Classic enviornment not starting

When I try to start classic I get a message that I haven't come across in the troubleshooting section.
It says "Cassic was unable to update it's files in "System Folder"
This problem is very recent, and classic has worked perfectly up till now. Any ideas why it wouldn't be able to update files? My thanks to everyone who can help.

Hello jsunday,
Your Classic System Folder could be damaged. Test it. Restart your computer then hold down the Option key as it boots. This will show your bootable systems in your hard drive. If you are running 10.3.x and your System 9 system folder is OK, it should show up. If it shows up, select it and click on the right arrow to continue. If it boots in System 9 fine, restart the computer and it should reboot to 10.3.x. Try to launch Classic now.
If System 9 doesn't show or boot completely, then it is possibly corrupted or damaged. Boot from your OS 9 CD, trash the old System 9 System Folder, and do a clean reinstall. Good luck.

Ipod Classic does not start up

I've tried the toggling of the Hold button, holding down the Menu, Play & Middle button...
Right now I have it plugged into my PC. It does not appear in my iTunes.
HELP.

So the iPod does not even power on? If so, that would why it's not recognized in iTunes.
How old is the device and how long have you left it to charge? If the iPod's battery was completed depleted, you'll need to wait at least half an hour (sometimes longer) before the device will or could show any signs of life.

Classic does not start in Tiger - again!

I have read all the recent discussion about this, but nothing again exactly fits. I have just installed OS10.4.7 on my iMac over OS10.0 and Classic 9.1. Classic used to work perfectly, and now OS10.4.7 works perfectly, but Classic freezes when the smiling face appears. I can restart from 9.1, so that's a workaround.
Now, I've tried to update to OS9.2.2 as recommended on the support pages and in previous discussions, but when I use the installers, I get the message that they cannot be used to update the "localized" version of 9.1 that I have. So I am stuck. Any ideas???

Boot from OS 9.1 and try updating to 9.2.2. See http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=75288 for more information. Another option is to revert to 10.0, updating to 9.2.2, and then going to 10.4.7.

Classic won't start up PLEASE HELP!!!

I am using OS X on a powerbook G4 and classic will not start up. THe status bar comes on but does not move, it remains in the same postion, not freezing.
I have left it for over an hour and still nothing...
Does anyone have advice on why classic is not starting up?

I don't know for sure, but it may be an extensions conflict. Did you change anything in the System Folder lately.
If you go to the Advanced tab in the System Preferences Classic panel, you should see an option to start Classic with extension off. If that works, you'll have to do some detective work to figure out which non-Apple extension is causing the problem.
If you only use Classic under Mac OS X (you don't boot directly into Mac OS 9 anymore) there are ways to optimize Classic System Folder. If you do a Google search on "optimize classic mac" you should see some web sites. The one on LowEndMac.com is here.
http://www.lowendmac.com/practical/02/0507.html
You can also create a separate "for Classic under Mac OS X only" System Folder (and put it anywhere, even on a disk image), if you want to keep a bootable "fully enabled" System Folder.

OS 9 will not start, but its installed

I did a software restore on my G4 flat panel mac os 10.2.8. Now classic will not start. I dragged the system folder for mac os 9 to my hard drive, which was located on the mac os 9 install cd. I am unable to start my computer from the os 9 cd. When I open system preferences and under the classic folder it says select a system folder for classic. Under Hard drive the system folder is highlighted. However, when I start classic, i get this white box which says: The system software on the startup disk only functions on the original media, not if copied to another drive. In the background is the much larger box that always shows up when classic starts. But it doesnt start. the white box just appears and I am completely lost. I tried to install os 9, but it says it is already installed and the white box appears again. Please help.

Medina,
6 CDs is exactly right, these are your restore discs. You should be able to insert the first one and run the restore program. If I could find my copies of the 6 CD's from my old iMacG4 (now given away) I could tell you exactly where to look, but it's can't see the wood for the trees here.
Always the last place you look. And now I see what you mean. And this now explains everything.
I think that the 6 CDs you have are exactly the same as mine, that is they are for a first generation FP iMac. For this iMac you had to boot of the first CD (into OS9 - despite what I assumed earlier). This would explain the presence of an OS9 System Folder on the restore CDs.
Now if you cannot boot from the first CD, it would suggest that these CDs did not come with your iMac. I'd be a bit perplexed as to how you managed to restore OSX 10.2 (in your first post) and now you're up to OSX 10.3.
None of this matters though. With a bit of copying you should be able to get a usable OS9 system folder onto your iMac. You'll need about 5G of free disk space.
On each CD is a Configurations folder. In there is a disk image "iMac HD Disc #", where # is from 1 to 6. You should copy each of these to your iMac internal hard disk, in a folder all of their own. Then mount the first disk image, all the rest should be used as required and you'll end up with an original iMac mounted disk image. You can then copy the System Folder from that to your internal hard disk. Then unmount the disk image and trash the 6 disk image files.
If you need more detailed instructions, let us know.

Classic not starting in tiger

I have a freshly installed copy of Tiger and an equally fresh copy of Mac OS 9.1 on my G3 Pismo. Tiger runs. And if I boot classic, it runs too.
But when I launch classic Tiger, it displays the startup screen and then hangs.
I can cancel the startup without a problem.
How do I figure out why Classic won't start?
Gary

Please ignore my earlier reply. I rarely use Classic and had forgotten how it works. I must have been thinking about another emulation. The startup window looked like my normal OS 9 Desktop and I was expecting it to open the OS 9 Finder after the startup process. Pity Classic does not have any obvious route to OS 9 applications. I have now put both application folders in the Dock with 'A' and '9' icons.
I can now report that my Classic is working as it should.
If you have not already done so I advise updating to OS 9.2.2.
You will find OS 9 updates at one of the following (the first link will not download anything to the UK but it may work in the US):

Settings (and other Apps) Will Not Start (Metro)

This morning most Modern Apps will not start on my system, including the Settings app. It seems to be a DCOM failure and seems directly related to this old thread.

This is a current Windows 8.1 installation, full up to date on patches, and the problem still occurs after rebooting. I checked for newly installed patches, etc. and the only thing recent was the Windows Defender definitions update.
It's an i7 with 32 GB of RAM, fast SSD's etc. I don't believe this is a hardware problem in any way.

That matches almost exactly with the referenced thread. But that thread never seemed to give a set of steps to resolve the issue (other than doing a Refresh which would be a catastrophic waste of time, reinstalling my whole development environment).
I really would appreciate some help resolving this issue. If I'm in the wrong forum, please move or suggest a more appropriate place.
Thanks,
 Mike

Server 08 R2 DC - unable to open ADUC, netlogon does not start

Hello everyone, and thank you in advance for any possible support.
Note: All identifying server/domain names have been replaced with "CORP" "Sub" and "Sibling" where appropriate. Our forest consists of 3 domains - two which are 'siblings' at the top, CORP and Sibling, (corp being
the primarily used one), and one which is a 'child' of Corp (Sub).
Today we identified that on one of my domain controllers (named for this post, CORP-DC6) we are unable to open ADUC. This is only one of our 8 DC's, and it does not hold any FSMO roles; the only two important pieces on this server is that it's where we manage
our OCS from (we use ADUC on this system to enable a user for OCS, create SIP addresses, etc) and that Certification Authority is installed on the system.
Attempting to open ADUC gives error "Naming information cannot be located because: The target principal name is incorrect."
Web searches for this prompted me to check DNS for issues. In looking into DNS, I found that the system was somehow assigned a different IP address than it should have (it was now at 192.168.1.124 instead of 192.168.1.290 where it should have been).
I moved the IP address back to the correct IP, and rebooted.
The issue was still there, so I continued searching; which lead me to a suggestion to check out my netlogon service. I found that the Netlogon service was NOT running. When attempting to start the service, it fails and I am presented wih the
following error in the System event log:

At this point, I've read a bunch of stuff online and not really found anything that has helped nor seemed completely relevant.
Additional Info that may help out:
When I open Server Manager, it seems to think the local system's name is WIN-3OL3DIFK4S instead of CORP-DC6; similarly opening Device Manager from w/in Server manger gives a message about managing a remote system; even though I am managing the local system.
There are additional errors in the System and Application log which are certainly issues, but I do not know if they pertain to the main issue at hand here or not.

Link to output of DCDiag on pastebin: http://pastebin.com/VFPTcEGT
Smply based on a quick look through of the dcdiag and the various event log messages, It seems to me that the NetLogon service not starting up is causing most of the errors; but I am not aware of how to get it to start up.

Thank you for the quick response!
Windows firewall is disabled for all network profiles.
We have do have 7 DC's in the forest. here's an image i created a while back that lists our DC's and shows the replication partners (not really relevant, but this shows the DC's) http://i.imgur.com/AtjGuiM.jpg
I believe May 27 was a date in which we performed maintenance/upgrades on our vmware virtual hardware on this VM; when we upgraded the virtual hardware, it created a new NIC device on this server (which is how the system lost it's IP address configuration).
Today, I assigned the correct IP to the 'new' NIC.
will look at link about Kerberos
I'm unfortunately not familiar enough with the purposes of the internal vs external forwarders to comment on this or make a change at this time.
IPConfig info shown below
DNS is AD integrated, each domain has it's own DNS servers and have conditional forwarders to point to the other domain when appropriate. I believe each DC is also running DNS, but via DHCP we only pass out at most two DNS servers to client systems (main
office, it's 192.168.1.7, 192.168.1.8)

Same thing happens when i click restart.
No difference when i run it in Safe mode. And it won't let me create a new profile either. Is there anyway else i can extract my bookmarks? This is driving me crazy!

Did the crash reporter send any crash reports? 
You can see the crash reports in this folder:
"C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Crash Reports"
See: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Breakpad
See also [[Firefox crashes when you open it]]
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems. 
See [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile]] 
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" 
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files) 
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox 
If that still causes the same problem then do a clean reinstall and remove the Firefox program folder.
* Download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
* Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
* Don't remove personal data when uninstalling.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.

Remote Desktop Management service not starting. service-specific error: %%2284126209 - Event ID: 7024

Hi Forum members,
We have a client that has intermittent issues with RDS on a 2012 R2 server.
As an overview of the environment, the client has a single VMWare host support 2 x Windows 2012 R2 VMs one is the File/Print/Email server and the 2nd is the RDS server used to allow the client to run MYOB Enterprise. Both servers have the AD DS role and
DNS roles amongst others.
The 1st issue is that the RD Connection Broker shows the error: "The server pool does not match the RD Connection Brokers that are in it. and then "1. Cannot connect to any of the specified RD Connection Broker servers".
The above issue seems to be caused by the RDMS service not starting. When you attempt to start it, the service stops and the error in the title is logged in the "System" event log. Full transcript below:

I have been attempting to resolve these errors for some time, without success. I have read the many KBs and forum entries related to the above and applied a number of the suggested fixes, including the one which suggests to add the NT SERVICE\ALL SERVICES
to the "Logon as a Service" in the "User Rights Assignment" of the "Default Domain Policy" which is linked to the domain level, that both servers are objects of.
My question to the forum is, can anyone come up with a solution to resolve the above issues and all the RDMS service to start which will then hopefully resolve the broker error?
Regards,
David West.

Hi David,
If virtual machines on the server are Windows Server 2012, then it is not supported to install Remote Desktop Connection Broker on a Domain Controller.
More information for you:
Remote Desktop Services role cannot co-exist with AD DS role on Windows Server 2012
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2799605/de
Guidelines for installing the Remote Desktop Session Host role service on a computer running Windows Server 2012 without the Remote Desktop Connection Broker role service
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2833839
If the VMs are Windows Server 2012 R2, I suggest you install RDS on a separate machine to see if the issue persists.
Best Regards,
Amy

My ipod classic will not sync to my new laptop with windows 8. Any suggestions please?

I have an iPod classic U2 Limited Edition. After hours of sorting and searching for lost tunes I finally managed to re-create my music library on my new laptop which runs on Windows 8. However, when I connected my iPod, although it starts the sync process it just stops after a few seconds. My old laptop ran on Vista Home Premium. My current laptop has the latest version of iTunes and the software version for the iPod is 1.2.1 which is also the current version. At this point it is just over half full so I know this cannot be the issue. iTunes recognises the iPod when I connect it.
I have checked some online forums and tried some fixes used by other people but these did not solve the problem
This included running iTunes as administrator and also enabling disk use

Hey there netsie_1960,
It sounds like your iPod Classic seems to start syncing, but it stops before it actually finishes. I would recommend the troublehsooting in the following article to help resolve USB syncing issues, named:
iTunes: Resolve USB-related alerts
Try these steps to check the connection between your device or computer. You might need to do only one of these steps to resolve the issue, so test your connection after each step.
See if the cable connection at the device or computer has come loose or unplugged.
Unplug the cable you're using to connect your iOS device from the USB port on your computer, and then reconnect it. Then unplug it from your iOS device, and reconnect it.
Remove any third-party battery packs or cases from the device and ensure that the USB cable is connected directly to the port on the device.
If your Lightning or 30-pin cable is connected to a keyboard, display or USB hub, try plugging it directly into a USB port on the computer instead.
Close any virtualization apps (such as Parallels or VMWare).
These apps may interfere with your computer's ability to communicate over USB if they aren't properly configured, or up to date. If this resolves the issue, contact the developer of the app to see if an update is available.
Restart your computer.
Restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
If your iOS device displays the Connect to iTunes screen, reset your device and then restore it.
If you're using an accessory or third-party cable to connect your device, try using an Apple cable with the device instead.
Update to the latest version of iTunes if you haven't already.
Disconnect other USB devices from your computer, except for your keyboard and mouse. Then, reconnect your iOS device. If the issue is resolved, reconnect the other USB devices one at a time. Make sure your iOS device is still recognized by the computer after adding back each device.
If one of these steps resolves the issue, but it comes back later, make sure you haven't changed how the device is connected. For example, check to see if you plugged the device into a specific accessory, or used a specific cable that reintroduced the issue.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

Black 80gb Classic iPod not recognised by Windows My Computer or iTunes

I live in Australia. I am on my third black 80g ipod classic in two days as Apple support hasnt resolved issue and they keep giving me a case number and having the retailer replace the 80g Classic. It is driving me balmy and I still havent resolved the issue where my vista laptop is not recognising the device. I have reistalled itunes, drivers, stopped and restarted device service manager and it still doesnt show up on windows or itunes, I have no other devices plugged in and when I plug my other silver 80g classic or my three shuffles in they all work, including at the same time. I take them all out and still the new Black 80g classic is not recognized. I have no idea now.
All support staff and the staff at Myer have been excellent so far but still no result.

I have been down again and checked that the ipod worked on another computer which it did. Came home again and still doesnt recognise this ipod.
I have removed itunes
reinstalled itunes
changed drive names ( I have another classic and three shuffles that all work fine)
stopped and started device manager for ipod and itunes
cleared rubbish bin
spoken with apple support three times
rebooted the ipod
tried in disc mode
reinstalled drivers
It still says in device manager that the new classic is not recognised. All my virus scans are up to date, windows updates are current on vista, drivers are up to date for ipod and all ports.
Can anyone assist me?
I am just about to take the ipod back and get a refund as they have replaced them twice and I am on my third.
I feel like it is a conflicting driver issue that may only be resolved when ipod software is updated by apple or microsoft.
I have reported issue to microsoft and there are no current solutions according to them.

Exchange 2013 CU5 fresh install suffering issues with services not starting and coexistence with 2007

Hi everyone,
Hope you can help me out on a couple of issues I've been experiencing during the initial stages of a project to upgrade an on premise Exchange 2007 to 2013.
On Monday last week I installed the first Exchange 2013 server into the network after a few weeks of careful planning, information gathering and remediation of our current Exchange 2007 environment and associated systems.
The server itself has been having some issues from the word go, some of which I've resolved but none that are show stoppers but I want to get them resolved before building more servers and setting up the planned 2 x 2 node DAG's
The main problems are as follows:
There's usually one service that does not start following an OS restart and it's not always the same service. So far I've seen the following not start: DAG Management, Migration Workflow, Anti-spam Update, Unified Messaging, UM Call Router, Transport
Service.
The critical system event log entries are complaining of timeouts when the services are starting up but I can't imagine that the servers boot time is too long... It's a 2 vCPU/12Gb vRAM VM, Windows 2012 R2
I receive an error in the Event Log regarding RPC over HTTP Proxy
to one of the 2007 CAS servers (not our primary one). The first error was because the Windows Component was missing but since installing it, disabling Outlook Anywhere, reenabling it, restarting the server, I now have a new error which is shown further down
this post
The Exchange 2013 server install is pretty default, CAS/MBX roles and some basic configuration performed such as new DNS entries, Public SSL certs installed and assigned, URL's updates, SCP updated. I have review and resolved some errors from the event logs
for over chatty warnings about disk space (the warning is that we have loads of space...)
This is a brief outline of the environment:
Exchange 2007 SP3 RU13
UK - Two physical locations in a stretch LAN (100Mb WAN)
4 x CCR Cluster Mailbox Servers in two separate CCR Clusters
Cluster 1 - Windows 2003 R2: One physical, one virtual server - don't ask, legacy install and I know the virtual is not a supported configuration.
Cluster 2 - Windows 2008 R2: Two virtuals - New cluster built following a 4 day failure of Cluster 1. The aim was to move to supported config and decommission cluster 1.
Note: Migration of Cluster 1 to Cluster 2 was halted as 2013 was so close it seemed pointless to continue the migration and instead migrate both Clusters to 2013 once in production.
2 x Virtual Windows 2003 R2 - Hub Transport Servers
2 x Virtual Windows 2003 R2 - Client Access Servers
1 x Virtual Windows 2003 R2 - Unified Messaging Server
1 x Virtual Windows 2003 R2 - Edge Transport Server (DMZ)
US - One physical location
1 x Physical Windows 2008 R2 - Mailbox, Client Access, Hub Transport Server
Exchange 2013 CU5
UK - Installed into same site along side Exchange 2007 servers
1 x Virtual Windows 2012 R2 - Mailbox, Client Access Server
Problem 2 Error Message - Please note, server names and domain name changed:

Hi Off2work,
I've gone through the article and the Get-OutlookAnywhere commandlet looks fine (especially when compared with our working CAS).
Having looked through IIS I have spotted two additional misconfigurations with a missing setting to require SSL on the RPC folder and also the .NET version was not set.
I've now set those to Require SSL and .NET 2.0.5072 however this has made no difference following restarted of both 2007 CAS and 2013 servers.
I could potentially reinstall the CAS server or additionally decommission it as we have two of them and the other is not causing any errors with the 2013 server. This broken CAS server doesn't even have DNS records (except it's own hostname) or firewall
rules pointing to it, nor does it have any active client connections if I check with a quick netstat -a
As for UM, it's next on my list following some client/server connectivity testing so I have not yet assigned the SSL to the services or setup the dial plans, etc.
The services do start most of the time, but others then don't so it's not a consistent issue with just this service. On my current boot, the DAG Management service failed to start, but again I don't have a DAG implemented yet.
I will see if UM drops out of that list once I've configured it shortly
Thanks for taking the time to respond (and that goes to DareDevil too)

In XP Mode on Windows 7, after installing application as like I would normally on an actual XP system, application will not start in windows XP mode itself.

Just did a clean install of windows 7. I then downloaded windows XP mode and Windows Virtual Mode. Everything ran flawlessly and everything is updated. I needed to Install a program called Dentrix 10.5 which can only be installed on Windows
XP for numerous reasons and one including it needing to use Microsoft .NET 1.0. I installed this program on Windows XP Mode as I would as if I were installing it with a computer with windows XP. The Install of the program went fine and completed.
Still being in Windows XP Mode I wanted to see how it would run. I hit Start Menu, All Programs, Startup Programs, and clicked on the Dentrix Application. Once I clicked it the time glass on the mouse was there for a few seconds and
then went away without the application starting up at all. One thing that I'm thinking is why after I clicked Start Menu, All programs, is why was Dentrix not in its own folder and instead in the Startup programs after All programs? Any Ideas how
to get the program to run? Like I said, I am trying to run the program in Windows XP Mode and not Windows 7 as I have found many Q's and A's on only how to do that. Also this is the second application which I downloaded and the first being Microsoft
Security Essentials so I know I don't have some virus from keeping from opening the Dentrix Application. Incase you are wondering the Microsoft Security Essentials opens and runs fine in Windows XP Mode. So Pretty Much My Main question is: Why
my application not starting up in Windows XP Mode? Any help is greatly appreciated!

Once I clicked it the time glass on the mouse was there for a few seconds and then went away without the application starting up at all.
A couple times a week I open Dentrix 11.0 in a virtual machine on Windows 7. I experience the same thing almost every time I open the VM. I must first get Windows to "reconnect" my network for me. Do this by opening Start | My Computer, and
double-click on the mapped network drive leading to the Dentrix data. After I can see the Dentrix data drive, Dentrix will be able to read it too and will open correctly.
In Dentrix, seeing nothing (or briefly seeing a hourglass and then seeing nothing) is a classic sign that either:
- The database files are marked as Read Only
- The program cannot access the data files (probably the folder it is pointed to does not contain any data).
- Or possibly the database path does not point to the right location where the data files are located
Open the folder where you installed the program files of Dentrix (probably c:\program files\dentrix\) and double-click to run EP.EXE. The database path will be revealed. You can "Browse" to the correct location, and "OK" through the dialog to
close them. Then try opening Dentrix again.
Should that not work, open Start | My Computer, and try to open the path (starting with the drive letter, then the folder structure you saw in EP.EXE).
By the way, if your path uses UNC (starting with two back-slashes and then the computer name of the server), you'll need to map a network drive and replace your path with a mapped drive path. (Map a drive in Start | My Computer | Tools | Map Network
Drive). Dentrix really doesn't like UNC paths.
Dentrix 10.5 can only be installed on Windows XP
Microsoft .NET 1.0
Just FYI, Microsoft .Net Framework 1.0 is required only for the "Time Clock" feature of Dentrix. Windows 7 already has .NET Framework features up to version 3.5 built in, and Time Clock (in my experience) works great under Windows 7 without installing
.NET 1.0.
Have you tried installing directly in Windows 7? I have a specific reason why I don't (I have a newer version of Dentrix installed on my Win 7 machine, and use the VM to go back to an older database occasionally - so I can't mix two different program versions
on the same machine). If you were to try installing this program under Windows 7 directly, Dentrix will launch the Microsoft .NET Framework install after the Dentrix install is completed. Just cancel out at that point (Windows will probably give you an "incompatibility"
error message anyway before allowing the install to go through) and I believe you can run it under Windows 7. That might eliminate the networking-through-the-VM issue. So, if you have no other reason not to install Dentrix on your Windows 7 machine directly,
I'd try it. You might be surprised and if it works, you'd save yourself some headache with connecting the to network through the virual machine.
Is why was Dentrix not in its own folder and instead in the Startup programs after All programs?
During the installation, on the Select Program Folder screen, you must have clicked the "Startup" option under Existing Folders. By default, "Dentrix" will be typed into the box at the top. If you simply clicked Next, it would have gone
to the correct location. The screen is a little confusing, because something in the list will be highlighted by default, but what is typed into the box at the top will actually be used.

MSExchangeSA and IS is not starting automatic at reboot after upgrading the server from SP1 to SP2

I am running a 2 node DAG with separate Hub & CAS servers
I have already upgraded the Hub CAS server and they are fine
Exchange running on Windows 2008 R2 SP1
All are in VM-Ware ESXi 5.0
After I upgrade the mailbox server to SP2 the SA and IS service not starting automatic after reboot
If I run "net time /set" command and then restart ADtopology server, the IS and SA starts fine
But again after reboot they do not start
Also I get the below event in the app log when the IS & SA fails to start
Log Name: Application
Source: MSExchangeIS
Date: 05/22/2012 5:15:03 AM
Event ID: 5003
Task Category: General
Level: Error
Keywords: Classic
User: N/A
Computer: server.domain.com
Description:
Unable to initialize the Information Store service because the clocks on the client and server are skewed. This may be caused by a time change either on the client or on the server, and may require a restart of that computer. Verify that your domain is correctly
configured and is currently online.
If I check the Registry for time resource it is taking from the DC
I manually compared the time between DC and Exchange and it is fine
Since the Exchange mailbox is virtual, I checked the time sync on VM-Ware tools and it is "unchecked"
Checked for group policy and do not find any specific to time sync.
Confirmed that Windows Time service is running
Suspecting a Operating system issue, tried to upgrade the other DAG
Even that node is displaying the same symptom and Issues
Tried to install RU1 on both nodes and that too did not fix the issue.
Checked with VM-Ware engineer and he said that every thing from VM-Ware end is fine
Is Anyone have come across the issue before ?

Exchange 2010: Unable to initialize the Information Store
Problem:
Unable to initialize the Information Store service because the clocks on the client and server are skewed. This may be caused by a time change either in the client or the server, and may require a reboot of that computer. Verify that
your domain is properly configured and is currently online.
Solution:
Open a cmd prompt from the Exchange Server as administrator (right mouse click on the command prompt shortcut and select “Run as Administrator”)
Run this command
Net time \\ADServerName /Set
Restart the Microsoft Exchange Active Directory Topology Service
*Important!! You have to restart the Microsoft Exchange Active Directory Topology Service or this fix will not work.. I tried just starting the Information Store service after running the command it it still failed..
This worked for me and all is well on my exchange server.
