Error On Migrating A Mailbox To Exchange 2010
After installing Microsoft Exchange 2010 I wanted to move my mailbox from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2010. Using the wizard in Exchange Console I got this error
Error:
Active Directory operation failed on *DomainController*. This error is not retriable. Additional information: Insufficient access rights to perform the operation.
Active directory response: 00002098: SecErr: DSID-03150E8A, problem 4003 (INSUFF_ACCESS_RIGHTS), data 0The user has insufficient access rights.
Exchange Management Shell command attempted:
’*OUStructure*’ | New-MoveRequest -TargetDatabase ‘Mailbox Database nnnnnnnnnn′ -BadItemLimit ‘0′
- I found that this error can be fixed by editing the Advanced Security Settings for the user on the AD.
- Open “Active Directory Users and Computers”
- Click “View > Advanced Features”
- Select the users mailbox properties
- Navigate to “Security Tab > Adanced”
- Select the checkbox “Include inheritable permissions from this object’s parent”
- Apply changes
Afterwards the move should go swimmingly, however you may need to remove your move request a try again.

Linux Hosted
Over the weekend with some holiday time I’ve been back to my home town for a little break from city life. I went back Thursday night and came back to Birmingham very late monday night/early Tuesday. I was late as I had randomly ended up in Leicester with one of my good friends and we had gone to see Alice in Wonderland, which was pretty good.
It had been quite an eventful but great weekend, saw the family and friends, witnessed a car crash in which the offending party hopped up and drove off and moved my website to my linux host. I’m trying to make room for another server so I’m consolidating various services so I can free up an IP address but a new virtual machine running exchange2010.
The move didn’t go as smoothly as I had planned, the application I used to create a dump of the DB has filled it with random text doubling the file size and caused lots of issues when I went to load it up. I instead reverted back to using MySQLDump on the Windows command line console.
Didn’t have many issues with the new setup, Apache 2.0 didn’t like the previous .htaccess and reported an “Internal Error Page” was quite annoying as I didn’t know what was going on until I checked the logs. After loading up the proper .htaccess file I just needed to enable mod_rewrite using the following command.
a2enmode rewrite
I’m pretty happy everything is working now, one thing that did annoy me running WordPress in ISS 6.0 is that the WordPress iPhone apps did not work but now that do as I’m back on linux so look out for a few more picture uploads.
Just one more site to move and I should be able to setup Exchange2010.

Exchange 2007
I’ve pretty much finished setting up Exchange on my newish server over at UKS. I say pretty much but I started this post in December last year so its been going for some time now! I’m pleased with it. I found it quite usful installing it as it helped me fix some issues with the Exchange server I manage at work! I’ve been using the webui to access my email which I have quickly got annoyed with. As most do, I prefer firefox and as some may know you don’t get the fully featured OWA anything other than Internet Explorer, one main thing you can’t do is create message rules (Unless I am totally blind). Good news though as Exchange 2010 which is currently at RC stage fully supports all features in Firefox and other browsers.
Just with my current setup I can not upgrade / install Exchange 2010 as I have run out of IP addresses / have no compatiable servers… yet… so I will have to stick with 2007 for a while.
On other note I’m appreciating how awesome WordPress is, its so easy to upgrade/add plugins unlike PHPBB which I have been working with lately, it reminds me why I did not follow a career in Wed Development / Design.
Although, when is anything easy?

How To: Share Mailbox on Exchange 2003
This is just a quick post on process of sharing a mailbox within exchange. Its mainly for me just in case I forget later but if it helps just one person it will be worth the posting.
This is done on Small Business Server 2003 with Microsoft Exchange 2003, although it may be applied to Exchange 2007 but I’m not sure I haven’t yet touched it.
You may want to share a mailbox for a number of reasons but the main reason for me is to allow multiple people to use a mailbox for a certain role. For example you may have an e-mail address along the lines of support@example.com. You may have multiple people replying to support e-mails. By sharing a mailbox users can mark e-mails read, flag or even delete e-mails.
Here is how its done!
Stage 1: Allow users access
1: Create a user account for the e-mail address. I am going to use the example support.
2: Set up the accounts e-mail (pop3 mailbox etc)
3: Log on to the account (Support)
4: Open Outlook, Click; Tools > Options > Delegates > Add
5: Add/Find users you would like to grant permissions to
6: Add the user by clicking “Add–>>;” Tip: you may add multiple users
7: Click OK
8: Clicking the Inbox drop-down menu; select editor (See Fig1)
9: Click OK x2, and return to Outlook
Stage 2: Apply permissions to the inbox.
10: Right Click “Mailbox – “useraccount displayname”" and select Properties
11: Add the users from before
12: Grant each user “Publishing Editor” permissions
13: Click OK
14: Log off
Stage 3: Add the mailbox
15: Log on to the user account you granted access to (Eg user1)
16: Open Outlook
17: Click Tools > E-mail Accounts
18: Click Next > Change
19: Click More Settings > Advanced
20: Click Add
21: Enter the name of the mailbox (Eg Support)
22: Click Ok
23: A message box will appear, Click Ok
24: Click Next > Finish
25: Upon returning to the main Outlook screen the mailbox should appear down the left hand side
26: If it doesn’t restart Outlook
27: Repeat stage 3 for each user
Hope this helps?
