Hi everyone!

I'm trying to upgrade Exchange 2007 SP1 to Exchange SP3 on a SBS 2008 and I'm stuck on setup /ps (tried more than once, everytime the same error at the same place)

(Vaguely) translated error message: "Error at executing ldifde.exe while importing <path>\PostExchange2003_schema91.ldf Error code 31: More details in ldif.err".

Content of ldif.err:

Syntax error in input file

Error in line 224 The last token begins with " "

Error in program

When viewed with a hex-editor, the thing between the quotes is ASCII character 01!

line 224 in PostExchange2003_schema91.ldf  looks like

adminDisplayName: ms-Exch-Mobile-Remote-Documents-Internal-Domain-Suffix-List-BL

no ASCII code 01 there at all, no 01 in the entire file!

I've been searching the net for 3 hours now. Only refernce to "error 31" is with Exchange 2010.

Has anyone any ideas?

Hi Jim!

Thanks for the advice! And you are right: I've found an old server in adsiedit. But I have no option to remove it?

Hi Werner,

Thank you for your question.

By this error, we could check if there is SBS 2003 or Exchange 2003 in organization. We could check if by ADSsiedit.msc then move SBS 2003 and Exchange 2003 check if issue persist.

Notice: we should back AD database before we modify it. We suggest you call MS engineer to help if you want to run adsiedit.msc.

If there are any questions regarding this issue, please be free to let me know.

Best Regard,

Jim

Hi Werner,

If you have found it, we could right click the old server name then choose delete. If you could find delete item, you could contact server administrator to solve it.
