Exchange 2007 The exchange server address list service failed to respond. After Upgrading Domain Controllers to 2008 R2

Solution:
Go to Organization Configuration in EMC. Right click it in EMC and select Modify Configuration Domain Controller. Point it to your DC hosting the PDC

image 

After that restart the Microsoft Exchange System Attendant services on the mailbox server.

The Microsoft Exchange System Attendant Service does the following thing:

Forwards directory lookups to a global catalog server for legacy Outlook clients, generates e-mail addresses and offline address books, updates free/busy information for legacy clients, and maintains permissions and group memberships for the server. If this service is disabled, any services that explicitly depend on it will fail to start.

Windows 2003 Schema uitbreiden naar Windows 2003 R2 Schema

Hier onder staan de stappen die je moet volgen om de schema uit te breiden naar Windows 2003 R2.

1. Installeer Windows Support Tools.

2. Open command prompt

3. Commando: repadmin /replsum /bysrc /bydest /sort:delta
    Controleer of dat de fails op 0 staan.

4. Log in op de domain controller welke de schema beheerder is.

5. Open command prompt en voer het volgende commando in Netdom query FSMO
    Hiermee kun je zien op welke domain controller welke rol heeft toegekend gekregen.

    Opmerking: Niet alle rollen 1 domain controller. Verdelen is beter

6. Met volgende commando kun je kijken of replicatie goed uitgevoerd  
    is: repadmin /showrepl 

7. Haal van R2 cd de map ADPREP vanaf. Deze vindt je onder cmpnentsR2ADPREP. kopieer   
    deze naar C: schijf

   LET OP is de schema master Windows 2003 x64 geïnstalleerd gebruik dat de r2 x64 om de
   schema uit te breiden.

8. Open nu command prompt op de schema master en voer het volgende command uit.
    adprep /forestprep Indien je meerdere domeinen hebt moet je mogelijk het volgende
    commando mogelijk nog uit adprep /forestprep

   Als je adprep /forestprep op forest met maar een domain dan is het domain ook gelijk
   bijgewerkt.

SP2 voor Exchange 2007 wordt vrijgegeven in het derde kwartaal dit jaar

SP2 voor Exchange 2007 komt in het derde kwartaal dit jaar.
SP2 voor Exchange 2007 heb je nodig wil je upgraden naar Exchange 2010
Mocht je de SP2 niet willen installeren er komen nog een jaar lang updates uit voor Exchange 2007 SP1 na de release van SP2.

Hieronder de lijst met belangrijkste nieuwe functies in SP2:

  • Enhanced Auditing – New Exchange auditing events and audit log repository enable Exchange administrators to more easily audit the activities occurring on their Exchange servers. It allows the right balance of granularity, performance, and easy access to audited events via a dedicated audit log repository. This simplifies the auditing process and makes review of audited events easier by segregating audited events in a dedicated location.
  • Exchange Volume Snapshot Backup Functionality – A new backup plug-in has been added to the product that will enable customers to create Exchange backups when a backup is invoked through the Windows Server 2008 Backup tool. Exchange Server 2007 didn’t have this capability on Windows Server 2008 and additional solutions were required to perform this task.
  • Dynamic Active Directory Schema Update and Validation – The dynamic AD schema update and validation feature allows for future schema updates to be dynamic deployed as well as proactively preventing conflicts whenever a new property is added to the AD schema. Once this capability is deployed it will enable easier management of future schema updates and will prevent support issues when adding properties that don’t exist in the AD schema.
  • Public Folder Quota Management – SP2 enables a consistent way to manage quotas by improving the current PowerShell cmdlets to perform quota management tasks.
  • Centralized Organizational Settings – SP2 introduces new PowerShell option that enable centralized management of many of the Exchange organization settings.
  • Named Properties cmdlets – SP2 enables Exchange administrators to monitor their named property usage per database.
  • New User Interface for Managing Diagnostic Logging– SP2 enables Exchange administrators to easily configure and manage diagnostic logging from within the Exchange Management Console.
