I am upgrading from Exchange2007 to Exchange 2013

Exchange 2007 is on Server2003, Rollup 15 SP3

 The name of the Exchange2007 server is hermes2, the name of the new Exchange2013 server is hermes3.
 The name of our AD is "forsyth"

After I finished the install on of Exchange2013 on a Server 2012R2 When I opened the Exchange Management Shell: I received the following error (this is part of the output from the shell window let me know if you need all of it),  it looks like it tried 3 times .

Any ideas?  Thank you!

Make sure all the Exchange Services are running fine. If it's not than restart it manually and check the issue.

Also, when upgrading from Exchange 2007 to 2013, I would be referring you on this informative technet article that covers all the required aspects and helps to achieve the goal without any problem :http://blogs.technet.com/b/meamcs/archive/2013/07/25/part-1-step-by-step-exchange-2007-to-2013-migration.aspx

Moreover, if the issue still persist, you may also consider on this automated solution (http://www.exchangemailboxmigration.com/) that provides a very hassle-free environment to get this job done in more secure way.

Here is what I see in the Event Log I see numerous events that have the following in common:

Microsoft.Exchange.Diagnostics.SetupVersionInformationCorruptException: Unable to determine the installed file version from the registry key 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PowerShell\1\PowerShellEngine'.

When I look at the registry "PowerShellEngine'" does not exist under PowerShell\1\ but I do see it under PowerShell\3\

Do you have any other server? If yes, than make sure you have same entry as its on the working server.
Is this what you see?

Hi,

Moving these keys from other servers or creating all the 6 strings manually should solve this issue.

1. Created the Key "PowerShellEngine" under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PowerShell\1.
2. Created all 6 Strings under "PowerShellEngine"

• ApplicationBase    (C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0)
• ConsoleHostAssemblyName    (Microsoft.PowerShell.ConsoleHost, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral,PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35, ProcessorArchitecture=msil)
• ConsoleHostModuleName    (C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.\Microsoft.PowerShell.ConsoleHost.dll)
• PowerShellVersion    (2.0)
• PSCompatibleVersion    (1.0, 2.0)
• RuntimeVersion    (v2.0.50727)

Best Regards.
