See blog post from Exchange Team here.įirst, i need to identify OAB generation server in a DAG environment. In Exchange 2013, Offline address book is now generated by a system mailbox.
All you had to do is run Move-OfflineAddressBook cmdlet, and wait for AD to replicate. In Exchange 2010, moving OAB generation server was quite easy. The link takes me to a technet page that has yet to complete. Removal of Exchange Server isn’t permitted.įor more information, visit: (EXCHG.150)/ms. “ “ Error: This Mailbox server is responsible for generating an Offline Address Book. MBX1 was throwing a fit during pre-requisite check with following error message. I then evicted them out of existing DAG, so Exchange 2013 binaries can be uninstalled properly. I removed database copies off old mailbox servers MBX1 and MBX2, and made sure they are not owning any databases. I successfully installed two multirole servers name MBX3 and MBX4, and added them into existing DAG. I plan to built two multirole servers on the new drive and decommission old servers gracefully. My existing environment consists of one Exchange 2013 CAS and two Exchange 2013 Mailbox servers in a DAG. It’s faster than old drives, and is perfect for my Exchange server 2013 virtual machines. I recently purchased a new hard drive for server at home.
