Oh yeah and it was simply that the Database didn't have an OAB selected. The docs refer to an valid location in 2007, in 2010 its under organization not server. Soon as I clicked and updated OAB about 30 mins later everything just lit up.
I know how it happened so I wont be making that mistake again. -----Original Message----- From: Jean-Paul natola [mailto:jnat...@hotmail.com] Sent: Sunday, May 23, 2010 12:07 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Need some 2010 help then its your IIS settings , you should NOT get prompted and you should see a pge like this Sunday, May 23, 2010 <dir> 159cec19-5a98-42e4-b1c9-d0ad5717405f Friday, April 02, 2010 210 web.config Jean-Paul Natola Subject: RE: Need some 2010 help Date: Sun, 23 May 2010 12:00:59 -0400 From: greg.swe...@actsconsulting.net To: exchangelist@lyris.sunbelt-software.com Thanks Jean-Paul, It prompts me for authentication and then gives me 403 - Forbidden: Access is denied.

Free busy is good to any mailboxes on the 2010 server, but not to 2003. I am about to check replication status, but I am pretty sure its not done. Not sure why else OAB would fail for 2007 clients on 2010 server, public folders are not needed for OAB, only backwards for 2003 clients.

Soon as you click download it pops a 8004011d error message. Just started looking at that.

Going to use the transporter..hopefully..haven't read all the docs yet completely. Fortunately it's a small Bes implementation so it's a good practice ground if it doesn't work. I would love to hear any gotchas. We have been running the new Bes Express on a few clients under 2003 and 2007 for awhile so fortunately we are familiar with the new product. Now I am working through a mailbox that I just moved, everything works but the OAB.. Soon as you click download it pops a 8004011d error message. Just started looking at that. Seems to be common for OAB errors. Waiting on replication of public folders to complete then I will give it a look see.

I changed my DNS for legacy to point to their 2nd IP that was pointed to their old server and shazaam.. Went to the old link, get the 2010 OWA and then straight to the 2003 page without having to relogin. When I inspected the web link it was coming up with I went into IIS on the 2010 server and discovered the folder structure didn't match and the file actually was not there...Went to the 2003 folder and saw it was there which is when I realized it was redirecting not proxying. So then I reread the docs on 2010 and how CAS handles it and its clear as day..Redirection instead of proxy. 2007 proxied it. Of course none of it worked right until I disabled kernel mode authentication. Thx Jean! Now to let it rest for a day make sure all is well and then onto BES.. Weekend at last!!

Not a whole lot out there and I don't have my test servers up. Found a few bits here and there. Heading over the water at noon, so it will be a weekend fix for me. Everything but OWA to the 2003 box is up. I restored from a backup the web.config file and I got /owa up and working and it actually redirects to legacy namespace internally, but from outside I get a 404 file not found. Cannot figure that out at all. The 2003 box works perfectly even if I do the legacy.fqdn.com/exchange Everyone suggests removing CAS and reinstalling it, but I don't think I am there yet.

Did my first live 2003 to 2010 integration . everything went perfectly, until I got the bright idea to try and make redirection happen automatically...Then everything broke. Tried to change it back and no love. Got ActiveSync, Outlook anywhere and OWA to work but it will only redirect to the 2003 Mailboxes using the legacy namespace INTERNALLY. If I do it from outside I get a 404 file not found error. Prior to the redirection, I could access from /owa or /exchange and I got to the 2010 OWA and a login to a 2003 mb redirected me perfectly to the legacy namespace and all was well. After I tried the redirection at the default website..it all broke. Undid the redirections on the sub sites and rebooted IIS and those came back up but not OWA. Coming from Single Exchange 2003 Server. Forms, etc.. all is good. Single Exchange 2010 with CAS, transport, and MB roles. Activesync, Outlook anywhere all work. OWA works if I connect to a mailbox on the 2010 server and I goto the fqdn with /owa If I try /exchange...WHICH DID WORK.. I now get this.
