I am having huge problems with upgrade of organization from exchange 2003 to 2007. I have spend over few weeks working on it, everytime having hope that I will be able to figure out the issues myself with information provided on-line. My setup is one virtual machine running three roles: hub, mailbox and client access. I have managed to move most of the users mailboxes to the new exchange 2007 without issues. I have popcon tool that pulls e-mails from external pop3 server and that works just fine. My exchange server is it-exchange-001.allgraphicsupplies.local. THe issue I am having is that the offline address book does not download and every time users do send/receive, error appears that the object can't be downloaded. Second issue is that it seems like autodiscovery service is not running like it's supposed to since testing email configuration states that it was unable to obtain info from autodiscover service. Last issue right now has to do with out of office assistant which states that the server is unavailable at the moment. It seems like I have some issues with my virtual directories in IIS 7, since I can't browse the OWA or public ones and I can't access OWA from client computers either.I was trying to rectify the situation myself but I got to the point that I feel I am just wasting my time going in circles. If anyone could provide help I would be very grateful, or at least point me into direction of troubleshooting that I should be going. Mind you that I am no expert in Exchange but I do have experience working with Microsoft products for number of years, so it's very possible that I am mississing some simple crucial steps as I don't hear about that many problems doing upgrades from other people on the net.Any help would be greatly appreciated. THanks.

Sorry, sorry, I meant Test-WebServicesConnectivity | Format-List

Unfortnetely I have problems running this command, I am getting an error whereas "Test user 'CAS_0b73c17508b14c48' cannot be accessed. Therefore, this cmdlet will be unable to test Mailbox server. WARNING: No client access servers were tested.I am logged on as domain admin and I am using run as function.Thanks

did run best practice analyzer ?is there any error ?MCSE,CCNA,VCP,APP

Try this:Test-WebServicesConnectivity -MailboxCredential (Get-Credential) | Format-List

Hi, Virtual machine...Hyper-V? 64-Bit?For OWA, please try to use https://127.0.0.1/OWA from Exchange Server to see if you can login. If not, then please try to post the detail error information here.For Autodiscover servives, please try to browse https://it-exchange-001.allgraphicsupplies.local/autodiscover/autodiscover.xmland post the error information here.Please checkif you have disabled " public folder referrals" on Exch2k3 to Exch2k7 connector, the Outlook2007 clients couldn't get public folders.Also Id like to know what is the scenario now? Exchange 2003 with Exchange 2007?Or just have Exchange 2007? Besides, you can follow the steps below to re-create AutoDiscoverVirtualDirectory Run the command to recreate the Autodiscover virtual directory 1. Remove-AutoDiscoverVirtualDirectory -Identity "<CAS_servername>\Autodiscover (Default Web Site)" 2. New-AutodiscoverVirtualDirectory3. Later set the AutodiscoverServiceInternalURI to internal FQDN name of the CAS server as follows:Set-ClientAccessServer -Identity "<CAS_servername>\Autodiscover (Default Web Site)" -AutodiscoverServiceInternalURI "<<https://<Internal-FQDN_name_of_CAS>>/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml >"4. Also make sure that ASP.NET v2.0 is set to Allowed under Web Services Extensions Regards, Xiu

Thanks for your help so far guys. Xiu, I have tried to login to OWA from the exchange server, I am getting 404 - File or directory not found.You are right, I am running Hyper V on 64-bit.I have tried to re-create autodiscover service as you recommended but I still cannot access it.I am getting this error message: unable to determine IP address from host name for it-exchange-001.allgraphicsupplies.local:443I have the host registered in DNS but we don't have reverse lookup zone created, could that cause it?When I am trying to access the site via https://192.168.1.35/autodiscover/autodiscover.xmlI am seeing this error message:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> - <Autodiscover xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/autodiscover/responseschema/2006"> - <Response> - <Error Time="12:21:49.1888776" Id="1220814743"> <ErrorCode>600</ErrorCode> <Message>Invalid Request</Message> <DebugData /> </Error> </Response> Also I got a certificate error.My scenario is one exchange server 2003 and one exchange 2007, but I want to remove 2003 as soon as everything is working fine.I tried to lookup some info ondisabling public folder refferal and as far as it seems to me everything is fine, but if you could let me know exactly where to check this, I will do it. ASP.NET v2.0 is enabled.Weird enough the error for offline address book is gone from outlook but out of office assistant still comes up with the error.THanks very much for your efforts.

Hey guysI have run the best practise analyzer and those are the errors that I have got: -The Exchange schema extensions are from an unknown version. Schema version detected is 11116. -Active Directory domain 'ALLGRAPHIC' has an unrecognized Exchange signature. Current DomainPrep version: 11221. -The Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) service on server it-exchange-001.allgraphicsupplies.local is not configured to start-up as the computer account (LocalSystem). This configuration is not supported on Exchange servers. Current start-up account is localSystem. I run this analyzer on the xp workstation.Thanks for your inputI also run Test-OutlookWebServices | Format-List logged into the shell as a domain user and got two errors:Id : 1013Type : ErrorMessage : When contacting https://it-exchange-001.allgraphicsupplies.local/ews/ exchange.asmx received the error The request failed with HTTP status 503: Service Unavailable.

Hi,For error 404, please try to follow the steps below to check the information for OWA related. 1. Please ensure that asp.net and active server pages are "allowed" in web extension.2.Please check ifCAS serversis the member of "Exchange Domain servers" group which is located under the users container in Active Directory Users and computers.3.
