Mailbox Move Not Complete - Unable to make admin interface connection to server.
Hello, I have added a second exchange 2007 server and have moved over 20 mailboxes to the new server. I seem to have a problem that the mailbox move has not been completed properly. I'm getting errors in the event log that the search indexer cannot connect to the admin interface. I'm also unable to login as any one of the users who I've moved to the new server. Here's one of the errors I'm getting: Exchange Search Indexer has temporarily disabled indexing of the Mailbox Database Third Storage Group\Mailbox Database 03 (GUID = d4f3ee4d-68b0-4d21-8a76-ee96bf298f34) due to an error (Microsoft.Mapi.MapiExceptionNetworkError: MapiExceptionNetworkError: Unable to make admin interface connection to server.

Hi jason, Verify whether your mailbox datbase is mounted. If it is mounted then Rebuild the Full-Text Index Catalog for single mailbox and try the movement. To Rebuild the Full-Text Index Catalog kindly go through the below links http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa995966(EXCHG.80).aspx Rgds, S kannan

That doesn't seem to do anything. The mailboxes are already on the new server but when I go to the OWA address of the new exchange server I cannot login to the mailbox. If I go to the old servers OWA address I can login. It's almost like the mailbox is now on both servers but you can only login to the old server. Does that make sense?

I have fixed this problem by re-running the following commands from the 2007 Install Guide ServerManagerCmd -i Web-Server ServerManagerCmd -i Web-ISAPI-Ext ServerManagerCmd -i Web-Metabase ServerManagerCmd -i Web-Lgcy-Mgmt-Console ServerManagerCmd -i Web-Basic-Auth ServerManagerCmd -i Web-Digest-Auth ServerManagerCmd -i Web-Windows-Auth ServerManagerCmd -i Web-Dyn-Compression http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb691354(EXCHG.80).aspx

Hello, I have been fighting today with the migration off my old SBS2003 server to a brand new SBS2008 server. I have been preparing this migration for a couple off weeks now (watching videos, reading migration manual from Microsoft, searching TechNet, etc.) After some troubles with installing the server in Migration mode if finally came to the part to move my old (legacy) mailboxes to the new SBS2008 server. At this point the drama started @#$@$#&^%%#$@ I followed the manual off Microsoft which descripted how to move these mailboxes. Exchange displayed a error message : -------------------------------------------------------- MapiExceptionNetworkError: Unable to make admin interface connection to server. (hr=0x80040115, ec=-2147221227) When I googled this error message I realized that many people encountered the same problem but no one had the right answer to this question. I have searched hours and hours to find a solution. It started to drive me crazy and to make it even more worse i discovered that even though i completed the first step in the migration proces (update the schema to allow a SBS2008 DC to join the domain) my replication with the other DC controllers came with a schema mismatch error???? WTF is going on !!!!!!!! Finally a brilliant college off me came with the answer that solved all my problems: To GET RID OFF THIS ERROR MESSAGE INSTALL: Messaging API and Collabration Data Objects 1.2.1 on the Exchange server. After moving about 60 mailboxes my blood pressure dropped and became stable again. I Have on finall question WHY Microsoft? Was this to much trouble to put this in het migration manual off 81 pages? from-a-very-disappointed-microsoft-user PLS: send me a reply if this solved you're problem moving the mailboxes to the new server. !
