Exchange 2007/2010 to Exchange 2013 Migration Step by Step Guide

Posted on January 23, 2014 by LM Publications

Before you begin, create a work sheet in spreadsheet recording required information to migrate Exchange 2007/2010 to Exchange 2013. For this article, I am going to use following work sheet. This work sheet and migration guide are tested in production exchange migration which I did for few of my clients. Note that this article is not situation specific hence I can’t provide you a silver bullet for your situation.

Deployment Work Sheet

Version Readiness Check

Present Server	Proposed Server
Exchange 2007 SP3 OR 2010 SP3	Exchange 2013 CU3

Exchange Role Assignment

Exchange 2013 has two server roles; the Mailbox and Client Access server roles. You need at least one Client Access server and one Mailbox server in the Active Directory forest. If you’re separating your server roles, Microsoft recommend installing the Mailbox server role first.

Mailbox Role: The Mailbox server includes the Client Access protocols, the Transport service, the Mailbox databases, and Unified Messaging (the Client Access server redirects SIP traffic generated from incoming calls to the Mailbox server). The Mailbox server handles all activity for the active mailboxes on that server.

Client Access: The Client Access server provides authentication, limited redirection, and proxy services for all of the usual client access protocols: HTTP, POP and IMAP, and SMTP. The Client Access server, a thin and stateless server, doesn’t do any data rendering. With the exception of diagnostic logs, nothing is queued or stored on the Client Access server.

Server Name	Exchange Roles
AUPEREXMBX01,AUPEREXMBX02	Mailbox
AUPEREXCAS01,AUPEREXCAS02	CAS

Active Directory Schema and Forest

When you install Exchange 2013 for the first time, your Active Directory schema will be updated. This schema update is required to add objects and attributes to Active Directory to support Exchange 2013. Additionally, replicating the changes made to your schema may take several hours or days and is dependent on your Active Directory replication schedule. A forced replication can be performed after schema preparation.

Description	AD Forest	Domain Controller
Primary SMTP namespace	Superplaneteers.com	AUPERDC01,AUPERDC02
User principal name domain	Superplaneteers.com	AUPERDC01,AUPERDC02

Network Configuration

Server Name	TCP/IP	DNS	Replication network
AUPEREXMBX01	10.10.10.11	10.10.10.2 10.10.10.3	192.168.100.11/24
AUPEREXMBX02	10.10.10.12	10.10.10.2 10.10.10.3	192.168.100.12/24
AUPEREXCAS01	10.10.10.13	10.10.10.2 10.10.10.3	N/A
AUPEREXCAS02	10.10.10.14	10.10.10.2 10.10.10.3	N/A

The network adapter name used within the operating system of mailbox server must be changed to closely match the associated network name. For example: Domain Network and Replication Network. The following binding order must be maintained within Windows operating systems:

First in Order- Domain adapter connected to the Active Directory network
Second in Order- Replication adapter connected to the heartbeat network.

Here is a guide how to change adapter binding order http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc732472(v=ws.10).aspx Microsoft does not support multiple default gateways on a single server, no default gateway is required on the replication network card.

Certificates

A public Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificate is a prerequisite in Exchange 2013. SSL helps to protect communication between your Exchange servers and clients and other mail servers by encrypting data and, optionally, identifying each side of the connection.

You can buy a third-party certificate from public CA such as Verisign. Certificates published by public CAs are trusted by most operating systems and browsers.

Common Name	Subject Alternative	Type	Assigned to
mail.superplaneteers.com	autodiscover.superplaneteers.com	SSL	IIS,SMTP,POP,IMAP

Supported Client

Exchange 2013 supports the following minimum versions of Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Entourage for Mac:

Outlook 2013 (15.0.4420.1017)
Outlook 2010 Service Pack 1 with the Outlook 2010 November 2012 update (14.0.6126.5000).
Outlook 2007 Service Pack 3 with the Outlook 2007 November 2012 update (12.0.6665.5000).
Entourage 2008 for Mac, Web Services Edition
Outlook for Mac 2011

Exchange 2013 does not support Outlook 2003.

Public DNS records

Install Service pack 3 on exchange 2010

Upgrading to SP3 requires a schema update, review the Active Directory Schema changes beforehand. Upgrade your Exchange servers to SP3. This should be performed in the following order:

1. CAS servers

2. Hub and/or Edge servers

3. Mailbox servers

4. Unified Messaging servers

Upgrade Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2010 SP3 level

1. Once the files are extracted, locate and run setup.exe as an administrator

2. Select Install Microsoft Exchange Upgrade.

3. Select Next at the welcome screen. Read and accept the license terms, then select Next.

4. If you’ve got all the requirements you’ll see all the green checks, Select Upgrade to begin the upgrade

5. Select Next to start the upgrade.

6. When the upgrade is complete, select Finish.

7. Reboot the server to allow changes to take affect.

Prepare Active Directory Schema

Before you prepare Active Directory, make sure your Active Directory is healthy. Follow the procedure for AD health check.

1. Prepare Active Directory in an Active Directory site where you want to install Exchange 2013.

2. Domain Controller must be Server 2008 Standard/Enterprise (x86/x64) OR Server 2008 R2 Standard / Enterprise OR Windows Server 2012 OR Windows Server 2012 R2.

3. Each domain needs at least one writeable global catalog server

4. Ensure AD replication is working properly in each site / domain

5. Ensure Active Directory is healthy. Visit active directory health check

6. Run the following command in a domain controller, Open command prompt as an administrator

repadmin /showrepl

repadmin /replsummary

repadmin /syncall

netdom query fsmo

Dcdiag /e

Netdiag

7. Open Active Directory Sites and Services MMC, make sure all domain controllers are global catalog.

8. Start Menu, Run, Type eventvwr to open event view, Review event logs to see everything is working as per normal

9. Start Menu, Run> Services.msc to open services, Check DNS server, DNS Client, File replication services are started and set to automatic

10. Open SYSVOL in all domain controllers and check everything is same in all domain controllers.

Now you are ready to prepare Active Directory Domain and Forest.

1. Extract the Exchange2013-x64-cu3.EXE package you have downloaded from Microsoft web site to a common location. In my example I will use E:EXCHANGE2013

2. Open a command prompt as an Administrator, and navigate to the directory in which you extracted the files to. In the case of this example it will be E:Exchange2013. You should see a Setup.exe file located there.

3. Run the following cmd:

Setup.exe /PrepareSchema /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms

Setup.exe /PS /IacceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms

4. Run the following cmd:

Setup.exe /PrepareAD /OrganizationName:<NAMEHERE> /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms

Setup.exe /PAD /OrganizationName:<NAMEHERE> /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms

Now replicate Active Directory manually or wait for replication to complete. Verify event logs in Domain controllers to see any unexpected error or logs pops up or not. If everything looks fine then go ahead and install Exchange 2013.

Installing Exchange 2013 CU3

After you have downloaded Exchange 2013 CU2, log on to the computer on which you want to install Exchange 2013.
Navigate to the network location of the Exchange 2013 installation files.
Start Exchange 2013 Setup by right clicking Setup.exe select Run as administrator

Once rebooted log on to Exchange server and review Event Logs in Exchange Server.
Repeat the steps for all Exchange Server 2013 in your organisation.

Create a Test mailbox

1. Open the EAC by browsing to the URL of your Client Access server. For example, https://AUPEREXCAS01/ecp?ExchClientVer=15.

2. Enter the user name and password of the account you used to install Exchange 2013 in Domainuser name and Password, and then click Sign in.

3. Go to Recipients > Mailboxes. On the Mailboxes page, click Add and then select User mailbox.

4. Provide the information required for the new user and then click Save.

5. Go to Permissions > Admin Roles. On the Admin Roles page, select Organization Management and click Edit .

6. Under Members, click Add .

7. Select the Exchange 2013 mailbox you just created, click Add, then click OK. Then click Save.

Install Exchange 2013 certificates

Depending on your requirements, you can configure wild card certificate or a SAN certificate. I will go for SAN certificate to avoid further configuration such as certificate principal name configuration. In this example, I will create a SAN certificate which is as follows.

Open the EAC by browsing to the URL of your Client Access server. For example, https://AUPEREXCAS01/ecp?ExchClientVer=15.
Enter your user name and password in Domainuser name and Password, and then click Sign in.
Go to Servers > Certificates. On the Certificates page, make sure your Client Access server is selected in the Select server field, and then click New .
In the New Exchange certificate wizard, select Create a request for a certificate from a certification authority and then click Next.
Specify a name for this certificate and then click Next.
If you want to request a wildcard certificate, select Request a wild-card certificate and then specify the root domain of all subdomains in the Root domain field. If you don’t want to request a wildcard certificate and instead want to specify each domain you want to add to the certificate, leave this page blank. Click Next.
Click Browse and specify an Exchange server to store the certificate on. The server you select should be the Internet-facing Client Access server. Click Next.
For each service in the list shown, verify that the external or internal server names that users will use to connect to the Exchange server are correct. For example: CN=mail.superplaneteers.com and SAN=autodiscover.superplaneteers.com
These domains will be used to create the SSL certificate request. Click Next.
Add any additional domains you want included on the SSL certificate.
Select the domain that you want to be the common name for the certificate and click Set as common name. For example, mail.superplaneteers.com. Click Next.
Provide information about your organization. This information will be included with the SSL certificate. Click Next.
Specify the network location where you want this certificate request to be saved. Click Finish.

After you’ve saved the certificate request, submit the request to your certificate authority (CA) which is public CA. Clients that connect to the Client Access server must trust the CA that you use. After you receive the certificate from the CA, complete the following steps:

On the Server > Certificates page in the EAC, select the certificate request you created in the previous steps.
In the certificate request details pane, click Complete under Status.
On the Complete pending request page, specify the path to the SSL certificate file and then click OK.
Select the new certificate you just added, and then click Edit .
On the certificate page, click Services.
Select the services you want to assign to this certificate. At minimum, you should select IIS but you can also select IMAP, POP, SMTP and UM call router if you use these services. Click Save.
If you receive the warning Overwrite the existing default SMTP certificate?, click Yes.

To re-use existing certificate follow the steps below

Log on directly to your Exchange 2010 Client Access server with an administrator user account.
Open an empty Microsoft Management Console (MMC).
Click File, then Add/Remove Snap-in.
In the Add or Remove Snap-ins window, select Certificates and then click Add >.

Right-click on the certificate and select All Tasks and then Export….
In the Certificate Export Wizard, click Next.
Select Yes, export the private key and click Next.
Make sure Personal Information Exchange – PKCS #12 (.PFX) and Include all certificates in the certification path if possible are selected. Make sure no other options are selected. Click Next.
Select Password and enter a password to help secure your certificate. Click Next.
Specify a file name for the new certificate. Use the file extension .pfx. Click Next and then click Finish.
You’ll receive a confirmation prompt if the certificate export was successful. Click OK to close it.
Copy the .pfx file you created to your Exchange 2013 Client Access server.

After you’ve exported the certificate from your Exchange 2010 server, you need to import the certificate on your Exchange 2013 server using the following steps.

Log on directly to your Exchange 2013 Client Access server with an administrator user account.
Open an empty Microsoft Management Console (MMC).
Click File, then Add/Remove Snap-in.
In the Add or Remove Snap-ins window, select Certificates and then click Add >.

In the Password field, enter the password you used to help secure the certificate when you exported it on the Exchange 2010 Client Access server.
Verify that Include all extended properties is selected and click Next.
Verify that Place all certificates in the following store is selected and Personal is shown in Certificate store. Click Next. Click Finish.
You’ll receive a confirmation prompt if the certificate import was successful. Click OK to close it.

Now that the new certificate has been imported on your Exchange 2013 Client Access server, you need to assign it to your Exchange services using the following steps.

Open the EAC by browsing to the URL of your Client Access server. For example, https://Ex2013CAS/ECP.
Open the EAC by browsing to the URL of your Client Access server. For example, https://Ex2013/ECP.
Enter your user name and password in Domainuser name and Password, and then click Sign in.
On the Server > Certificates page in the EAC, select the new certificate you just added, and then click Edit .
On the certificate page, click Services.
Select the services you want to assign to this certificate. At minimum, you should select IIS but you can also select IMAP, POP, SMTP and UM call router if you use these services. Click Save.
If you receive the warning Overwrite the existing default SMTP certificate?, click Yes.

Configure Exchange 2013 external and internal URLs

Open the EAC by browsing to the URL of your Client Access server. For example, https://AUPEREXCAS01/ecp?ExchClientVer=15.
Enter your user name and password in Domainuser name and Password, and then click Sign in.
Go to Servers > Servers, select the name of the Internet-facing Exchange 2013 Client Access server and then click Edit .
Click Outlook Anywhere.
In the Specify the external hostname field, specify the externally accessible FQDN of the Client Access server. For example, mail.superplaneteers.com.
While you’re here, let’s also set the internally accessible FQDN of the Client Access server. In the Specify the internal hostname field, insert the FQDN you used in the previous step. For example, mail. superplaneteers.com.
Click Save.
Go to Servers > Virtual directories and then click Configure external access domain .
Under Select the Client Access servers to use with the external URL, click Add .
Select the Client Access servers you want to configure, and then click Add. After you’ve added all the Client Access servers you want to configure, click OK.
In Enter the domain name you will use with your external Client Access servers, type the external domain you want to apply. For example, mail.superplaneteers.com. Click Save.

Configure External and Internal URL to be same

Open the Exchange Management Shell on your Exchange 2013 Client Access server.
Store the host name of your Client Access server in a variable that will be used in the next step. For example, In my case, mail.superplaneteers.com

$HostName = “mail.superplaneteers.com “

3. Run each of the following commands in the Shell to configure each internal URL to match the virtual directory’s external URL.

Set-EcpVirtualDirectory “$HostNameECP (Default Web Site)” -InternalUrl ((Get-EcpVirtualDirectory “$HostNameECP (Default Web Site)”).ExternalUrl)

Set-WebServicesVirtualDirectory “$HostNameEWS (Default Web Site)” -InternalUrl ((get-WebServicesVirtualDirectory “$HostNameEWS (Default Web Site)”).ExternalUrl)

Set-ActiveSyncVirtualDirectory “$HostNameMicrosoft-Server-ActiveSync (Default Web Site)” -InternalUrl ((Get-ActiveSyncVirtualDirectory “$HostNameMicrosoft-Server-ActiveSync (Default Web Site)”).ExternalUrl)

Set-OabVirtualDirectory “$HostNameOAB (Default Web Site)” -InternalUrl ((Get-OabVirtualDirectory “$HostNameOAB (Default Web Site)”).ExternalUrl)

Set-OwaVirtualDirectory “$HostNameOWA (Default Web Site)” -InternalUrl ((Get-OwaVirtualDirectory “$HostNameOWA (Default Web Site)”).ExternalUrl)

Set-PowerShellVirtualDirectory “$HostNamePowerShell (Default Web Site)” -InternalUrl ((Get-PowerShellVirtualDirectory “$HostNamePowerShell (Default Web Site)”).ExternalUrl)

To verify that you have successfully configured the internal URL on the Client Access server virtual directories, do the following:

In the EAC, go to Servers > Virtual directories.
In the Select server field, select the Internet-facing Client Access server.
Select a virtual directory and then click Edit .
Verify that the Internal URL field is populated with the correct FQDN.

Move Arbitration Mailboxes

Follow the below steps to move all arbitration and discovery search mailboxes to 2013 database.

Open Exchange Management Shell with run as administrator and run the following cmds

Get‐Mailbox –Arbitration | New-MoveRequest –TargetDatabase TargetDBName

Get-Mailbox “*Discovery*” | New-MoveRequest –TargetDatabase TargetDBName

Type the following comdlets in EMS to find arbitration mailboxes and migrate using migration wizard.

Get-Mailbox –Arbitration >C:Arbitration.txt

Get-Mailbox “*Discovery*” >C:Discovery.txt

In the EAC, go to Recipients > Migration.
Click New , and then click Move to a different database.
On the New local mailbox move page, click Select the users that you want to move, and then click Add .
On the Select Mailbox page, add the mailbox that has the following properties:
- The display name is Microsoft Exchange.
- The alias of the mailbox’s email address is SystemMailbox{e0dc1c29-89c3-4034-b678-e6c29d823ed9}.
Click OK, and then click Next.
On the Move configuration page, type the name of the migration batch, and then click Browse next to the Target database box.
On the Select Mailbox Database page, add the mailbox database to move the system mailbox to. Verify that the version of the mailbox database that you select is Version 15. x, which indicates that the database is located on an Exchange 2013 server.
Click OK, and then click Next.
On the Start the batch page, select the options to automatically start and complete the migration request, and then click New.

Enable and configure Outlook Anywhere

To allow your Exchange 2013 Client Access server to redirect connections to your Exchange 2010 servers, you must enable and configure Outlook Anywhere on all of the Exchange 2010 servers in your organization. If some Exchange 2010 servers in your organization are already configured to use Outlook Anywhere, their configuration must also be updated to support Exchange 2013. When you use the steps below to configure Outlook Anywhere, the following configuration is set on each Exchange 2010 server:

Open the Exchange Management Shell on your Exchange 2010 Client Access server.
Store the external host name of your Exchange 2013 Client Access server in a variable that will be used in the next steps. For example, mail.superplaneteers.com.

$Exchange2013HostName = “mail.superplaneteers.com”

Run the following command to configure Exchange 2010 servers that already have Outlook Anywhere enabled to accept connections from Exchange 2013 servers.

Get-ExchangeServer | Where {($_.AdminDisplayVersion -Like “Version 14*”) -And ($_.ServerRole -Like “*ClientAccess*”)} | Get-ClientAccessServer | Where {$_.OutlookAnywhereEnabled -Eq $True} | ForEach {Set-OutlookAnywhere “$_RPC (Default Web Site)” -ClientAuthenticationMethod Basic -SSLOffloading $False -ExternalHostName $Exchange2013HostName -IISAuthenticationMethods NTLM, Basic}

If you didn’t enable Outlook Anywhere in Exchange 2010 already, Run the following command to enable Outlook Anywhere and configure Exchange 2010 to accept connections from Exchange 2013 servers.

Get-ExchangeServer | Where {($_.AdminDisplayVersion -Like “Version 14*”) -And ($_.ServerRole -Like “*ClientAccess*”)} | Get-ClientAccessServer | Where {$_.OutlookAnywhereEnabled -Eq $False} | Enable-OutlookAnywhere -ClientAuthenticationMethod Basic -SSLOffloading $False -ExternalHostName $Exchange2013HostName -IISAuthenticationMethods NTLM, Basic

Configure service connection point (SCP)

Autodiscover uses an Active Directory object called the service connection point (SCP) to retrieve a list of AutoDiscover URLs for the forest in which Exchange is installed. When you install Exchange 2013, you need to update the SCP object to point to the Exchange 2013 server. This is necessary because Exchange 2013 servers provide additional AutoDiscover information to clients to improve the discovery process.

You must update the SCP object configuration on every Exchange server in the organization. You need to use the version of the Exchange Management Shell that corresponds to the version of the Exchange servers you’re updating.

Perform the following steps to configure the SCP object on your Exchange 2010 servers.

Open the Exchange Management Shell on your Exchange 2010 Client Access server.
Store the AutoDiscover host name of your Exchange 2013 Client Access server in a variable that will be used in the next step. For example, autodiscover.superplaneteers.com.

$AutodiscoverHostName = “autodiscover.superplaneteers.com”

Run the following command to set the SCP object on every Exchange 2010 server to the AutoDiscover URL of the new Exchange 2013 server.

Get-ExchangeServer | Where {($_.AdminDisplayVersion -Like “Version 14*”) -And ($_.ServerRole -Like “*ClientAccess*”)} | Set-ClientAccessServer -AutoDiscoverServiceInternalUri https://$AutodiscoverHostName/Autodiscover/Autodiscover.xml

Perform the following steps to configure the SCP object on your Exchange 2013 servers.

Open the Exchange Management Shell on your Exchange 2013 Client Access server.
Store the AutoDiscover host name of your Exchange 2013 Client Access server in a variable that will be used in the next step. For example, autodiscover.superplaneteers.com.

$AutodiscoverHostName = “autodiscover.superplaneteers.com”

Run the following command to set the SCP object on every Exchange 2013 server to the AutoDiscover URL of the new Exchange 2013 server.

Get-ExchangeServer | Where {($_.AdminDisplayVersion -Like “Version 15*”) -And ($_.ServerRole -Like “*ClientAccess*”)} | Set-ClientAccessServer -AutoDiscoverServiceInternalUri https://$AutodiscoverHostName/Autodiscover/Autodiscover.xml

Configure Exchange 2013 Mail flow

Receive connectors

There are four receive connectors in Exchange 2013. They are:

· Default <server name> Accepts connections from Mailbox servers running the Transport service and from Edge servers.

· Client Proxy <server name> Accepts connections from front-end servers. Typically, messages are sent to a front-end server over SMTP.

· Default FrontEnd <server name> Accepts connections from SMTP senders over port 25. This is the common messaging entry point into your organization.

· Outbound Proxy Frontend <server name> Accepts messages from a Send Connector on a back-end server, with front-end proxy enabled.

1. Open the EAC by browsing to https://AUPEREXCAS01/ecp?ExchClientVer=15 of your Client Access server. Click Mail flow, Click Receive Connector

2. Select Default Frontend AUPERMBX01, Click on Edit or Pencil icon, On the Security Parameter, Select Anonymous, Click Save.

3. Repeat the steps for Default Frontend AUPERMBX02.

Send connector:

All you have to do is to add Exchange 2013 mailbox servers to the existing send connector as shown below:

Open Exchange management Shell as an administrator, execute the following command.

Set-SendConnector –Identity Outbound –SourceTransportServers AUPEREXMBX01, AUPEREXMBX02

1. Open the EAC by browsing to https://AUPEREXCAS01/ecp?ExchClientVer=15 of your Client Access server. Click Mail flow, Click Send Connector, Click Edit or Pencil icon

2. Click on scoping and + icon on Source Server parameter to add the server

3. Select the Exchange 2013 Mailbox servers (AUPEREXMBX01 and AUPEREXMBX02) and add them and Click save.

4. Send connector configuration completed.

Configure a smart host if necessary

1. In the EAC https://AUPEREXCAS01/ecp?ExchClientVer=15, navigate to Mail flow > Send connectors, and then click Add .

2. In the New send connector wizard, specify a name for the send connector and then select Custom for the Type. You typically choose this selection when you want to route messages to computers not running Microsoft Exchange Server 2013. Click Next.

3. Choose Route mail through smart hosts, and then click Add . In the Add smart host window, the fully qualified domain name (FQDN), such as relay.sjc.mx.trendmicro.com. Click Save.

4. Under Address space, click Add . In the Add domain window, make sure SMTP is listed as the Type. For Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN), enter * to specify that this send connector applies to messages sent to any domain. Click Save.

5. For Source server, click Add . In the Select a server window, choose a server and click Add . Click OK.

6. Click Finish.

Anonymous Relay

Create a new receive connector using Exchange Administration Center with the following parameters.

Name: Anonymous Relay
Role: Frontend Transport
Type: Custom
Available IP: Exchange 2013 server IP
Port: 25
Security: Anonymous
Authentication: TLS, Externally Secured
Permission: Exchange Servers, Anonymous users

1. Open the EAC by browsing to https://AUPEREXCAS01/ecp?ExchClientVer=15 of your Client Access server. Click Mail flow, Click Receive Connector, Click Add or + icon

2. Select an Exchange Mailbox Server name AUPEREXMBX01, Type Anonymous Relay on the name, Click Frontend transport, Select Custom, Click Next..

3. On the Network Adapter Binding, Add Exchange 2013 MBX Server IP (10.10.10.11) and port 25. On the remote network settings, add printer, scanner, device and application server IPs. Click Save to create Anonymous Relay.

4. Select newly created Anonymous relay, Click Edit or Pencil Icon, Click Security parameter, Select TLS, Externally Secured in Authentication and Select Exchange Servers, Anonymous users in Permission groups.

5. Open Exchange 2013 Management Shell and execute the following

Get-ReceiveConnector “Anonymous Relay” | Add-ADPermission -User “NT AUTHORITYANONYMOUS LOGON” -ExtendedRights “Ms-Exch-SMTP-Accept-Any-Recipient”

6. Open Exchange management Shell in Exchange 2010 execute cmdlet

Get-ReceiveConnector –Identity “Anonymous relay” | Fl

From PowerShell Windows copy all the IP addresses of printer and scanner to a notepad

7. Edit Anonymous Relay in Exchange 2013 Administration center and add all the IPs addresses you copied in previous step into remote network setting of Exchange 2013 relay.

8. Repeat step 1 to step 7 on all mailbox servers.

Configure Public Name Space

At this stage, you are ready to configure public DNS record. Update your public DNS record including Hosted Email Security. You only need to configure public DNS if you are changing public IPs and hosted email security otherwise you just have to change the port 443 and port 25 forwarding rule in internal Cisco router in your organization.

You public DNS must look similar to this table.

superplaneteers.com	MX	Mail.superplaneteers.com
mail.superplaneteers.com	A	203.17.x.x (Public IP)
autodiscover.superplaneteers.com	A	203.17.x.x (Public IP)

Request your ISP who provided you 203.17.x.x public IP to create reverse DNS record for mail.superplaneteers.com. This is very important for Exchange to function correctly. When you send email to a destination, many destination server checks reverse DNS. If reverse DNS is wrong you could be banned from sending email to destination server. Note that outlook.com check reverse DNS and SPF records of domain sending email to an outlook address.

Configure TMG/UAG

If you are publishing internet facing Exchange 2013 CAS using TMG or UAG, follow the URL below and publish Outlook Web App and Active Sync.

Publish-exchange-server-2010-using-forefront-uag-2010-step-by-step/

Publish-outlook-web-access-and-exchange-servers-using-forefront-tmg-2010/

Create internal DNS Record

Create Host(A) record with reverse DNS in the forward lookup zone of forest superplaneteers.com. Internal DNS records must look similar to this table.

FQDN	Record Type	IP Address
Mail.superplaneteers.com	A	10.10.10.16
Autodiscover.superplaneteers.com	A	10.10.10.16

If you don’t have CAS NLB or load balancer then your internal host(A) record must point to Exchange 2013 CAS server.

Open PowerShell as an administrator, execute the following

Resove-Dnsname mail.superplaneteers.com

Nslookup mail.superplaneteers.com

Configure Offline Address Book

To create a new offline address book and set the same OAB on all mailbox databases at once, run the following command. The command example uses “Default Offline Address Book” for the name of the OAB.

Open Exchange Management Shell, execute the cmdlets

New-OfflineAddressBook -Name “Default Offline Address Book” -AddressLists “Default Global Address List”

Restart-Service MSExchangeMailboxAssistants

Wait a few minutes and check if the OAB files is created in C:Program FilesMicrosoftExchange ServerV15ClientAccessOAB<newGUID>

Try to access the new OAB in IE: https://mail.superplaneteers.com/oab/<newguid/oab.xml

Get-MailboxDatabase | Set-MailboxDatabase -OfflineAddressBook “Default Offline Address Book (Ex2013)”

To Change the generation server open Exchange 2010 Management Shell and run the following command:

Move-OfflineAddressBook –Identity “Default Offline Address Book” –Server AUPERCAS01,AUPERCAS02

Configure new transport rule in Exchange 2013 or Export transport rules from legacy Exchange.

Follow this reference if you are migrating from Exchange 2007

You cannot migrate transport rules from Exchange Server 2007 to Exchange Server 2013

The following cmdlet example exports all your Transport Rules to the XML file, ExportedRules.xml, in the “c:TransportRules” folder:

Export-TransportRuleCollection -FileName “c:TransportRulesExportedRules.xml”

The following example cmdlet imports your transport rule collection from the XML file ExportedRules.xml in the “C:TransportRules” folder

[Byte[]]$Data = Get-Content -Path “C:TransportRulesExportedRules.xml” -Encoding Byte -ReadCount 0 Import-TransportRuleCollection -FileData $Data

To create new Transport rule,

1. Open the EAC by browsing to https://AUPEREXCAS01/ecp?ExchClientVer=15 of your Client Access server.

Enter your user name and password in Domainuser name and Password, and then click Sign in.
Click Mail Flow, Click Rules, Click Add or + Icon, Type the Name of Rule, Select rule conditions, Click More Option.
Select Date when you would like to activate the rule
Click whether you would like to enforce the rule or test the rule
Follow the wizard to finish the rule settings.

Move mailboxes to Exchange 2013

Open the EAC by browsing to https://AUPEREXCAS01/ecp?ExchClientVer=15 of your Client Access server.
Enter your user name and password in Domainuser name and Password, and then click Sign in.
Go to Recipients > Migration, click Add and then select Move to a different database.
Under Select the users that you want to move, click Add .
In the Select Mailbox window, select the mailboxes you want to move, click Add and then OK.
Verify that the mailboxes you want to move are listed and then click Next.
Specify a name for the new mailbox move and verify that Move the primary mailbox and the archive mailbox if one exists is selected.
Under Target database, click Browse.
In the Select Mailbox Database window, select a mailbox database on the Exchange 2013 server that you want to move the mailboxes to, click Add and then OK.
Verify that the mailbox database displayed in Target database is correct and then click Next.
Decide which user should receive the mailbox move report once the move is complete. By default, the current user will receive the move report. If you want to change which user receives the report, click Browse and select a different user.
Verify Automatically start the batch is selected.
Decide whether you want to have mailbox moves automatically complete. During the finalization phase, the mailbox is unavailable for a short time. If you choose to complete the mailbox move manually, you can decide when the move is finalized. For example, you might want to finalize the move during off-work hours. Select or clear Automatically complete the migration batch.

14. Click Finish.

Open Exchange Management Shell

Migrate Public Folder

In Exchange 2013, public folders were re-engineered using mailbox infrastructure to take advantage of the existing high availability and storage technologies of the mailbox database. Public folder architecture uses specially designed mailboxes to store both the public folder hierarchy and the content. This also means that there’s no longer a public folder database. High availability for the public folder mailboxes is provided by a database availability group (DAG).

There are two types of public folder mailboxes: the primary hierarchy mailbox and secondary hierarchy mailboxes. Both types of mailboxes can contain content:

Primary hierarchy mailbox The primary hierarchy mailbox is the one writable copy of the public folder hierarchy. The public folder hierarchy is copied to all other public folder mailboxes, but these will be read-only copies.
Secondary hierarchy mailboxes Secondary hierarchy mailboxes contain public folder content as well and a read-only copy of the public folder hierarchy.

There are two ways you can manage public folder mailboxes:

In the Exchange admin center (EAC), navigate to Public folders > Public folder mailboxes.

Before you migrate public folder, I would recommend creating new separate mailbox database in Exchange 2013 then start the migration process.

Step1: Perform Perquisites
Download all four of the Microsoft Exchange 2013 public folder migration scripts and save the script in C:PFScripts
Prerequisites in Exchange 2010 Server
Open Exchange Management Shell in Exchange 2010 server, run the following cmdlets one by one.
Run the following command to take a snapshot of the original source folder structure.
Get-PublicFolder -Recurse | Export-CliXML C:PFMigrationLegacy_PFStructure.xml

Run the following command to take a snapshot of public folder statistics such as item count, size, and owner
Get-PublicFolderStatistics | Export-CliXML C:PFMigrationLegacy_PFStatistics.xml

Run the following command to take a snapshot of the permissions.
Get-PublicFolder -Recurse | Get-PublicFolderClientPermission | Select-Object Identity,User -ExpandProperty AccessRights | Export-CliXML C:PFMigrationLegacy_PFPerms.xml

Save the information from the preceding commands for comparison at the end of the migration.
In Exchange 2010, to locate public folders that have a backslash in the name, run the following command:
Get-PublicFolderStatistics -ResultSize Unlimited | Where {$_.Name -like “**”} | Format-List Name, Identity

In Exchange 2007, to locate public folders that have a backslash in the name, run the following command:
Get-PublicFolderDatabase | ForEach {Get-PublicFolderStatistics -Server $_.Server | Where {$_.Name -like “**”}}

If any public folders are returned, you can rename them by running the following command:
Set-PublicFolder -Identity <public folder identity> -Name <new public folder name>

Make sure there isn’t a previous record of a successful migration. If there is, you’ll need to set that value to $false. If the value is set to $true the migration request will fail.
The following example checks the public folder migration status.
Get-OrganizationConfig | Format-List PublicFoldersLockedforMigration, PublicFolderMigrationComplete

Set-OrganizationConfig -PublicFoldersLockedforMigration:$false -PublicFolderMigrationComplete:$false

Prerequisites on Exchange 2013
Make sure there are no existing public folder migration requests. If there are, clear them.
Get-PublicFolderMigrationRequest | Remove-PublicFolderMigrationRequest -Confirm:$false

To make sure there are no existing public folders on the Exchange 2013 servers, run the following commands.
Get-Mailbox -PublicFolder
Get-PublicFolder

If the above commands return any public folders, use the following commands to remove the public folders.
Get-MailPublicFolder | where $_.EntryId -ne $null | Disable-MailPublicFolder -Confirm:$false
Get-PublicFolder -GetChildren | Remove-PublicFolder -Recurse -Confirm:$false
Get-Mailbox -PublicFolder |Remove-Mailbox -PublicFolder -Confirm:$false

Step2: Generate CSV Files
On the Exchange 2010 server, run the Export-PublicFolderStatistics.ps1 script to create the folder name-to-folder size mapping file.
.Export-PublicFolderStatistics.ps1 <Folder to size map path> <FQDN of source server>

Run the PublicFolderToMailboxMapGenerator.ps1 script to create the public folder-to-mailbox mapping file. This file is used to create the correct number of public folder mailboxes on the Exchange 2013 Mailbox server.
.PublicFolderToMailboxMapGenerator.ps1 <Maximum mailbox size in bytes> <Folder to size map path> <Folder to mailbox map path>

<Folder to size map path> is \AUPEREX2010c$PFstat.csv
<Maximum mailbox size in bytes> is 20000000
<Folder to mailbox map path> is \AUPEREX2010c$PFMigrationmapgen.csv

Step3: Create public folder mailboxes on Exchange 2013
Run the following command to create the first public folder mailbox on the Exchange 2013 Mailbox server.
New-Mailbox -PublicFolder <Name> -HoldForMigration:$true –database “Exchange 2013 database”

Run the following command to create additional public folder mailboxes as needed based on the .csv file generated from the PublicFoldertoMailboxMapGenerator.ps1 script.

$numberOfMailboxes = 25;
for($index =1 ; $index -le $numberOfMailboxes ; $index++)
{
$PFMailboxName = “Mailbox”+$index; if($index -eq 1) {New-Mailbox -PublicFolder $PFMailboxName -HoldForMigration:$true -IsExcludedFromServingHiearchy:$true;}else{NewMailbox-PublicFolder $PFMailboxName -IsExcludedFromServingHierarchy:$true}
}

Step4: Start Migration request

Legacy system public folders such as OWAScratchPad and the schema-root folder subtree in Exchange 2007 won’t be recognized by Exchange 2013 and will be treated as bad items. This will cause the migration to fail. As part of the migration request, you must specify a value for the BadItemLimit parameter.

From the Exchange 2013 Mailbox server, run the following command:

$PublicFolderDatabasesInOrg = @(Get-PublicFolderDatabase)
$BadItemLimitCount = 5 + ($PublicFolderDatabasesInOrg.Count -1)
New-PublicFolderMigrationRequest -SourceDatabase (Get-PublicFolderDatabase -Server <Source server name>) -CSVData (Get-Content <Folder to mailbox map path> -Encoding Byte) -BadItemLimit $BadItemLimitCount

To verify that the migration started successfully, run the following command.
Get-PublicFolderMigrationRequest | Get-PublicFolderMigrationRequestStatistics -IncludeReport | Format-List

Step 5: Lock Source Server
On the Exchange 2010 server, run the following command to lock the legacy public folders for finalization.

Set-OrganizationConfig -PublicFoldersLockedForMigration:$true

Step6: Finalize public folder migration
Set-PublicFolderMigrationRequest -Identity PublicFolderMigration -PreventCompletion:$false
Resume-PublicFolderMigrationRequest -Identity PublicFolderMigration

Step7: Test Public Folder Migration
Run the following command to assign some test mailboxes to use any newly migrated public folder mailbox as the default public folder mailbox
Set-Mailbox -Identity <Test User> -DefaultPublicFolderMailbox <Public Folder Mailbox Identity>

Log on to Outlook 2007 or later with the test user identified in the previous step, and then perform the following public folder tests:

Post Migration Check

1. Verify Internal and external DNS records and aliases of autodiscover and mail are pointing to Exchange 2013 CAS server or load balancer VIP or CAS NLB IP. At this stage do not delete Host(A) record of legacy exchange servers until you decommission them.

2. Point your Spam Guard or hosted email security to forward all the emails to exchange 2013 to receive incoming mail via Exchange 2013.

3. Configure Spam Guard or hosted email security to accept emails from all Exchange 2013 Mailbox servers.

4. Configure smart host if necessary.

5. Configure all other application to send email via the Exchange 2013 Mailbox Servers

6. Test inbound and outbound email from outlook client and mobile devices.

7. Start Monitoring Exchange, Open EMS and execute Get-mailbox –monitoring

8. Go to https://testconnectivity.microsoft.com/ to test connectivity of Exchange 2013

9. Go to http://mxtoolbox.com/ to test your MX, Reverse DNS and DNS records.

Decommission Legacy Exchange Server

Before you decommission legacy Exchange server, make sure you have completed the following tasks

Make sure public and internal DNS, MX and CNAME are correct.
Move all user mailboxes to Exchange 2013.
Move all room mailboxes to Exchange 2013.
Move all public folders to Exchange 2013
Move all arbitration mailboxes to Exchange 2013.
Move all Discovery Search mailboxes to Exchange 2013
Add all Exchange 2013 mailbox servers in all the send connectors and remove the Exchange 2007/2010 servers from Send Connector.
Create new anonymous relay receive connectors in Exchange 2013 and all IPs in remote network settings properties of relay
Ensure you have configured Autodiscover correctly at AutoDiscoverServiceInternalUri properties if all CAS 2013. Issue Get-ClientAccessServer | fl cmdlet to view internal url of autodiscover.

10. Remove Exchange 2010 CAS arrays. Execute Get-clientaccessarray | remove-ClientAccessArray in Exchange 2010 management shell

11. Point all the applications to use Exchange 2013 SMTP.

12. Test inbound and outbound email from various supported clients.

Now is the time to shutdown legacy exchange servers in your organization and test Exchange 2013 mail flow again. Make sure you shut down the server during working hours and working days. Keep the legacy exchange down for at least 48hrs. To decommission legacy Exchange follow the steps

1. Bring all legacy servers online means power on all servers which were down in previous step.

2. Remove all Public Folder replicas else Public Folder Database will not be removed. To remove public folder replicas, open Exchange Management Console in exchange 2010, Click Tools, Open Public Folder Management Console, Select Default Public Folder, Click properties, Click Replication, Remove exchange 2010 database from replication. Repeat the same for systems public folder.

3. Remove Exchange 2007/2010 mailbox database and Public folder databases from EMC or EMS.

4. Go to Control Panel to remove Exchange 2007/2010. On Program and Features screen click on Uninstall. On the Maintenance Mode page of the Exchange Server 2007/2010 Setup wizard begins the process of removing your Exchange installation. Click Next to continue.

5. On the Server Role Selection page, uncheck in 2007/2010 all Exchange server roles and Exchange management tools to remove. In Exchange 2007 CCR remove passive node first then follow the same steps on active node. Click next to continue.

6. On the Readiness Checks page, view the status to determine if the organization and server role prerequisite checks completed successfully. If the prerequisites check doesn’t complete successfully, review the Summary page and fix any issues that are preventing Setup from removing exchange 2007/2010. If the checks have completed successfully, click Uninstall to remove the entire installation of Exchange 2007/2010.

7. On the Completion page, click Finish.

8. Verify the setup log files and folder located at c:ExchangeSetupLogs.

9. Uninstall Internet Information Services (IIS) from windows Server 2008 or add/remove program and features in Windows Server 2003.

10. Disjoin the legacy Exchange servers from the Domain.

11. Delete Host(A) DNS record of Legacy Exchange Server. Delete ONLY legacy DNS record.
