2010 Exchange Server with Coexistant 2003 Exchange Server

I just installed Exchange 2010 onto my domain and moved over from my 2003 exchange server 2 mailboxes that are not being used by the company so are really just test mailboxes. I can send email   through the internet and internally to exchange 2003 users. But I cannot send email from exchange 2003 server or from the internet to the 2010 exchange mailbox  user. I can however send internal mail back and forth with the exchange 2010 users but only to each other. I have tried everything from recieve connectors to reinstalling rollup 4v2. really am stuck here and could use some help. The 2010 exchange server is running on 2008 r2 and the 2003 exchange is running on windows 2003 server.

which one is pointing to the internet right now.  Have you tried creating a routing group connectors between the two and adding each opposite server as a smarthost?  Are you public folders replicating?  



yea exchange should have prompted you to create a routing group connector to talk to exchange 2010 from 2003.  exchange 2010 is considerated a global routing group.

How do I go about creating a routing group?
Ok I think I got it restarted the smtp server on the 2003 exchange server and then noticed the routing group connector appeared. emails are now going to the 2010 exchange users. I will test and verify if all is good thanks,

By default when you install Exchange 2010 in existing 2003 Organization, it will prompt which server will be responsible for Routing in between. It Will automatically Create routing group connector.

Get-RoutingGroupConnector

It will show Connector name . You will found two connector names Like

Exchange Routing Group (DWBGZMFD01QNBJR)\Ex2010 to Ex2003 RGC

Exchange Routing Group (DWBGZMFD01QNBJR)\Ex2003 to Ex2010 RGC


Get-RoutingGroupConnector -Identity <Name of Routing group Connector> | FL


You can see Bridge head Server and Remote Server Name

In One Routing Group will find <Exchange 2003> as bridgehead server and in Remote Server <Exchange 2010 HUB Server>, Which will be responsible from sending mail from Exchange 2003 to Exch 2010.


In Another Routing Group will find <Exchange 2010 HUB Server> as bridgehead server and in Remote Server <Exchange 2003> , Which will be responsible from sending mail from Exchange 2003 to Exch 2010.


Please verify in Both connector Server name is correct otherwise you have to change the Server Name.

 
OK looks to be working but now when i try to login through outlook anywhere it just brings up a blank screen. Any ideas on that?

Are You testing Exchange 2010 Mail Boxes Outlook Anywhere with Exchange 2010 OWA.
yes i am testing 2010 mailboxes with the 2010 owa the 2003 server works labeled mail.domain.com and 2010 which is not working is swmail.domain.com
ran through each step no problem. On an internal client https://swmail.domain.com/owa it just pulls up a blank screen with Microsoft Outlook Web App in the tab. On the actual server in IIS if I click on owa then click browse  :443 (https) it at least asks for a password but after credential are entered I get a blank screen with the blue horizontal line
Does each user need to be added to a specific group to access outlook anywhere?
No they should be able to access it by default.  try running iisreset /noforce. on the Exchange 2010 server and make sure system attendant and information store are running.
ran iisreset /noforce verified that the store and attendant were running.

Still same thing
Checked event viewer and found these two errors dont know if any of these are the cause.

error 1
Removal of privileges from process "c:\windows\system32\inetsrv\w3wp.exe" (PID=3724, LABEL=MSExchangeOWAAppPool) failed with error code 0x80070005.

error 2
Microsoft Exchange could not find a certificate that contains the domain name mail-server in the personal store on the local computer. Therefore, it is unable to support the STARTTLS SMTP verb for the connector Default MAIL-SERVER with a FQDN parameter of mail-server. If the connector's FQDN is not specified, the computer's FQDN is used. Verify the connector configuration and the installed certificates to make sure that there is a certificate with a domain name for that FQDN. If this certificate exists, run Enable-ExchangeCertificate -Services SMTP to make sure that the Microsoft Exchange Transport service has access to the certificate key.
that first error I've seen caused by AV.  Try disabling it.  I fthat doesn't work try this

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/313222/EN-US/

do you have a UCC/SAN cert installed on your Exchange server yet?
I have a UC cert installed already and the error message displays the name that I have included in my cert it has swmail.mydomain.com, mail-server.mydomain.local, and autodiscover.mydomain.local.
Try re-
installign the cert.
Re-installed the cert several time with no luck. Do you think this has anything with the Outlook anywhere not working? Im not getting an error messages when logging in. I actually get a green indicator up top with this certificate is valid.
OK so I disabled Outlook anywhere and reenabled it. I was able to get a remote client connected to outlook but I still get a blank screen when trying to access the Outlook Web App
