If you receive an error code like the one above when trying to perform a Move All Replicas on an Exchange 2003 Public Folder hierarchy then you may have decommissioned your old environment out of sequence.

Active Directory operation failed on YOURDC.YOURDOMAIN.LOCAL. This error is not retriable. Additional information: Insufficient access rights to perform the operation.

If you are trying to move a mailbox from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2010 and you receive an error like the one above then you may need to change some permissions on the user you are trying to move. The process is very quick and easy.

451 5.7.3 Cannot achieve Exchange Server authentication

I ran into this error recently while trying to migrate from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2010. I had my Exchange 2003 and Exchange 2010 mailbox servers in coexistence and had successfully migrated a pilot group of users to the new server. Mail flow was still be directed through the Exchange 2003 server, although I did have a Send Connector on the 2010 server.

Users on both the 2003 and 2010 servers could send and receive mail externally. Users on the 2003 server could send messages to users on the 2010 server. However, users on the 2010 server could not send message back to the 2003 server. The queues would just fill up and 2010 users would receive a delivered delayed message. The error in the message queue was the one mentioned above.

The fix was two-part for me.

Before you run to restore that deleted Public Folder from tape don’t forget ExFolders.

I recently had a situation where someone had inadvertently deleted a Public Folder. I had previously downloaded ExFolders for another problem and remembered I had this on the server. I quickly connected to the Public Folders, showed all deleted folders, and recovered in a snap. The user had the folder immediately.

I had to use it recently when our existing BES server was getting squished on resources and I needed to move the Blackberry Enterprise Server role onto a new box.

So, if you don’t want to force all your users through the pain of reactivating their phones, or, the hassle of recreating all your IT policies, then you definitely want to use the Transporter. It’s a great tool and can be downloaded as part of the Blackberry Resource Kit.
