  • Exchange management console initialization failure

    Hi all.
    One of my clients SBS 2011 standard servers downloaded some updates yesterday & since then both the Exchange Management Console & Shell fail to open. In addition mail to the smart phones no longer works. Everything else seems ok. Mail is delivered
    & received via Outlook, all services are running. I have tried uninstalling the updates, but the Microsoft C++2010 Redistributable that was installed yesterday does not appear in the list of updates to uninstall. Only one of these updates is listed
    which is from 2012. This is the first part of the problem to resolving this issue. There are no "hidden updates" I am sure that this update was the most likely to be causing this issue. Any clues as to how to remove this update?
    The Exchange Management Console error is below.
    Connecting to the remote server failed with the following error message : The WinRM client cannot process the request. It cannot determine the content type of the HTTP response from the destination computer. The content type is absent or invalid.
    Exchange Management Shell errors.
    Connecting to the remote server failed with the following error message : The WinRM client received an HTTP server error status (500), but the remote service did not include any other information about the cause of the failure.
    Connecting to the remote server failed with the following error message : The WinRM client cannot process the request. It cannot determine the content type of the HTTP response
    from the destination computer. The content type is absent or invalid.
    I have checked the settings as per the following possible solutions.
    https://support.microsoft.com/kb/2027063?wa=wsignin1.0
    I have added & removed & added the WinRM IIS extension & ran WinRM Quickconfig
    I have checked Powershell directory in IIS on the problem server. Make sure SSL is not required. Allow
    only Anonymous access.
    I have run this command from the Windows Powershell - note the warning
    set-user yourusername -remotepowershellenabled:$true
    Warning: The command completed successfully but no settings of “domain.local/MyBusiness/Users/SBSUsers/User” have
    been modified
    Checked the ExchangeInstallPath environment variable
    Checked the application pool settings in IIS are set to Local System Identity
    About the only item I have not tries is to remove & reinstall the PowerShell directory. I will do this over the weekend.
    This server has been in operation for almost 3 years without an issue. Microsoft updates come down & now I have been working on the issue for about 6 hours. Any other ideas?
    Regards, Scott

    Explore Powershell Virutal Directory , what is the size of Web.config file?
    What happens if you browse Powershell VD ?
    Check the Powershell Application Pool
    Make sure Enable 32 bit application under advance settings is set to FALSE

    Hi,
    If you look more closely at the STUCK Thread stack trace, you will notice that the thread is attempting to acquire a LOCK on the following Object monitor: java.io.PrintStream@41a53700. The native thread state is also in a BLOCKED state.
    My primary recommendation is to generate a full JVM Thread Dump (next re-occurence) so we can identify the potential culprit Thread holding such lock. One more thing, please see if you have multiple snapshots of this thread 294?
    I also recommend to review the following source code:
    com.wyndham.operations.user.eventHandlers.PostCreateOperationsEventHandler.execute(PostCreateOperationsEventHandler.java:60)
    Sharing the same Stream object in this case would trigger thread lock contention given java.io.PrintStream has built-in synchronization ex:
       public void println(String x) {
      synchronized (this) {
         print(x);
         newLine();

  • Monitoring info not appearing in console for one of the managed server

    Monitoring info not appearing in console for one of the managed server though server is running fine. It happens some times. I tried to get these info from executruntimeMBean, but that is also not returning any info for that server. The entry for that server get erased from running-managed-server.xml after some time. Any idea why?

    hi Arun,
    Please find the below diagnostic module config fom the condig.xml
    <server-diagnostic-config>
    <data-retirement-enabled>true</data-retirement-enabled>
    <wldf-data-retirement-by-age>
    <name>DomainHealth_WLDFRetirePolicy_m2ap5</name>
    <enabled>true</enabled>
    <archive-name>HarvestedDataArchive</archive-name>
    <retirement-time>2</retirement-time>
    <retirement-period>6</retirement-period>
    <retirement-age>1</retirement-age>
    </wldf-data-retirement-by-age>
    </server-diagnostic-config>
    This configuration was present earlier also, but it looks like the logs statrted accumulating recently due to some other changes made to console. There is nothing coming under the WLDF console extension in server admin console.
    Other than changing the start script, will it be fine to go the file location ./server/data/store/diagnostics/WLSDIAGNOSTIC**.DAT and delete the older file while the server is running now?
    Incase not posisible , an example on the change in startscript and the config.xml will b helpful
    thanks

  • An error occurred during the initialization of the view manager - Web IC

    We just upgraded our CRM Dev system from 4.0 to 5.0.  We've already done this once on our Sandbox.  However, in our Dev environment, I execute CRM_IC.  Select my profile and then get an exception.
    An error occurred during the initialization of the view manager
    An exception has occurred
    Exception Class CX_SY_REF_IS_INITIAL
    Text: Dereferencing of the NULL reference
    Program: CL_BSP_WD_VIEW_MANAGER========CP
    Include: CL_BSP_WD_VIEW_MANAGER========CM003
    Source Text Row: 86
    This is the line of code that the exception occurs.  I debugged through, but not sure what the problem is.    It seems like it should have something to do with the runtime profile, but I can't seem to find anything wrong.  This problem doesn't happen in the sandbox, but we are on a slightly higher support pack in our Development environment.
        get own initial rep view reference
          INITIAL_REP_VIEW = REPOSITORY->GET_INITIAL_VIEW( ).
    Any ideas?  I've already search OSS.
    Thanks, Cat

    Thirumala,
      Thank for your reply.  I already recompiled CRM_IC.  I'm trying to execute the standard Webclient and still getting the error.  I also reactivated CRM_IC_DT_REP and CRM_IC_RT_REP, but no luck.   I went to SICF and made sure all the services starting with CRM_IC were activated too.  Any other suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Cat

  • RMAN-00554: initialization of internal recovery manager package failed

    Hi Folks,
    I am getting the below mentioned error........
    RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
    RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============
    RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
    RMAN-00554: initialization of internal recovery manager package failed
    RMAN-04004: error for recovery catalog database:ORA_28000: The account is locked.
    I have also tried unlocking the account & now its UNLOCKED but again i am getting the same message....
    Please assist..!
    Thanks in advance..!

    ORA-28000: the account is locked
    Cause: The user has entered wrong password consequently for maximum number of times specified by the user"s profile parameter FAILED_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS, or the DBA has locked the account
    Action: Wait for PASSWORD_LOCK_TIME or contact DBA
    I think you have specified a profile to the user for recovery manager where failed_login_attempts was set. Because of wrong password attempts the account got locked.
    Unlocking of account should work.. Check whether you can login to sql*plus ?
    Change the profile's FAILED_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS value and try once again.

  • Having issues with profile manager on 10.9 loosing users/device assignments.

    I'm having issues with profile manager on 10.9 loosing users/device assignments. Luckly I only have arround 70 devices added so far. The first time it happened I thought it was just a freak thing, but it has just happened again. What I find weird is nothing on the server was changed, no devices added. So when this happens my users phones lose access to email, because I'm using variables, which rely on the user being assigned to the device. Anyone know how to fix this, and if not. Does anyone know how to backup and restore just profile manager in 10.9. Thanks.

    I enabled all users in my AD "Domain Users" group access to "Profile Manager". I had also initially enabled "Profile Manager" access for a few individual users. Those users did not loss the device assignments. I'm not absolutely sure why/if allowing access for a group is causing this issue. Enabling access for each person would be very time consuming.... Maybe adding access to the individual users is importing that user into OD?

  • Issues With Football Manager Live

    Over the last few days I have had issues with Football Manager Live for which I have played for a year with no issues. At around 7 pm the game just died, yet I have no trouble playing any other online games that require more bandwidth. I read the FML forums and there are lots of people saying they have the same issues with BT. Can anyone please provide a solution? Many thanks

    Hi James,
    Thanks for the post and welcome to the forum.
    Have you been able to play Football Manager online again?  There could be a number of reasons for the game drop out but I think broadband speed would be a good place to start.
    Please run a speed test via www.speedtester.bt.com and post your results here, this will give us a clear picture of how your connection is running and if there are any issues.  At the very least we can rule out broadband speed being the cause.
    Cheers

  • [Forum FAQ]Solution for Windows PowerShell console font issue when changing system locale

    Issue description
    After changing Windows System Locale to another country, users cannot modify Windows PowerShell console font to Lucida after modifying the font settings. There is also a potential bug report in Microsoft connect:
    https://connect.microsoft.com/PowerShell/feedback/details/806286/powershell-4-console-font-issue
    Reason
    In most situations, this problem is caused by system locale is changed to other countries from United States, such as Chinese, French, etc. Because of this change, the code page and font of Windows PowerShell console might be changed with system locale.

    Access to the path below to find the shortcut of Windows PowerShell:
    %systemdrive%\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\System Tools.

    Switch to Options, check if Current code page list there, if that it is, choose
    437 (OEM-United States) and click Apply. Maybe you will encounter an
    Access Deniedpop-up as the following picture.  Then you need take ownership of current PowerShell File, switch to
    Security Tab and obtain full control permission for current User Account.
    Note: if Current code page was not list there, just leave alone
    Options settings and switch to Font Tab.
    Switch to Font Tab, choose the font you wished to use, click

    Cause
    This issue is due to the bootmgr file, we cannot use the bootmgr file of Windows 7 to find the Windows 8 Operating System files.
    The Windows 7 bootmgr can indeed boot Windows 8.
    This is on a BIOS system

    This is on a UEFI system 
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3-K6Fyobz0
    The Windows 8 bootmgr partially loads Windows 8 before offering the boot menu.  By choosing Windows 7, the system must do a reboot.  Using the Windows 7 bootmgr, no reboot is required.

  • Solaris Management Console initialization

    Pulling hair out .. please help.
    i have applied the patches for smc/wbem/viper (i think).
    I am having a problem starting the SMC server. I finally managed to direct the error output and see this:
    Starting SMC server version 2.0.0.

    I believe this is a fault in the crypto file that is mentioned in the Yahoo X86 posting, namely pkcs11_kernel.so. I have a possible workaround for this. Try looking at:
    http://www.webmin.com
    This is a free Web-based management tool that has most but not all of the functionality of the SMC. I tried downloading and installing the Solaris package from their download page, but this didn't work. What I eventually did was remove the package and download and install the generic Unix version, which was webmin-1.160.tar.gz as of when I downloaded it. The only gotchas to watch for are to run the setup.sh script and select Sun Solaris as the O/S, then select Solaris 9 as the version (they don't technically support 10 yet). I have been able to add users and groups and manage the disk without problems.
