no just turned off to make sure everything is fine before removing the old server
Main Topics
Browse All TopicsHi,
I am currently moving my Exchange 2007 server to Exchange 2010. I installed Exchange 2010 normally on a new server. I moved my mailboxes and public folders normally as well. I turned off my Exchange 2007 server to see if evrything is ok before removing the Ex2k7 server for good. When I go in the Exchange management console to check on CAS, the OWA, offline addressbook and activesync, i receive an error message that RPC failure and cannot connect to the old server. When I turn on the Ex2k7 server all works fine. I ran the command get-owavirtualdirectory and I saw that all the virtual directories still point to the Ex2k7 server. only the offline addressbook points to both the ex2k7 and 2k10. Can someone help in this issue? Urgent help needed.
thanks
Dany

Sorry, I can not find some E2007 to E2010 migration guide, but the steps should be quite similar in migration E2003->E2007. At the end you must uninstall E2007 - normally connected to network, so the AD and E2010 are aware that E2007 is decomissioned.
Steps migration to E2007:
http://www.msexchange.org/
Virtual directories are created while installing client access role. I think that virtual directories will be updated to correct values after uninstalling E2007. In all migrations I have done, I never changed any virtual directories setting manually.
(I have done some migrations E2000->E2003->E2007. But I have not seen E2010 - yet.)
Double check if everything was migrated correctly and then uninstall E2007.
Do you have some migration guide for E2010. Maybe it wont be bad to find one - I always use official Ms guides.
You can leave both servers on without any impact on users. (I hope everything is working fine with both servers on). In this way you can buy some time to find migration instructions for E2010.
Deinstallation of E2007 you can do at anytime.
Link for reseting virtual dirs in E2007:

i still did not create any certificate. but i can open from the ex2010 server OWA for a migrated user. but my problem is when i turn off the ex2k7 server, in the EMC when i go to the CAS role or from the management shell an error is given (RPC cannot connect to ex2k7 server). as i mentioned before if both server are on, the get-owavirtualdirectory lists all virtual directories pointing to the ex2k7.
my problems were fixed now. I followed the below link:

and to complete the process, I uninstalled the Ex2k7 server.
thank everyone for the help.

Have you properly removed/decommisioned the old server?
It is not just turn off.
