Event ID 2937

Process edgetransport.exe () (PID=6156). Object [CN={mailbox database name},CN=Databases,CN=Exchange Administrative Group (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT),CN=Administrative Groups,CN={domain},CN=Microsoft Exchange,CN=Services,CN=Configuration,DC={domain},DC=com]. Property [PublicFolderDatabase] is set to value [{domain}.org/Configuration/Deleted Objects/Public Folder Store (EXCH2K3) DEL:b60ef8b9-09dd-41c5-9aec-af2a4cc4f33e], it is pointing to the Deleted Objects container in Active Directory. This property should be fixed as soon as possible.

In my case I had a mailbox database that was looking at a public folder database, that no longer existed. (It was on the old/removed Exchange 2003 server).

Solution

Disclaimer: OK this error comes in a lot of forms, and references lots of different processes other than edgetransport.exe. I tried all the stuff I found online to try and fix the problem. But non of them worked, (this error gets logged when the Exchange services start).

In the end I fixed it myself, and it was annoyingly easy.

1. Look in your error message to see the “Mail Database” that’s complaining, (In this example it’s called “Mailbox Database 1507786053”).

2. Launch Exchange system Manager > Organization Configuration > Mailbox > Database Management > Select the offending database > Right click > Properties > Client Settings.

3. Under “Default Public Folder Database” > Browse > Locate and select a live public folder database.

4. Then restart Exchange services (Or reboot).

Window Server Where is Sysprep

KB ID 0000419 

Problem

You have a 2008 R2 Server to sysprep, but your not sure where sysprep is.

Solution

1. Thankfully in Server 2008 R2, there’s no messing about, its in c:windowssystem32sysprep. (Note: to regenerate a SID don’t forget to tick “Generalize”).

Server 2008 – It’s in the same place.

Server 2003 – As with Windows XP, you need to get it from the Windows install CD, its in the supporttoolsdeploy.cab.

Once the files are extracted you can run sysprep (Note: setupmgr.exe is used to create the unattended / answer files for sysprep.)

Windows Server – Migrating DHCP Scopes

KB ID 0000447

Problem

Normally you can just create a new scope on your new DHCP server, but if you have a lot of reservations that you don’t want to have to recreate (for printers network devices etc), then it’s a better option to migrate/copy the scope to the new server.

Solution

1. Copy all the DHCP settings to a text file with the following command;

[box]

netsh dhcp server export C:\dhcp.txt all

[/box]

2. Stop and disable the DHCP Server service on the OLD DHCP server.

3. Move the text file to the NEW server, and import the settings with the following command;

[box]

netsh dhcp server import c:\dhcp.txt all

[/box]  

If it says the command is unsupported see the link below!
