Migrating to Exchange 2010 & PDA Sync Issues

Some day’s ago I was testing some PDA’s Windows Mobile and Nokia’s for a Exchange Migration to Exchange 2010.

I created a little procure to test it.

1. PDA sync at first with ISA 2006 against Exchange 2007.

2. Shutdown the ISA 2006 Server

3. Starting the TMG Server

4. Checking if the PDA would sync. (The PDA should be sync with legacy.wardvissers.nl automatically )

5. Move the Mailbox to Exchange 2010 and check again if the PDA sync works.

 

Windows Mobile PDA (6.1).

1. Works fine

2.

3.

4. The PDA will be redirected to legacy.wardvissers.nl and pda sync works great. The User had nothing to do.

5. Moving the Mailbox to Exchange 2010 there is no problem. The user will automatically redirected from legacy.wardvissers.nl to webmail.wardvissers.nl with out any problems.

Nokia E71/E72 (Mail for Exchange Client 3.0.73)

1. Works fine

2.

3.

4. PDA don’t sync anymore. The user must change the sync url manual to legacy.wardvissers.nl than it works again.

5. Moving the Mailbox to Exchange 2010 there is no problem. If you change the url to legacy.wardvissers.nl you must change it manually back.

Nokia E71/E72 With (Road Sync 4.0/5.0)

1. Works fine

2.

3.

4. PDA don’t sync anymore. The user must change the sync url manual to legacy.wardvissers.nl than it works again.

5. Moving the Mailbox to Exchange 2010 there is no problem. If you change the url to legacy.wardvissers.nl you must change it manually back.

Conclusion

Moving PDA users to Exchange 2010 can be a pain in the ass. Best practice is create a list of all PDA users and move them first to Exchange 2010 and than all other users.

Exchange 2010 PST Import

Mailbox Import Role

When you want to import some pst’s you need some rights from doing this. This is a one time setting.

New-ManagementRoleAssignment ?Role ?Mailbox Import Export? ?User Administrator

Name                           Role              RoleAssigneeName  RoleAssigneeType  AssignmentMethod  EffectiveUserName

—-                           —-              —————-  —————-  —————-  —————-

Mailbox Import Export-Admin… Mailbox Import… Administrator     User              Direc

Set Mailbox Language

Set-MailboxRegionalConfiguration -Identity ward -Language nl-nl -DateFormat "dd-mm-yyyy

If you want this for multiple mailboxes you case the following script

$a=get-Mailbox *
$a | Set-MailboxRegionalConfiguration -language nl-nl -DateFormat "dd-mm-yyyy

Import a mailbox

New-MailboxImportRequest -Mailbox ward -FilePath \\win701\c$\ward.pst

Remove  newmailimportRequest

Get-MailboxImportRequest -Status Completed | Remove-MailboxImportRequest

Status

Get-MailboxImportRequest | Get-MailboxImportRequestStatistics | ft TargetAlias,Percent*,BytesTransferred*

Multiple Mailboxes at the same time

Dir \\win701\c$\Exmerge-PSTS\*.pst | %{

    New-MailboxImportRequest ?Name ImportOfPst ?BatchName ImportPstFiles `

        ?Mailbox $_.BaseName ?FilePath $_.FullName

}

Exchange 2010 & Outlook 2010 Automatically Shared Mailboxes

When you set full access permissions with the Exchange 2010 management console on a mailbox,the user which has be giving full access right now there will filed a new property.

The property is MSExchDelegateListLink. You can check it with adsiedit.

When you open now Outlook 2010 you can now see that Wardtest is automatilly Added

And additional mailboxes is empty

When you migrating from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2010 and upgraded the Clients to Outlook 2010
Use dis script to set the MSExchDelegateListLink object automatically. Test I first. It’s your own risk.

$a=get-MailboxPermission * | where {$_.IsInherited –eq $False –and $_.accessrights –eq “FullAccess”}
$a | remove-MailboxPermission –confirm:$false
$a | add-MailboxPermission

Save the scripts to MSExchDelegateListLink.ps1

It works great Open-mouthed smile

The security certificate on the server is invalid. Contact your Exchange Server administrator or ISP to install a valid certificate on the server. Support Code: 80072F0D or 0x80072f0d

I had some Windows Mobile device that did not sync anymore. I changed the Certificates on Exchange 2007 and ISA 2006 Servers.

After some investing. The problem was I was missing the GlobalSign Domain Validation CA certificate

After creating the cer file and installed on my PDA active sync works again.
