Exchange 2013 Managed Availability: ProcessIsolation HealthSet unhealthy.
In env with 2 CAS and 3 MB Servers, all 2013 CU3, the ProcessIsolation healthset is market as Unhealthy. Here is the result from the monitor:
< Message > Maintenance workitem "Process.Isolation.Maintenance.Workitem" (ID: 64) has failed. Health Manager has detected it is either set to run once and failed, or has been failing consistently. Maintenance workitem failure could cause
monitoring gap and should be investigated. The error message from the last result is: workitem completed with result: TimedOut ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- States of all monitors within the health set: Note:
Data may be stale....<Result from Get-HealthReport here>.........
Note: Subsequent detected alerts are suppressed until the health set is healthy again. </ Message >
Using get-serverhealth I can see that "ProcessIsolation\MaintenanceFailureMonitor.ProcessIsolation\" is Unhealthy.
I cannot find any documentation regarding this Healthset. How should I investigate this?
Hi,
Is there any related error message in the Application log?

Connect to Exchange 2007 Mailboxes with Exchange 2013 Management shell
Hello,
I was wondering if it is possible to use the Exchange 2013 Management Shell with the older version of Exchange 2007. When I run the console now it give me an error saying no exchange servers are available in the Active Directory site. When I use Exchange
management shell for 2007 the errors do not appear. Wondering if the management shell is backwards compatible.
Thanks,No. your management shell MUST be the same roll-up version of exchange. I have applied updates and learned the hard way to block all updates that go beyond the server version you are
running.

To this end, you can use the same installation media that was used to install your Exchange server "Provided you are hosting your own", just install the management console instead of the whole thing, -

To install the Exchange 2013 Management Tools, there are many prerequisites we need to understand before installation. And even
we must manually install some required software.

It should work.
Did you install the tool by GUI or cmd?
Please select "Automatically install Windows Server roles and features that are required to install Exchange Server" to have the Setup wizard install required Windows prerequisites.
If possible, please try to install the tool on Windows 7/8 client to test.

[PS] C:\Windows\system32>Hi wert
Thank you for your question.
We could run Set U to make sure the logon user is domain administrator, because we use another account logon without any problems. We could check if some permissions are missing for administrator.
We could refer to the following steps to delete administrator profile to check if the issue persist:
Open up "Control Panel | System and Security | System"
In the dialog click on "Advanced system settings" (requires Admin rights)
The "System Properties" dialog will be displayed
Make sure you are in the "Advanced" register
In the "User Profiles" section click on "Settings"
The "User Profiles" dialog is displayed
Select administrator account and Delete it.
If there are any questions regarding this issue, please be free to let me know.
Best Regard,
Jim

Exchange 2013 CU7 server performance/outage issues.
Hi Forum,
We are constantly faced with incidents from users that the connections are lost with the exchange server. As a result, we hired a consultant to install an new Exchange 2013 environment based on the Microsoft, VM-Ware and NetApp best practices.
We are still having problems with performance issues. From the client prospective, the performance has not changed, weekly hangs are still happening and I’m at my wits end.
This is our configuration:
2 Windows Server 2012 R2 CAS and DB
VM with 4 vCpu, 16GB, 1 Vmxnet3, IPv6 disabled (the Microsoft way)
VM Ware 5.1 U1
Cluster without AAP
DB1 active on Server 1 (Datacenter 1 with 3 host cluster)
DB2 active on Server 2 (Datacenter 2 with 3 host cluster)
Veeam 8 Backup (Move-ActiveMailboxDatabase DB2 -ActivateOnServer Server1 , backup server 2 then Move-ActiveMailboxDatabase back to
Server2.
Exchange is in Online-Mode due to Citrix XD VDI clients.
1300 Mailboxes and 750 users.
NetApp with SATA disks. (1.5TB E: Vol for DB1/1.5TB F: Vol for DB2)
No archiving
Unlimited mailbox sizes.
The problems are:
If we migrate a non-Exchange VM in the same cluster or to\from the same host, this results in a 30 second to 5 min Outlook outage;
If we make both DB’s active on mail server 1 and reboot server 2, this results in a 30 second to 5 min Outlook outage;
If we make both DB’s active on mail server 1 and do a Veeam backup of server 2, sometimes one of the DB’s go back to server 1, on its own;
While monitoring we see that the w3wp.exe and the Microsoft.Exchange.Store.worker.exe are consuming most of the cpu and memory;
What can I do to solve the outages?
Tnx. Timotatty.

Tnx. Timotatty.Hi Simon,<o:p></o:p>
Apparently we are using basic authentication which result in a FailingCode=401 as seen in the Event Log under Active Monitoring --> Probe Results from ECP and others. This
became apparent after reading this blog:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/ehlro/archive/2014/02/20/exchange-2013-managed-availability-healthset-troubleshooting.aspx<o:p></o:p>
We are now overriding some of the monitors which require Forms Based Authentication.<o:p></o:p>
Regarding the other 2 issues we have changed the licensing model for Veeam 8 to allow full throughput which will reduce the backup time and add compression.
The KEMP support team helped us by deselecting Use HTTP/1.1 under View/Modify Services --> ECP –> Modify --> Real Servers. This
now only flags a service (ECP or ActiveSync or OWA) as being down instead of an etire server should one component fail.<o:p></o:p>
I am satisfied but still not happy with the steps required to troubleshoot an Unhealthy Health Sets:<o:p></o:p>
Invoke-MonitoringProbe always returns with: WARNING: Could not find assembly or object type associated with monitor identity '<Healthe Set >\< Probe >'. Please ensure
that the given monitor identity exists on the server.
This makes it very difficult to troubleshoot
Unhealthy Health Sets.

Exchange 2013 Get-ServerHealth NotApplicable
Hi All,
I have a new installation of Exchange 2013. SCOM monitoring in place.
I'v noticed that a lot of errors showing on SCOM regarding the HealtSet is showing unhealthy.
But what is strange to me is that when I run Get-ServerHealth I see that the HealtSets that are showing as unhealthy are also in state
NotApplicable.
What does NotApplicable mean, and why is it event in unhealthy state if its not applicable?
Thanks,
ZarkoHi,
There is no official document explaining the state "NotApplicable" currently.
To troubleshoot health set issue, here is a related blog for your reference.

Exchange Server 2013 Management Pack - not reporting Operations Manager 2012
Hi,
We've installed the Exchange 2013 Management Pack into SCOM2012 but nothing seems to be reporting back. There nothing in Organization Status or Server Health.
The Agent is installed on the Exchange Server. There are Event ID's on the Exchange server of 20070; 21006 & 21016
The server itself is showing as Healthy under Agent Managed.
Is there any other configuration that needs to be done on either SCOM or the Exchange Server?
Thanks
StephenHi Stephen,
Have you figured out how to get the management pack working on your environment?
While I was doing some maintenance on exchange, I've restarted the server and then restarted SCOM monitoring agent service and it worked.
I know that this isn't a fix but it's how to got it working...
Hope this help -
Hello All,
I recently installed SCOM 2012 R2 and have installed the Exchange 2013 management packs however there does not seem to be any good reports that are included with this management pack. I was wondering if anybody has an tutorials on creating a exchange
specific report. The basic criteria would be cpu usage, memory usage, hard drive space, up time, and any relevant exchange metrics.Hi,
There are no performance counters collected by this Management Pack: the monitoring does cover any performance issue that might arise, leveraging Exchange Managed Availability.
However, all Exchange PerfMon counters are still available. It should be simple to create your own performance collection rules, if you do require them.
There are no reports in this Management Pack: you can still use some of the built-in Operations Manager reports (such as the Health and Availability reports) to track organization availability, or define SLAs against the Organization.
In addition, I would like to suggest you go through the link below to get more details about Exchange 2013 MP, we should be able to see CPU and Memory performance from the MP:

Hi.
We got strange issue with Exchange 2013 MP. Some components in DAG are in state "Not monitoring". For example:
"Exchange 2013 Service Components" on DAG members not motitored:
Mailbox Count in organization is null:
And DAG object is in the "Not monitored" state too.
MP was installed as described in documentation (account, profile, etc.).
Proxy on DAG members enabled.
Any ideas how to troubleshoot this issue?
P.S. MP - 15.0.665.19, Exchange - CU6Hi,
I would like to suggest you recheck Exchange 2013 Management Pack Pre-requisites and Considerations.
Before importing the Exchange 2013 MP into System Center Operations Manager, there are some pre-requisites that have to be met:
You have one of the following versions of System Center Operations Manager deployed in your organization:
System Center Operations Manager 2012 RTM or later
System Center Operations Manager 2007 R2 or later
You have already deployed SCOM agents to your Exchange Servers.
The SCOM agents on your Exchange Servers are running under the local system account.
The SCOM agents on your Exchange Servers are configured to act as a proxy and discover managed objects on other computers.
If you are monitoring Exchange Server 2013 Database Availability Groups (DAGs), ensure that all DAG members are monitored by Operations Manager.
You may refer to the link below for more details:

Import Calendar Entries to Exchange 2013 Causes Outlook Calendar View Problems
Today I was working on a way to import company holidays for 2014 into people's calendars. We're running Exchange 2013. Most users have Outlook 2010, but I'm on the bleeding edge with Outlook 2013.
The best method I found online for adding events to everyone's calendar involved creating a calendar in a PST file that contained all of the company holidays and then using the Exchange 2013 Management Shell to import the PST file into people's calendars.
I created the calendar in a PST using Outlook 2013. Each holiday is an all day appointment. I then used the management shell to import those appointments into my calendar. Outlook was running when I ran the import.
After the import completed, I went to look at my calendar and Outlook 2013 crashed. I restarted it, clicked on my calendar and it crashed again. After some digging, I found a suggestion that I start Outlook with /cleanviews. That seems
to have corrected the problem. All appointments appear as expected. Well, that was ugly. But I'm the only one on Outlook 2013 right now, so it's not a showstopper.
I then found a victim running Outlook 2010 for my next import experiment. Outlook 2010 didn't crash. But the calendar view did reset to a list view instead of whatever the user was running before. Strange... I ran the test again with
another person and was able to reproduce the result. All appointments are present, but Outlook feels the need to change views?
Does anyone have a suggestion for how to import these appointments without the calendar view being reset? I don't want to think about all the support calls we're going to get when people's calendar view gets changed to a list view.
Thanks
PatrickHi Patrick,
Is the use able to change the calendar view manually? Please check whether all calendar items are in list view both in OWA and Outlook? Please try to import the PST file from Outlook side to check whether the issue persists.
Thanks,
Winnie Liang

Migrating from 2010 windows nlb cas array to exchange 2013 using netscaler for HLB
i currently have exchange 2010 sp3 setup as follows
2 cas/ht using windows nlb for array.internal.com as the nlb name
2 mailbox servers using 1 dag for replication between them.
I would like to stand up 2 new CAS 2013 sp1 servers(2012 r2) and use our netscaler hlb to load balance and do ssl offloading.
id like to use the hlb to load balance and ssl offload all possible traffic not just owa, i.e. activesync etc.
the netscaler is running version 10.5.
does anyone have any thoughts on how to perform such a migration?
id like to make this as seamless as possible for the user, so no owa name change or anything like that.
thx in advance for any help.Exchange 2013 CAS cannot be managed effectively without an Exchange 2013 mailbox server since the CAS won't run the Exchange 2013 management tools without it. Your Exchange 2013 servers should simply have both roles. There are few cases where
splitting the roles has any business value.
If what you're planning to do is within the same forest and organization, then it's a "transition", not a "migration". What you are asking to do is easy. Build the Exchange 2013 servers, configure load balancing, test
access, and then switch the DNS records to point to them.
Personally, I would skip the SSL offloading. It's my opinion that it makes the solution more difficult to troubleshoot without providing any real benefit.

MT Exchange 2013 and Public Folder Limits
So having some real trouble trying to digest this data from a multi-tenant perspective.
Total public folders in hierarchy
10,000
Although you can create more than 10,000 public folders, it isn’t supported. Create
a Public Folder
Sub-folders under the parent folder
10,000
Although you can create more than 10,000 sub-folders under a parent folder, it isn’t supported.FolderHierarchyChildrenCountReceiveQuota parameter on the Set-Mailbox cmdlet.
So if my hierarchy consists of root folders 0-9,A-Z. Then below those top levels I place tenant domain level folders. Then below that I actually have folders for tenant data. Which of the above category applies? Sub-folders under
the parent folder is somewhat misleading? Does that mean in my above scenario I would only have 36 "parent" folders then would be able to have a total of 10k subfolders under those parents?
Or does it effectively mean 10k folders, that is all. One parent folder and 9,999 sub-folders? Or some combination of the two?
I had very high expectations for the redesigned public folders with incorporation into the DAG, but this solution seems MUCH less scalable and flexible then the legacy design. Additionally the recommendation of 2k concurrent users per PF mailbox, with
a max number of PF mailboxes at 100 effectively sets an org limit of 200k total mailboxes.
I can't help but feel this is just another nail in the coffin of non O365 Exchange resellers.Hi,
Based on my research, the public folder size can be up to 100GB in the hosted Exchange 2013 environment:
http://www.wisnet.com/blog/hosted-exchange-2013-is-available-now/
As long as the total number is beyond the limit, we can at most have 100 public folder mailboxes ,10k public folders, 10k subfolders under one public folder and 200 concurrent users for one public folder mailboxes.
For more information about the public folders in Exchange 2013, you can refer to the following articles:
