Exchange 2013 CU 1 - Windows process activation errors

Hi,
after upgrading to Exchange 2013 CU1, I get the following errors in the eventlog for all Exchange Application pools. These errors show up every 5 to 10 minutes:
A process serving application pool 'MSExchangeECPAppPool' suffered a fatal communication error with the Windows Process Activation Service. The process id was '8068'. The data field contains the error number.
A process serving application pool 'MSExchangeOWAAppPool' suffered a fatal communication error with the Windows Process Activation Service. The process id was '8248'. The data field contains the error number.
A process serving application pool 'MSExchangePowerShellFrontEndAppPool' terminated unexpectedly. The process id was '8652'. The process exit code was '0xffffffff'.
Exchange 2013 CU1 is running on Windows 2012.
Franc.

Hi,
It is a IIS error. Please check the Windows Process Activation service in the Exchange server. Make sure the service is started.
Please have a try to restart the server then change the issue again.

Event ID: 7024 Windows Process Activation Service will not start error %%-2147467243

Reside on a network that contains network GPOs. We are given authority to create unique GPOs for our specific LAN Web server. Our Intranet web page requires Windows Process Activation Service and another service to open. Before creating
the local GPO, the two services were in Disabled mode, but we could set them to Manual and start them. The network GPOs would reset them at random every few hours, but again we could reset them. After creating the local GPO, the WPAS is set to
Manual and will not start at all with the Title errors being generated. Administrator previously completed successful GPO mods in WinSvr2003. Is there a different way of doing GPOs in WinSvr2008R2? I cannot provide logs or further details
other than the above. Any ideas would be helpful.

Then you should adjust your "network" GPOs which we usually call "domain
gpos"...

Installation Error - Windows Process Activation Service (WAS) and WWW Publi

Hi all,
I am a newbie to UPK..
Just tried installing UPK Developer Server + Client on my local machine, and hit upon the following error that I have no idea of !!
Service status check
Setup cannot determine if Windows Process Activation Service (WAS) and World Wide Web Publishing are installed on the computer.
Confirm that Windows Process Activation Service (WAS) and World Wide Web Publishing are installed and running on the computer.
Please select another configuration.
OK
I am using Win 7 Ultimate.. 32 bit.. ran the Installer with Administrator privileges already !!
Any help from you, in case you have the solution, would be highly appreciated.. :)
Besties..
Sahil

Hi Sahil,
Couple of things here - The server component on UPK can only be installed on Windows Server 2003 or 2008 - so it seems as if you are choosing the incorrect installation option when running the setup. There are normally a few options when you run the setup for UPK - these include the following:
1. Developer Client
2. Developer Server
3. Developer Server and Client
4. Developer Single User
5. Knowledge Center
You should be selecting option 4 - Developer Single user. This will install all binaries required (including the database) to your local machine. This option is not used as a multi-user environment, but rather for sole use on your PC/laptop. If you intend on installing on a multi-user environment, you will need to review the Tech Specs for UPK to ensure that you meet the Hardware and Software requirements.
The errors you are receiving about WAS is related to IIS. You need to ensure that the role for IIS is installed on your machine - The webserver component of UPK utilises IIS.
Hope this all helps.

Greig

CF11 is crashing ( application pool suffered a fatal communication error with the Windows Process Activation Service)

I have a cluster of 2 IIS web servers on Windows Server 2008 R2. They had been running on CF10 for over a year (if not two) with no problems. I upgraded one server to CF11 and now that server is crashing while the CF10 servers is still running fine.
In the Windows event log I'm seeing 4 instances of this error:
"A process serving application pool '******' suffered a fatal communication error with the Windows Process Activation Service. The process id was '4652'. The data field contains the error number."
Then finally:
"Application pool '******' is being automatically disabled due to a series of failures in the process(es) serving that application pool.".
Looking at the application pool in the IIS admin it is stopped. Restarting will resolve but it will eventually crash.
What could be the issue?
-Phil

I'm seeing in the CF logs leading up to the crash:

Unable to turn on windows process activation service thus IIS (CBS files uploaded in sky drive)

Hi,
I am trying to turn on/install IIS for local host and for that it require WAS to be installed and running. When try to turn on the feature of WAS i get the error "Error Occured. Not all the features were successfully changed." I had applied all
the patches that I could find on the net and tried cleaning and re installing the .NET. None of them worked. Please help me out as I am in critical situation and need to develop something in really quick time.
I had uploaded the files at "C:\Windows\logs\CBS" to my sky drive.
Please provide the solution for the same as I can not format my system at this point of time.
Thanks in advance.
Warm Regards,

Hi,
There are two tools that can be used to fix this issue quickly:
System Update Readiness Tool
MSConfig.exe
As for your situation, I suggest MSConfig.exe.
When you install IIS then installer adds WPAS for you automatically as one of the dependencies.
BUT when you uninstall IIS WPAS does not get uninstalled automatically – leaving the core binaries intact (this is done for a reason and is not a BUG.
In short, it’s not uninstalled to make sure we don’t end up breaking other services on the box that consume this process model explicitly – like WCF service).
One has to make sure WPAS is explicitly uninstalled by going to features under server manager and choosing “Windows Process Activation Services” to uninstall.
The detail can be found at:
http://www.iis.net/learn/troubleshoot/installation-issues/troubleshooting-iis-7x-installation-issues
Meanwhile, you’d better post the OneDrive link where you post the CBS file.

Windows Process Activation (WAS) Issue

Good Afternoon All,
I'm very new to UPK and am learning through the documentations. I have a server (windows 2003 R2 SP2). I want to install server component of the UPK on it and Client on my local machine (is that a right thing). Secondly when i tried to install (Server or Server and Client) on the Windows 2003 machine i'm getting the following error "Setup cannot determine if windows process activation service (WAS) and world wide web publishing are installed on the computer. Confirm that windows Process Activation Service (WAS) and World Wide Web Publishing are installed and running on the computer". Can anyone please help me?
Thanks

Hello thinkingeye,
The most likely reason you are experiencing this issue is because Windows Server 2003 is no longer supported by our latest version of UPK (it is also no longer supported by Microsoft).
Please see the technical requirements for our latest version of UPK, 12.1:

Windows process activation service

Hi,
Try to start windows process activation service, however it does not seen to be successful. It keep fail. From the event viewer report few id as 5005, 5036 and 5189.
I also have try to resolve the issue using the guideline given by Microsort on the reported id, however it also not helpful. Below is the error message I receive when I try to start the services manually.
A system error has occurred
System error 6801 has occur
Transaction support within the specified resources manager is not started or was shut down due to an error.
Really need a solution to resolve this issue. Thank you.
Regards,

Hi Ivy,
Thank you for the reply.
Now I suggest trying below:
1.
Back up applicationHost.config to a safe place. It is recommend to copy all folder and files under the C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\backup to the safe place too.
Remove the IIS from the server.
2.
From Control Panel\Programs and Features, in the Tasks panel, choose Turn Windows features on or off.
3.
Uncheck all of IIS.
4.
Uncheck Windows Process Activation Service (WAS), down further in the list of features.
5.
The only way to truly completely remove IIS and all the config settings is to uninstall WAS as well.
6.
After you have done the above, reboot the server.
7.
Reinstall IIS7 on the server.
8.
Then when the server comes back up go ahead and add back the IIS components, you will not have to recheck Windows Process Activation Service, it will automatically
get added when you reinstall IIS.
9.
Once IIS is completely reinstalled attempt to browse the default website and test Application Pool Custom Identity.
10.
Open the applicationHost.config file under the C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\config.
11.
Copy the <configProtectedData><providers>... </providers></configProtectedData> session and paste it into old applicationHost.config(step
one).
12.
Backup current applicationHost.config file:
a)
Click on Start, go to Programs -> Accessories-> Command Prompt, right click on
“Run as administrator “
b)
Go to the IIS7 directory. This is located in the %WINDIR%\System32\InetSrv directory by default. The configuration files are stored in the InetSrv\Config directory.
Backup the applicationHost.config file by creating a backup object with the aid of the APPCMD command-line tool.
cd /d %windir%\system32\inetsrv
appcmd add backup NewConfigBackup
13.
Copy the old applicationHost.config(step 1 and 8) to replace the new applicationHost.config under the C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\config
14.
Reset IIS (iisreset ) in Command Prompt with Run as Administrator.
Then please test the result.
If the issue persists, as this issue could be closely related to IIS, I suggest further discussing it in our IIS fourm:

Exchange 2013 SP1 on Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise - BSOD after DAG creation

Hi,
We are running Exchange 2007 SP3 RU13 on Windows 2003 R2 with SP2 in a 2003 native AD environment and recently decided to upgrade to Exchange 2013. We installed a pair of new DELL R420 servers running Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise then threw Exchange 2013 SP1
onto them. This all went fine and the servers are running stable.
We connected the second NIC of each server to the other via a separate switch, the second NIC has Client for MS Networks and File/Printer Sharing disabled plus a totally separate subnet with no DNS or GW address assigned. DAG setup was run and completed
OK. I created the DAG network in Exchange and enabled replication, I also left replication enabled across the production LAN. Finally, I went into the advanced network settings and made sure the replication network was below the production network in the binding
order.
After an hour or two the BSOD's started.. both servers would crash within a few minutes of each other and reboot with a Kernel Panic. I have attached the contents of the dump file below. This seems to happen every few hours and it always seems to be the
server hosting the passive DB copies crashes first, followed by the server hosting the active copies. Note that if we disable the replication NIC on both servers they do not crash.
I got the impression from somewhere that perhaps the servers had mixed up the binding order and were trying to use the replication network as primary, losing access to AD and rebooting (which I have read is the behaviour for Exchange now). It appears the
Exchange Health service has killed WININIT which causes the crash.
Thanks!!!

Hi Darrkon,
I suggest checking the status of the HealthMailbox on each of servers.
Also try to re-create the mailbox. You can safely delete and recreate health mailboxes.
Be aware that any local Managed Availability probes that are using the these mailboxes will fail until the Microsoft Exchange Health Manager is restarted. Once that service is restarted, it will recreate any mailboxes that it needs.
More details in the following similar thread, just for your reference:

Exchange 2013 : OWA failing after login with error "HTTPS 400"

Greetings,
I am in phase of Upgrading my existing Exchange 2007 Infra to Exchange 2013.
The environment is as mentioned below:
4 Mailbox Server (DAG)
4 CAS Servers (NLB)
Everything has been configured and working properly, except Only one CAS server is able to pass the login request
https://servername/owa
Rest of all the CAS servers are failing with error "HTTPS 400" while accessing OWA
https://localhost/owa
Its happening only while accessing OWA, ECP works fine.
Please let me know the fix to counter this strange issue.
Thanks in advance.
Regards

Hi,
Please check if IIS log is enabled on the CAS server, if not, please enable it.
Then check the detailed error code from IIS logs (Path: inetpub\logs\Logfiles\W3SVC1 ) , some code like 400.1, 400.2 ect.
Refer to this KB for more details
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/943891
After that, please post the OWA related login entry with error code shows 400.
Thanks for your time and patience.
Meanwhile, please check the OWA authentication method by command
Get-OWAVirtualDirectory –Server “Ex2013 CAS server” | fl *authentication*
We should set the authentication as the below:
Get-OWAvirtualdirectory -Server “Ex2013_CAS_server” | set-OWAvirtualdirectory -windowsAuthentication $False -BasicAuthentication $True -FormsAuthentication $True
Then perform iisreset and try to access OWA again.
Best Regards.

Exchange 2013 LED=441 4.4.1 Error encountered when trying to communicate with primary IP address

Hello,
Im running Exchange 2013 on Server 2012R2, and all has been fine for a while until some users complained that ome of there external recipients are not receiving their mails. if I look in the mail que I indeed see the messages stuck with the comment:
[{LRT=14-4-2015 14:36:14};{LED=441 4.4.1 Error encountered while communicating with primary target IP addre
ss: "Failed to connect. Winsock error code: 10013, Win32 error code: 10013." Attempted failover to alternat
e host, but that did not succeed. Either there are no alternate hosts, or delivery failed to all alternate
hosts.
Initially i thought it might had to do with the PTR but I checked and the reverse lookup is fine, also the mail server ip's are not blacklisted. I've tried every suggestion on all forums I could find from changing MTU sizes to disabling TLS but nothing seems
to work the majority of the mail goes out just fine but to a couple of domains it doesn't any input would be greatly appreciated.
I have only the internal DNS server configured on the NIC, only one NIC is available and OWA, Outlook and Activesync clients work just fine.

http://public.wsu.edu/~brians/errors/their.html
If this is happening when you try to send to several domains, then I suggest you might be blacklisted or otherwise being considered a spam source.
Do you have an SPF record? Is your IP address in a blacklisted range?

we are not using the EOP created domain "XXXX.onmicrosoft.com" for anything.
Technically speaking, do we require
"Windows Azure Active Directory Sync tool" to be installed and synchronizing all our AD to the EOP!
Thanks,

The Windows Azure Active Directory Sync Tool allows you to filter mail in EOP for nonexistent recipients. This is a pretty useful antispam feature that you'll be forgoing if you choose not to deploy the tool.

[Exchange 2013] Cannot find Template User object error

Hello,
I've faced with really strange issue. When I try to execute cmdlet Get-Recipient for user from @hotmail.com, @outlook.com and @live.com domains I get error "Cannot find Template User", even SilentlyContinue is used.
Let me show an example. Open PowerShell and load exchange snapin:
[PS] C:/>Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.Exchange.Management.Powershell.E2010
[PS] C:/>$existingContact = Get-Recipient [email protected] -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
Cannot find Template User object.
At line:1 char:1
+ Get-Recipient [email protected] -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [], ADTransientException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : [Server=CAS15-CA-1,RequestId=5cfa31f1-96d5-43c2-8c98-ea50d108276f,TimeStamp=10/24/2014 1
:38:08 PM] [FailureCategory=Cmdlet-ADTransientException] EC4D1948
It works well for others domains (e.g. gmail.com), besides it works well for Exchange 2010. And finally it works well in Exchange Management shell.
What does the error mean? Why Get-Recipient doesn't work only for Microsoft's domains?
Thanks in advance!

I have seen a lot of weird errors and sometimes incomplete results when manually adding the Exchange Snappin into powershell. Exchange 2010+ is setup for remote powershell, so if your on the server then use the exchange shell which will do all the remoting
for you, or you can setup the remote session your self.

If the above solutions doesn't work, try moving the certificate with the thumbprint identified in the error, to the Trusted Root Certification Authority folder

Windows 8 - Activation Error: 0xC004F074 and 4 things that do not fix it

OK, bought a used laptop with dual boot Win7x64 / Win8Prox64 in Feb. 2013. Windows 8 booted up and ran just fine for the first six months. I don't
know if it had anything to do with it, but I installed Office 13 in the Windows 8 partition not long ago, and it seems that after that Windows 8 kept issuing pleas to "activate windows" (but no complaints from Office 13, which is a HUP installation
from my work). On the bottom right side of the screen it now says Windows Pro 8 Build 9200, and on top of that is the light gray plea to (re) activate Windows. There have been no hardware changes to the laptop.
Finally got annoyed enough this weekend to try to resolve it, without success. Here are the four methods I tried, and the results:
Attempt 1:
go to Control Panel > search Windows Activation > choose Windows Activation
Response:
Windows isn’t activated
Windows can’t be activated right now. Try activating Windows later. If this issue persists, contact your system administrator or technical support department for assistance.
[Activate button]
Activation details
Error Code:
0xC004F074
The Software Licensing Service reported that the product could not be activated. No Key Management Service (KMS) could be contacted. Please see the Application Event Log for additional information.
Pressing the [Activate] button gets you the same response over and over.
Attempt 2:
Open the command window as an administrator -
CMD (run as administrator) slmgr.vbs –ipk XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX (where
this is the 25 character key for Windows 8 Pro)
Response:
Installed product key XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX successfully.
Next -
CMD (run as administrator) slmgr.vbs –ato
Response:
Activating Windows(R), Professional edition
Error: 0xC004F074 The Software Licensing Service reported that the computer could not be activated. No Key Management Service (KMS) could be contacted. Please see the Application Event Log for additional information.
Attempt 3:
Open the command window as an administrator -
CMD (run as administrator) SLUI 3
Response:
Enter a product key to activate Windows
(enter product key)
Your product key works! Continue when you’re ready
press [Activate]
Get same 0xC004F074 error code
Attempt 4:
Open the command window as an administrator -
CMD (run as administrator) SLUI 4
Response:
Find available phone numbers for activation
Click the nearest location:
Afghanistan
[Afghanistan is greyed out and you cannot select any other country]
Click on Next, and get a non-toll free number in Afghanistan to call.
Attempt 5:
CMD (run as admistrator) sfc /scannow
No errors reported.
PLEASE Tell Me WHAT CAN I DO KNOW.
IT always shutdown automatically sometimes after that.
PLEASE REPLY ASAP
thanks,

Hi,
It sounds like your computer is trying to access a KMS server for some reason. Are you sure you installed a MAK-key on your computer?
For further troubleshooting regarding eventual KMS-issues, please give us (masked of course) the output from the command 'SLMGR.vbs /dlv'
