Hello All,<br />
<br />
I resolved the first part of the OWA issue by making some changes in the Firewall. Now I am able to access OWA externally but again it redirects me immediately to the the legacy.domain.com/owa. So there is no way to login to OWA with a user created in Exchange 2013
</div>


<div>
Also when I try the Microsoft Remote Analyzer for RPC while using the account of a user that exists in the Exchange 2013 everything is working fine. When I try the same test with a user account from the exchange 2007 It fails and I get the below <br />
<br />
Attempting to ping RPC proxy owa.domain.co.uk.<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;RPC Proxy can't be pinged.<br />

&quot;Exchange 2013 is sitting on a 2012 R2 server&quot;<br />
<br />
Is that Exchange 2013 SP1? If not, then you are in an unsupported scenario. Exchange 2013 prior to SP1 was not supported on Windows 2012 R2. Windows 2012 and 2012 R2 are not the same thing.<br />

<div>
Hello Simon,<br />
<br />
Yes it is Exchange 2013 SP1
</div>


<div>
Exchange 2013 will proxy ActiveSync and Outlook Anywhere, but redirect OWA.<br />
You need to ensure that ActiveSync has no external URL configured. <br />
<br />
For Outlook Anywhere, it should just work, as long as the servers can see each other and the settings are close to default. <br />
<br />

Worked together with Microsoft Support and they resolved the issue with the above.

Hello All and thank in advance,<br />
<br />
I am migrating Exchange 2007 to 2013 and last night I configured the coexistence mode.<br />
<br />
Exchnage 2013 is sitting on a 2012 R2 server and Exchange 2007 on a 2003 R2.<br />
<br />
OWA was working fine in the begin but now externally it will redirect immediately to the legacy URL and nothing will load. Haven't change anything at all and I have checked my virtual directories to make sure that everything is correct same with the SSL.<br />
<br />
Internally is working, but if I use an account that is on the 2007 exchange I will be able to &nbsp;login but if I logout and try the owa url again it will redirect me to the legacy immediately (even if I do ctrl + F5 to clear the cache).<br />
<br />
Second configuring phone email is working fine for the test user on the exchange 2013 but when I try to configure on my iphone a user that is on the 2007 exchange it fails.<br />
<br />
Both Exchange servers are on the latest update.<br />
<br />
Appreciate your time and help.

Exchange is the server side of a collaborative application product that is part of the Microsoft Server infrastructure. Exchange's major features include email, calendaring, contacts and tasks, support for mobile and web-based access to information, and support for data storage.

Exchange

The Microsoft Server topic includes all of the legacy versions of the operating system, including the Windows NT 3.1, NT 3.5, NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 and Windows Home Server versions.

Microsoft Server OS

Within Internet message handling services (MHS), a message transfer agent or mail transfer agent (MTA) or mail relay is software that transfers electronic mail messages from one computer to another using a client–server application architecture. A MTA implements both the client (sending) and server (receiving) portions of the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). The terms mail server, mail exchanger, and MX host may also refer to a computer performing the MTA function. The Domain Name System (DNS) associates a mail server to a domain with mail exchanger (MX) resource records containing the domain name of a host providing MTA services.
