Inter-org Replication Tool from Exchange 2K3 on windows 2K3 server to exchange 2K7 on windows server 2K8

Hello all, I have a problem and I need some help. I have an old Forest with WIndows 2003 and Exchange 2003 and a new Forest with Windows 2008 with Exchange 2007 sp1. The new forest has CCR on with 2 Exchange 2007 sp1 servers. In the CCR, I have configured a Public Folder store on a new Storage space. I'm able to ping from Exchange 2003 the NET BIOS name of the Exchange 2007 CCR mailbox name and I have created a trust between the 2 Forests. I've also entered a secondary zone on each servers DNS, with the zone information of the other domain The objective is to replicate the Public Folders from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2007. I have installed the Inter-org Replication tool on the Exchange 2003 server and I have created a service account with a mailbox and a new Public Folder ExchsyncSecurityFolder in each domain and I have assigned Folder Visible permissions to the new service account. On every public folder in the Exchange 2003 domain I have given this new service account owner permissions. When I start the exscfg.exe file, I fill-in the Publisher and Subscriber Organization fields with the proper information and on the Advanced Buttons, I enter the logon information of the service account for each domain. When I click n the Folder List button, I'm able to connect to the Exchange 2003 server, but not on the Exchange 2007 server. I get an error message "Unable to logon to Exchange Server using mailbox information". I made the service account in the Windows 2008 domain, Exchange Administrator and Local administrator on the Exchange server, but to no avail. I can connect to the Exchange server using Outlook 2003 with the service account and I verified the permissions on the Public Folders. I'm running out of ideas. Is is possible that the Inter-org Replication Tool is not compatible with Windows 2008 or that it needs special permissions to connect? Please give me some ideas Thanks in advance

 

I remember that officially the InterOrg Replication tool is not supported with Exchange 2007, they recommend having an Exchange 2003 server to replicate to in the Exchange 2007 organization just for the purpose. That being said, I've done it before in a test environment. You sound like you are a pretty advanced user so I would suggest running NetMon (or Wireshark) when you are attempting to connect to the Exchange 2007 server. This should help identify what component is generating the error.

If you do that feel free to send me a PM with the capture and I can help look it over.

I installed the NetMon and I got the following messages : 21 3.703125 EXCH-VIRTUAL 10.192.1.30 TCP TCP: Flags=.S......, SrcPort=1534, DstPort=DCE endpoint resolution(135), Len=0, Seq=1038595329,

Wow, the forum software murdered the formatting, and thats going to be tough to read.
Can you attach a txt file of the capture?

 

 

I don't know how to attach txt files in the forum, I sent it to you by e-mail Thank you

You can attach a file by going to the options tab when editing or creating a post.

I was able to adjust the formatting of the text and was able to look through the capture. Are the Exchange 2003 and 2007 servers on the same network or is there a router/firewall/etc between them? If so what make/model?

It looks like the 2003 server is able to bind to the directory and ask for data but at this point I can't tell if anything is actually returned. We may need to run the capture again and then I can hopefully look over the entire capture file.
