Exchange 2010 to 2019 problems

Copper Contributor

Hi ,

I will try to explain my situation as best as I can.

 

We are still running exchange 2010 DAG and we wanted to upgrade to 2016 and then migrate to 2019.

 

Did my fair share of servers but this one baffles me.

T

he problem is setup fails on the arbitration mailboxes i tried to delete them / recreate them and then enable-mailbox on them but the error i get is that they are configured on exchange 1.1 ( exchange 2016) by preparead.

 

I cant do preparead and then enable the arbitration mailboxes on exchange 2010 because my forest levels and exchange schema's are higher than SP3 ofcourse.

 

I am stuck because I can't enable-mailbox-arbitration without a powershell that is connecting to 2016 and that does not work because setup keeps failing on mailbox role.

 

So tdlr :

Installed 2016 CU19  , setup failed with mandatory database error 

Deleted all the arbitration mailboxes and did prepare ad with 2016 to recreate them

Cant enable them because I dont have a working exchange 2016 powershell.

Deleted them again and tried with my old exchange 2010 server and cant enable the arbitration mailboxes with the commands because it states that my version objects are ready only and are created in 1.1.

Tried changing the version number of exchange in adsiedit to do a SP3  setup preparead and that fails because Exchange 2016 CU19 upgraded my schemas...

 

There are 156 customers on this server alone so starting all over is not really a option.


I am open to advice.

 

This is very important for me in the hope some one can help me :)

 

Thanks in advance and excuse my poor grammatical english.

Hey @DutchAdmin12 

 

Could you possibly provide some more information from ExchangeSetupLogs folder around the exact error you are getting, arbitration mailboxes are known to cause issues during installation, take a look here and see if it helps: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/53486.error-solved-exchange-2016-databas...

 

Thanks

I am missing why you can't do setup.exe /PrepareAD using Exchange 2016 instead of 2010. Can you do that in the current state, or the failure due to bad arbitration mailbox state(s) is happening even during /PrepareAD?
I can use preparead and the arbitration mailboxes are in the AD after that but I cant mailbox-enable them because I dont have a working exchange powershell.

I can use the exchange 2010 powershell but then it states that the object is created as read only in exchange 1.1 and 2010 is 1.0 if I use the mailbox enable command.

Here are the logs :

I did /preparead with exchange 2016 but you need to mail-enable them after to see them and that does not work because I dont have a working exchange 2016 powershell. Exchange 2010 powershell cant enable them because it says read only and object is made in 1.1 and this is exchange 1.0

 

Here are the setup logs :

I see now what you mean. I wonder if you can go into ADSI Edit and modify msExchVersion to be 44220983382016 (which translates to 0.10 (14.0.100.0) in Exchange PowerShell).

If you do that, you might then be able to work from Exchange 2010 Powershell to mail-enable.

I had to recently do the opposite, where I changed a 2010-versioned user to be 2016's version number (did it via Attribute Editor tab in ADUC). This allowed me to do Enable-RemoteMailbox -Archive from an Exchange 2016 PowerShell which was failing prior to the change due to the Exchange version of the recipient being 2010. I only state this recent experience because it was a successful trick that Exchange was fooled by. So I'm hopeful you might get lucky too.
Hi Jeremy , thank you for the reply that worked.
Setup was almost done but than this popped up :

I tried this https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/architecture/mailbox-servers/recreate-arbitration-mailboxe...
Get-Mailbox "SystemMailbox{bb558c35-97f1-4cb9-8ff7-d53741dc928c}" -Arbitration | Set-Mailbox -Arbitration -UMGrammar $true -OABGen $true -GMGen $true -ClientExtensions $true -MessageTracking $true -PstProvider $true -MaxSendSize 1GB -Force3

$OABMBX = Get-Mailbox "SystemMailbox{bb558c35-97f1-4cb9-8ff7-d53741dc928c}" -Arbitration; Set-ADUser $OABMBX.SamAccountName -Add @{"msExchCapabilityIdentifiers"="40","42","43","44","47","51","52","46"}

But i cant do this 2 commands i get this error instead on the powershell :
This task does not support recipients of this type. The specified recipient office.local/Users/SystemMailbox{bb558c35-9
7f1-4cb9-8ff7-d53741dc928c} is of type UserMailbox. Please make sure that this recipient matches the required recipient

@DutchAdmin12 I'm still in guessing mode on this one but I'm hoping you can update msExchRecpientTypeDetails via AD to be 8388608 (Arbitration mailbox) and msExchRecipientDisplayType to 10.

msExchMailboxTemplateLink looks potentially-important, but I wouldn't change it until you test after only changing msExchRecipientTypeDetails to be 8388608 and msExchRecipientDisplayType to 10.

@Jeremy Bradshaw  Thank you for the reply.

 

I checked the atrributes and there exactly the same. Looks like my AD or something is corrupted or not accesible.

 

Deleted my previous post because I got it working somewhat on one thing.

 

I reinstalled a new server and tried some new things and now my powershell in 2016 is working.

 

The last error i am getting is this :

9-8ff7-d53741dc928c}" -Arbitration | Set-Mailbox -Arbitration -UMGrammar $true -OABGen $true -GMGen $true -ClientExtensions $true -Me

HomeDB is filled in on BB558 arbitration mailbox.

I am so close to fixing it :)
