Exchange 2013 ECP fails with 500 Unexpected error after running Hybrid Configuration Wizard with Office 365

Leave a comment

Symptoms

After you attempt to try Hybrid Configuration Wizard between Exchange 2013 SP1 and Exchange online (Office 365), You are unable to login to your OWA/ECP Page and instead you get an 500 unexpected error:

clip_image001

If you go to event viewer You might find Event ID 4 which shows the error:

clip_image002

Cause:

The HCW or “Hybrid Configuration Wizard” In Exchange 2013 (CU6 or 8) might cause some changes to your CAS folder in the following path and file.

“c:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\ClientAccess\ecp\DDI”` the file name is RemoteDomains.xaml and multiply some variables which causes ECP to fail and report that error.

Error:

Solution:

Looking in the path I have wrote above “\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\ClientAccess\ecp\DDI” and opening the file that I have mentioned “RemoteDomains.xaml” you can clearly see there are incorrect format that have been duplicated 3 times.

clip_image003

To make sure that this was the cause, I have another server with CU8 on it so I went and checked the same file which was in the same location to find the result different.

This is the server that works in another environment and doesn’t have any issue.

clip_image004

So, the solution was to remove the two duplicates and correct the format of the variable line… I corrected the first line that includes

<Variable DataObjectName=”RemoteDomain” Name=”TargetDeliveryDomain” Type=”{x:Type s:Boolean}” />

And deleted the other two identical lines.. then I saved the file and closed notepad.

clip_image005

Next: Open IIS on the same server and go to “Application Pools” right click on the affected pools and Recycle them.. You don’t need to reset IIS as the fix should work right away.

Recycle ECP Pool

clip_image006

After recycling checking if the pool is reporting started or not…

Next I open ECP and it works without an issue

Exchange 2010 to 2013 Migration fails with “You cannot have ArchiveDomain set when archive is not enabled for this user”

Leave a comment

You cannot have ArchiveDomain set when archive is not enabled for this user.

I have previously done a Hybrid integration with Office 365 with my Exchange 2010 server and enabled Archiving online when I migrated my user to Exchange online but then I finished my demo and decided to bring the user back on-premises.

Now I have deployed Exchange 2013 and wanted to migrate the same user to Exchange 2013 from 2010 but the migration request fails with the following message.

On Exchange 2010, I launched Exchange Management shell and ran the following cmdlet which will show any attribute that has arch in it for the user Mohammed

Get-mailbox User | fl arch*

clip_image002

Since there’s no archive mailbox then the archive domain is invalid and I don’t even own it anymore as it has expired a while ago.

Resolution:

I will try to remove the archive domain object from the user’s properties using the following cmdlet

Set-mailbox mailboxname -ArchiveDomain $null

clip_image003

Using the above cmdlet seems to fail due to this property being administered by Exchange server so it’ll have to be removed manually.

I will open the user’s attribute and delete the value and try to continue the migration again.

I’ll click on Edit then Clear and OK

Prepare Schema for Exchange 2013 Migration while having Hybrid Integration with Exchange 2010

Leave a comment

In a very interesting situation that I came through I had an environment with two DCs and Exchange 2010 that I had previously setup for Hybrid integration with Office 365 for demonstration with a trial subscription but I haven’t removed the integration after I finished my test and the trial expired and the tenant was deleted.

Next I intended to upgrade my existing Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013 and setup coexistence between them however, I have stumbled in the step of preparation of AD schema for Exchange 2013. While trying to prepare the schema I got the following error

clip_image001

A hybrid deployment with Office 365 has been detected. Please ensure that you are running setup with the /TenantOrganizationConfig switch. To use the TenantOrganizationConfig switch you must first connect to your Exchange Online tenant via PowerShell and execute the following command: “Get-OrganizationConfig | Export-Clixml -Path MyTenantOrganizationConfig.XML”. Once the XML file has been generated, run setup with the TenantOrganizationConfig switch as follows “/TenantOrganizationConfig MyTenantOrganizationConfig.XML”.

If you continue to see this this message then it indicates that either the XML file specified is corrupt, or you are attempting to upgrade your on-premises Exchange installation to a build that isn’t compatible with the Exchange version of your Office 365 tenant. Your Office 365 tenant must be upgraded to a compatible version of Exchange before upgrading your on-premises Exchange installation. For

The Office 365 Hybrid setup was still there in my Exchange Console and since I couldn’t follow MS’s recommended steps to connect to O365 tenant and get the XML file then I had to do things manually.

First I connected to the EMC and removed all the instances that were created during the Exchange Hybrid Wizard Configuration

Since remove-hybridconfiguration cmdlet is not supported to remove the hybrid configuration object from AD then we have no choice but to use ADSIEDIT tool to do so.

I will navigate to Configuration > Services > Microsoft Exchange > First Organization > Delete “CN=Hybrid Configuration”

Now I will try again to prepare AD schema for Exchange 2013 but I got a different error

in ExchangeSetup.log located in the <SystemDrive>:\ExchangeSetupLogs folder.

Checking the ldif.err file mentioned in the error above it seems that Exchange is complaining because the changes of the AD schema is not being replicated to the other AD partners which is true since I have another additional DC that’s turned off.

clip_image001[19]

After turning on the other DC we’ll see what happens

The other DC had another issue as I have turned it off for long time and it was not syncing due to expired Tomb stone life so I had to fix this issue as well and I have published it in a different article.

Please click here to see how the replication issue was fixed.

Issue has been fixed
