Screencast: How to Complete Exchange 2013 Upgrade without Migrating the Public Folders

by admin

 

Upgrade Videos:Exchange 2013 Tips and Tricks: “The public folder database cannot be deleted. Object is read only because it was created by a future version of Exchange.”
Upgrade to Exchange 2013 when:

  • There are no Public Folders
  • The existing Public Folders are not used anymore

If you have no Public Folders to migrate (ex. there are just a few small ones – not used anymore), you might wonder how to complete the Exchange 2013 upgrade. Simply deleting recursively the existing Public Folders and trying to delete the PF Database results in the following error message:
The public folder database cannot be deleted

Dealing with the Public Folders has always been one of the most confusing parts of the Exchange upgrades, and that’s particularly true about Exchange 2013. Unfortunately, there isn’t much documentation about the case where you need to complete the upgrade process without migrating Public Folders. While using “ADSIEdit” has been the only option in the Exchange 2013 RTM version, Exchange 2013 CU1 and later allows you to perform this task in a friendly and safe manner.

In the following Screencast How to Upgrade to Exchange 2013 without Migrating Public Folders, we demonstrate how to complete the Exchange 2013 upgrade without migrating the Public Folders:

Video: How to Connect to Exchange Online Using Remote PowerShell. Adding a Domain and Bulk Modifying Email Addresses.

by admin

 

Free Video :Office 365 Administration
Bulk Operations and Common Tasks

  • Add a Domain to Office 365 and Configure DNS Records
  • Edit PowerShell Profile and Automate Remote Connection to Office 365 and Exchange Online
  • Bulk Modify User Principal Names and Email Addresses

[floated align=”left”]Office 365[/floated] Admin Center is, usually, the preferred interface for performing administrative tasks. When it comes to bulk operations, though, PowerShell is the way to go. We’ve already demonstrated how to connect to Office 365 using remote PowerShell, and how to bulk create, license, and modify users. For your convenience, we’ve also demonstrated how to automate the process of connecting to Office 365 by creating/editing your PowerShell profile.

In this video, we go through the next logical steps:

  • Adding a domain
  • Configuring PowerShell for Remote Connection to Exchange Online
  • Exporting the Existing User Accounts to a CSV file
  • Bulk Editing User Principal Names and E-mail Addresses

===================
bulk-change-UPN.ps1
===================
# Import data from a CSV file and store it in a variable “$data”
$data = import-csv $args[0]
$Old_Domain = “NetoMeter.onmicrosoft.com”
$New_Domain = “3demo.com”
foreach ($i in $data)
{
$UPN = $i.UserPrincipalName
$New_UPN = $UPN -replace $Old_Domain, $New_Domain
Set-MsolUserPrincipalName -UserPrincipalName $UPN -NewUserPrincipalName $New_UPN
}

Again, we’ll be using PowerShell for the tasks that require performing bulk operations.

Free Video :Hyper-V Server 2012 R2 – How to Rejoin a Domain
Hyper-V Server Cannot be Removed from a Non-Existent Domain:

  • “The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted.”
  • “The machine is already joined to the domain”

[floated align=”left”]Hyper-V Server 2012 R2[/floated] is normally used as a member of a domain. It is not uncommon to get in a situation where you need to unjoin/remove the Hyper-V server from the domain it is a member of. If the domain is available and there is normal connectivity, the whole process should be pretty simple. Surprisingly, if the original domain does not exist anymore, you get yourself into a Catch-22 situation – when you try to join the server to a different domain or a workgroup, you get one of the following error messages:

  • “The machine is already joined to the domain.”
  • “The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted.”

As you will see in the following video, the solution to this issue is pretty straightforward – you need to unjoin the server from command line using the FORCE parameter. One small detail, which is often forgotten, is to check whether you have access to the local admin account, and more importantly, whether this account is enabled. Again, this should be performed from command line.

How to Remove a Hyper-V Server 2012 R2 from an Orphaned/Non-Existent Domain
===========================================================================
#Check the list of local user accounts:
NET USER

#Reset the local admin password:
NET USER administrator “THE_NEW_PASSWORD”

#Get the details for a specific account
NET USER administrator

#Enable a disabled user account:
NET USER administrator /active:yes

#Create a new user account:
NET USER HV-Admin “THE_PASS” /add

#Remove a Hyper-V Server 2012 R2 from an orphaned domain
NETDOM REMOVE /d:nonexistentdomain.com HyperV-ServerName /FORCE

Office 365

Screencast: How to Connect to Office 365 Using Remote PowerShell. Bulk Creating and Managing Users.

by admin

Being constantly improved and updated with new features, the Office 365 Admin Center is quite often the preferred management interface. Sooner or later, you stumble upon tasks that require performing bulk operations – like creating users, licensing them based on CSV file, or simply populating/editing the users’ data.

While some of these bulk operations can be performed in the graphical interface (depending on the Office 365 Plan), connecting to Office 365 and using remote PowerShell will get the job done faster and, surprisingly, easier.

If you are doing this for the first time, finding and installing the right packages for your system (especially if you are running Windows 7) is the first task. Some of the packages are updated and replaced with a new version which comes, of course, with a new name – ex. “Microsoft Azure Active Directory Module for Windows PowerShell”, while most of the instructions that you will find are referring to “Microsoft Online Services Module for Windows PowerShell”.

For your convenience, we’ve demonstrated how to automate the whole process by editing your PowerShell profile and placing the required commands in it. In our demo, we are trying to keep things as simple as possible. You will not find one-liners, and you can easily edit the scripts (which can be downloaded from our site) and modify them according to your needs.

[raw]In this Screencast How to Connect to Office 365 Using Remote PowerShell, and how to bulk create, license, and Modify Users., we demonstrate how to connect to Office 365 using remote PowerShell, and how to bulk create, license, and modify users.[/raw]

How to Install a GoDaddy Multiple Domain Certificate in Exchange 2013

by admin

By default, Exchange setup generates and assigns to Exchange services a self-signed multiple domain certificate, which has five years validity and contains just the internal Exchange short (NetBIOS) and AD Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN). As you can expect, this certificate is not trusted by the local and remote clients. In addition, it doesn’t include the Exchange server public and autodicover names which makes it unusable for remote Outlook Anywhere clients. The self-signed certificate is a temporary solution and needs to be replaced as soon as possible.

In this Screencast How to Install a GoDaddy Multiple Domain Certificate in Exchange 2013, we demonstrate how to configure the Exchange 2013 URL and how to install a GoDaddy UCC.

Screencast: How to Configure Storage Tiers – Server 2012 R2

by admin

In the following Screencast How to Configure Storage Tiers and Write-Back Cache in Server 2012 R2, we demonstrate how to configure Storage Tiers in Server 2012 R2 using SSD and Hard Drives within the same storage pool.

The whole process of configuring Storage Tiers with Server 2012 R2 is extremely simplified when using the graphical interface – Server Manager, and that’s what you will see in most demos. We do start with such an example in our Screencast, and then we take a closer look at some of the important Virtual Disk parameters (Number of Columns, Interleave, Write-Back Cache) that are configured automatically in the background by the wizard and affect most seriously the Storage Space performance. As you will find out, once the Virtual Disk is created, you cannot modify these parameters. The only way to change them is to delete and re-create the Virtual Disk. That brings the need to plan carefully, in advance your Storage Configuration.

We discuss in detail the meaning of these parameters and how to optimize them according to your needs in Step 2. Extending an existing tiered Storage Space is one of the typical examples when you need to be aware of these parameters before you proceed with adding the physical disks to the Storage Pool, and we demonstrate some of the most common mistakes.

While the Graphical Interface is perfect for demonstration purposes, most probably you will have to use PowerShell when implementing Tiered Storage in a production environment. Optimizing the interleave for applications like Microsoft SQL Server or Exchange Server, configuring the Number of Columns, and setting the Write-Back Cache is possible only in PowerShell. Step 3 is packed with tips and PowerShell action, and for you convenience we provide the text file with all commands that are used in the demo.
