ex 5.5 <--> ex 2000 ... install problems

2002-02-08 Thread Wohlgemuth, Mike

Hi ...

Here is what we have done ...

-run forestprep at the top level of our forest as schema admin, domain admin
-run domainprep in the doamins that will be housing users and the EX 2000
server as domain admin of the respective domains
-establish 2 way trusts between the NT4 domain and the doamins that will be
housing users and the EX 2000 server 
-installed EX 2000 in the doamin that will be housing the EX servers
-establish CA agreements between the Ex 5.5 containers and the 2000 server
that will house their account 

Everything we have tested works (i.e. creating mailboxes in the 2000,
sending/recieving mail, Web access ..) EXCEPT these 3 things .

1) whenever we try to move a mailbox from the 5.5 server to the 2000 server
we get an error that says ...

"An internal processing error has occurred. Try restarting the Exchange
System Manager or the Microsoft Exchange Information Store service, or
both."

Both of which do nothing to resolve the problem 

2) IIS admin server has stop errors on the public,exchange, exchange admin
folders with a status of "The system could not find the path specified" ...
even though you can browse to the path with IIS admin AND the web access
works just fine!

3) If we apply sp2 to our exchange server, the virtual M drive dissappears
and several services don't start because they can't find the information
stores ...


What did we do wrong? Should we go back and start again ? 

Thanks in advance ...

Mike

RE: ex 5.5 <--> ex 2000 ... install problems

2002-02-08 Thread Elmer Stöwer

Interesting...

I did the same steps here, and I have issue 2), too.
I also can't open the public folder in the system manager under our site 
(administration --> site --> folder --> public folder). I get the error message 
www-service not startet. I can open it, when I use the server folder instead 
(administration --> site --> newserver --> ...).
I hoped to get rid of it after removing the old server.

We are able to access our mailboxes and public folders via OWA (at least internal . 
External we still have FireWall issues, but only with public folders. ErrorMessage: 
-2147467259).

to issue 1)
We had mapi problems with some of the user's mailboxes. When I tryied to export them 
with exmerge I found out that the mailboxes had messages with invalid attachments in 
it. After deleting these messages, it worked fine.

All the best

Elmer

RE: ex 5.5 <--> ex 2000 ... install problems

2002-02-08 Thread Ken Cornetet

Wow! Deja Vu!

I just had *exactly* #1 and #2. Here's the "fix":

1. Use the AD users and computers tool to move the mailboxes, not the E5.5
admin tool.

2. I stopped and restarted the "World Wide Web Publishing" service.

3. Ouch! I did not have this happen... Look in the event log and see if
EXIFS is loading. If not, try to figure out why.

RE: ex 5.5 <--> ex 2000 ... install problems

2002-02-11 Thread Maclaren, Andrew

Number 2 is due to the order in which services on the Exchange server start
up.  IIS gets going before the installable file system mounts the m: drive
(which is where IIS is looking for the virtual directory data).  So when IIS
starts the M: drive doesn't exist and it complains, shortly afterwards the
M: drive appears so when you look at it later you can browse the files and
folders.

Subject: ex 5.5 <--> ex 2000 ... install problems


Hi ...

Here is what we have done ...

-run forestprep at the top level of our forest as schema admin, domain admin
-run domainprep in the doamins that will be housing users and the EX 2000
server as domain admin of the respective domains
-establish 2 way trusts between the NT4 domain and the doamins that will be
housing users and the EX 2000 server 
-installed EX 2000 in the doamin that will be housing the EX servers
-establish CA agreements between the Ex 5.5 containers and the 2000 server
that will house their account 

Everything we have tested works (i.e. creating mailboxes in the 2000,
sending/recieving mail, Web access ..) EXCEPT these 3 things .

1) whenever we try to move a mailbox from the 5.5 server to the 2000 server
we get an error that says ...

"An internal processing error has occurred. Try restarting the Exchange
System Manager or the Microsoft Exchange Information Store service, or
both."

Both of which do nothing to resolve the problem 

2) IIS admin server has stop errors on the public,exchange, exchange admin
folders with a status of "The system could not find the path specified" ...
even though you can browse to the path with IIS admin AND the web access
works just fine!

3) If we apply sp2 to our exchange server, the virtual M drive dissappears
and several services don't start because they can't find the information
stores ...


What did we do wrong? Should we go back and start again ? 

Thanks in advance ...

Mike
