchange Will this work?!? What method is the best was to approach this? Thanks, Brian Tag: Upgrade path from 2000 Standard to 2003 Enterprise Tag: 127005

    - Two Exchange Servers in a single domain Hello, I'm attempting to preform a migration to exchange 2003 via the "swing" method, as describe in KB 821896. I've got the second exchange server up and running, and it's seen in the Exchange System manager on both Exchange servers. I moved a test account (jamtest2) from the original server (ms1) to the "swing" server (ms2). The jamtest2 user, can recieve mail from ms1, and can send mail to both ms1 and through a mail relay. However incoming e-mail destined for jamte...@ad-domain.org does not make it to the users mail box. Instead, the sender gets a this message: Your message did not reach some or all of the intended recipients. Subject: TEST 16 Sent: 1/25/2005 5:32 PM The following recipient(s) could not be reached: James Testor2 on 1/25/2005 8:06 PM A configuration error in the e-mail system caused the message to bounce between two servers or to be forwarded between two recipients.

    - Exchange Server 2003 First Install Question Dear All, Hello Hope all is well. I am trying to put my thoughts together & to remember how it all was done or started with an exchange/windows migration from 2k to 2003. It was a network with a couple of Exchange 2000 servers running on Windows 2000 systems & with one front-end server (back then running E2k & W2k). The boss managed to either install FIRST Exchange Server 2003 (might have been an in-place upgrade of the front-end as a matter of fact) or upgrade the node to WS2003, actually, the OS front-end server might have remained windows 2000 server. I believe he did the upgrade of the mail side of it, leaving the front-end exchange with Windows 2000 server...is this possible???? Since documentation points to upgrade first the front-end server & then the other regular mailbox exchange systems... He then might have proceeded to upgrade other mail systems by doing a mailbox-move method(yes); the windows 2000 server -side of it a bit more complicated since it meant installing a brand new & first WS2003 DC with a different name than the first root DC (originally a W2k Server). Hope it didn't bore you & look forward for your inputs. TIA Angelo Tag: Upgrade path from 2000 Standard to 2003 Enterprise Tag: 126994

    - Exchange Re-install Won't Accept Email Hello, I am running Exhcange 2003 on Windows 2003. I am a novice user of Exchange 2003 and am in a bind. I had my server hdd fail on me and low and behold the NTBACKUP file would not retore (what else is new). So I rebuilt the server and attached it to the domain so all of my old AD information is still there. I have succesfully installed Exchange 2003 on the newly built DC and I created all new mailboxes for my users and I can succesfully logon to Exchange through OWA. However when I send something to the email address that I created, the server will not recieve it. I have been able to SEND OUT an email from within OWA to another email account and I get that test email fine, but when I try to reply to it I get an error saying that I am not authorized to forward to this server. Exchange 2003 will not accept any incoming email. To add to this I can not get my Outlook 2003 to connect to the newly installed Exchange 2003 server. If just sits there trying to connect and then comes back with an error saying it can not connect. Any help to get this back up and running would be great!

    - Step #13 Article 822450 We are running in mixed mode currently and I have an Exchange 5.5 server which is the last Exchange 5.5 server in the Exchange 2003 Administrative Group. I have followed the steps outlined in article # 822450 down to Step #12. It says to move any connectors on the 5.5 server to SRS server. In this case it would be an x.400 connector and directory replication connector. I have found articles on creating the x.400 connector. My question is how to move the directory replication connector? Does the x.400 connector that points to our exch5.5 bridgehead need to be added to Exchange 2003 SRS in that admin group if an Exchange 2003 server exists in the same administrative group as the exch5.5 BH? Wouldn't messages be routed across the routing group connector and then passed the the Exchange 5.5 BH if destined for another 5.5 server. Is there an article I am missing that outlines this? Or is this referring to pointing the ADC recipient CA connector to the SRS server instead of the 5.5 server? Tag: Upgrade path from 2000 Standard to 2003 Enterprise Tag: 126990

    - Creating new Administrative Group in mixed mode I have two companies that were not in our Exchange organization when we switched to mixed mode. I know in mixed the Administrative Groups are created based on Exchange 5.5 sites. What I would like to do and need to know if this will create an issue is to create a new administrative group in System Manager. Then create their Exchange 2003 in this new admin group. Can I create a new administrative group in System Manager and join the new Exchange 2003 server when we are in mixed mode? What issues will this cause?

    - ADC fustration OK. I am migrating from E5.5 to E2k3. Have followed Exdeploy up to the ADC. Used ADC tools all the way through step 4. The user and public folder ocnneciton agreements exists, but I don't see any evidence of replication. The resouce accounts never get created and changing attributes at either side and "replicate(ing) now" doesn't have an affect, but doesn't raise an error. I have turned diagnostic logging up to maximum, but still not event log entries. Nothing in the ADCTools.log either. Does it log replication somewhere else? Anyway. Ideas on what I should do are greatly appreciated. Tag: Upgrade path from 2000 Standard to 2003 Enterprise Tag: 126987

    - Leave some users on ISP server I use SBS 2003 Server and I want to leave some non-user accounts, i.e. info@, on my ISP's mail server. My user accounts are in my Exchange Server and I use Pop3 connectors to retrieve their mail from my ISP. When a user john.smith@abc.com, who is on the Exchange Server, attempts to send a message to a non-user account, i.e. info@abc.com which is on my ISP's mail server, they get this error, "The e-mail account does not exist at the organization this message was sent to. Check the e-mail address, or contact the recipient directly to find out the correct address." I know that I could solve this by taking my ISP out of the loop and hosting the mail myself, but, I can't do that at this time.

    - Exchange 2003 install I'm trying to install a new exchange 2003 server in a domain running on SBS 2000. I've installed the OS (Windows Server 2003 Standard) and joined it to the domain.

I've contacted micosoft support on this and they basicly told me that adding a second exchange server to an SBS enviornment is not possible. I've done this before so I know it is possible.

    - Problem sending mail from 5.5 to 2003 Hi we have E2K3 and 5.5 in two different domains. We have configured the ADC and have migrated 1 mailbox from the 5.5 to the E2K3 box, this worked fine. We noticed that the mailbox was still listed in the 5.5 admin program, so we deleted it from there and then opened outlook 2003, thinking that it would be redirected to the mailbox on the new E2K3 server. This was not the case as Outlook was still looking to the 5.5 box. We then manually setup Outlook to the new E2K3 box and opened the mailbox OK. Now we cannot send mail to the 5.5 mailboxes from the E2K3 mailbox and the same from 5.5 to E2K3 can anyone explain what has happened why, once migrated, the mailbox still appeared in the 5.5 organisation why outlook didn't reconfigure itself and why we can send mail to 5.5 and 5.5 to E2k3 any help would be greatly appreciated many thanks Marcus Tag: Upgrade path from 2000 Standard to 2003 Enterprise Tag: 126934

    - Exchange, Outlook and Firewall Exchange 2003, outlook 98. Local clients connect with no issue, I have had internet clients connecting via exchange connector thru the firewall at thie location before with no issue, until code red came out... and due to an unqualifed admin and/or a patch issued by microsoft, this has stopped working. Ports open on the firewall: 25,80,110,135,143,593 and opened range 1024 to 1800 based on something I read. The exchange client "sometimes" connects to check the username with 10 second pause, othertime it reports connection or network error. I have statically set the tcpip ports for exchange as well based on some articles posted by microsoft, saw no improvement and removed them. I am 5 hours into this...what have missed to get this to work? Craig Musgrove MCSE, MCP+I, MCP Tag: Upgrade path from 2000 Standard to 2003 Enterprise Tag: 126921

    - exch2k mailbox store will not mount I have a native 2k network and I am trying to add an exchange 2k server in a remote office. I already have two functioning exchange 2k servers at other locations and I cannot get the mailbox store on the new server to mount, it is giving me a C1041724 error and the public store is mounting fine. I have verified all rights to the exch directories all appropriate services are running using system logons the new server is a member of the domain and has access to a local DNS server and Global catalog I have tried moving the files from the MDBDATA directory and while the public store offered to create a blank database the mailbox store did not. I am sure I messed it up somewhere but cannot figure out where Tag: Upgrade path from 2000 Standard to 2003 Enterprise Tag: 126919

    - Two Exchange Servers in a single domain. Hello, I'm attempting to preform a migration to exchange 2003 via the "swing" method, as describe in KB 821896. I've got the second exchange up and running, and it's seen in the Exchange System manager on both Exchange servers. I moved a test account (jamtest2) from the original server (ms1) to the "swing" server (ms2). The jamtest2 user, can recieve mail from ms1, and can send mail to both ms1 and through a mail relay. However incoming e-mail destined for jamtest2@ad-domain.org does not make it to the users mail box. Instead, the sender gets a this message: Your message did not reach some or all of the intended recipients. Subject: TEST 16 Sent: 1/25/2005 5:32 PM The following recipient(s) could not be reached: James Testor2 on 1/25/2005 8:06 PM A configuration error in the e-mail system caused the message to bounce between two servers or to be forwarded between two recipients.

( From what little I've found, this should just "happen"). Is there any pertainant KB articles I should be reading?

    - can't get Forest Prep to run Installing the 1st Ex2K3 server in a single domain Ex2k/W2K domain. The new Exchange server is on a new W2k3 server that is NOT a DC. As I go thru the deplyment tools I get an error from the Exchange Install Wizard. Either don't have premission or AD too busy. I'm running this forest prep on the W2K3 server itself. I am the only admin, admin logged into server, admin has permissions to Schema, Enterprise and Domain admins. I tried running Forest Prep from a DC but then I don't get a choice of Forest Prep it just gives me the choices to install Exchanges Server 03 which of course not what I want to do. What elese could be the problem here and who could I call to get help from since we just bought this software from MS. Thanks Tag: Upgrade path from 2000 Standard to 2003 Enterprise Tag: 126910

    - Exchange 2003 help PLEASE Sorry if this is a repeated question. Could someone help me located detailed information about installing exchange 2003 in an existing domain with exchange 2000. We recently purchased a new server and I want to setup exchange 2003 on this server. Once everything is in place I would like to remove the existing Exchange 2000. So my questions are: What potential conflicts will arise from installing Exchange 2003 in an existing domain with Exchange 2000? Will there be an interruption of service with Exchange 2000 while Iâ??m setting up Exchange 2003 in the same domain. Are there any conflicts between Windows 2003 member server and Windows 2000 DC (I was thinking making the new server a member server would be the best way to introduce it to the existing domain). Thank you so much in advance for any help you can provide Tag: Upgrade path from 2000 Standard to 2003 Enterprise Tag: 126905

    - exchange 2k-2k3 upgrade I have a single 2k AD, on a single win2k domain controller. Also on this server is Exchange 2000. I have a new server with Windows 2003 and I need to install Exchange 2003 Enterprise on it. Is it simply a case of doing the forest prep etc, installing, then moving mailboxes using the ESM? Also, can i keep the IM server part of my exchange 2000 installation as 2003 doesnt have this feature? Thanks Ben Tag: Upgrade path from 2000 Standard to 2003 Enterprise Tag: 126902

We have Exchange 2000 Standard. We want to upgrade to 2003 Standard now.
Because we are fast approaching the 16 gig limit on that, we know we need to
upgrade to Enterprise eventually.

Question: Can I upgrade to my standard to 2003 now and then upgrade to
enterprise later, or is there a better reason to upgrade to Enterprise 2003
now?

Any input is appreciated.

Thanks,
pepe

All things considered Equal, might as well save your self one step and go
straight for enterprise. According to the MS knowledge base, the method for
upgradeing from standard to enterprise excahge is to install over.

check out article 170280.
