Even I found the same issue once, and then I realised that the SP and RU should be same in exchange sever and the machine where the issue is.
Could you please check the same if that  machine has the same Sp and RU, if not, please upgrade the same? I bet it will start working

  • Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard "Certificate Authority Service" / Exchange Server 2010 EMC not starting and no AD connectivity for authentication.

    Hello,
    I am a new IT Manager at this company and need assistance big time. Their environment looks as follows:
    Server 1. Domain Controller Server (Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard) running active directory.
    Server 2. Email Server (Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard) running Exchange Server 2010 .
    * Note. No back ups to work with aside from whats mentioned below.
    DC had a virus infection causing a lot of issues on the shared network drives 2 days ago locking up all the files with a crypto ransom virus. Running Avast suppressed the infection. Had to recover the file shares which luckily had a back up. 
    The issue is that the Exchange Server 2 post this lost connectivity with the AD Server 1. Exchange Server 2 when launching EMC could not launch the console stating the following:
    "No Exchange servers are available in any Active Directory sites. You can’t connect to remote
    Powershell on a computer that only has the Management Tools role installed."
    Shortly after I found that it is possible the EMC launcher was corrupt and needed to be reinstalled following another blog post. I deleted the exchange management console.msc  per instructions only to discover I couldnt relaunch it because there was
    no way how. So I copied another msc file that happened to be on the DC Server 1  back to Exchange Server 2 and got it to launch again. 
    Another post said that it might be an issue with the Domain Account for the Computer, so to delete it in the AD Server 1 only to find that rejoining it from Exchange Server 2 using Computer>Properties> Chage Settings > Change is greyed out because
    it is using the Certificate Authority Service.
    I tried manually re-adding the computer in AD and modeling permissions after another server in group settings but no go. After this I was unable to login to the Exchange Server 2 with domain accounts but only local admin, receiving the following Alert:
    "The Trust Relationship between this workstation and primary domain failed."
    I tried running the Power Shell tools on Exchange Server 2 to rejoing and to reset passwords for domain accounts as noted in some other blogs but no luck as the Server 2 could not make the connection with Server1 or other errors it kept spitting out.
    I also during the investigation found the DNS settings were all altered on both the Server 1 and Server 2 which I luckily was able to change back to original because of inventorying it in the beginning when I started. 
    I need help figuring out if I need to rejoin the Exchange Server 2 manually by disabling the Certificate Authority Service (or removing the CA as listed here:
    https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/exchange/en-US/fb23deab-0a12-410d-946c-517d5aea7fae/windows-server-2008-r2-with-certificate-authority-service-to-rejoin-domain?forum=winserversecurity
    and getting exchange server to launch again. (Mind you I am relatively fresh to server managing) Please help E-Mail has been down for a whole day now!

  • KB953804 for delegatesentitemsstyle in Outlook 2003 in combination with Exchange Server 2010 SP1 not working.

    KB953804 Full  title  "Hotfix for An e-mail message does not appear in a user's mailbox if the e-mail message was sent on behalf of the user by a delegate in Outlook 2003." 
    We have this working for ok Outlook 2003 SP3 in combination with Exchange Server 2003 SP2.  Now for mailboxes that are moved to our new Exchange 2010 environment the hotfix stopped working. The sent items get stuck in the outbox of the delegate instead
    of moving to the user in whose name the mail was sent. It does not matter if the user mailbox is on 2003 or 2010 as long as the delegated user is on Exchange 2010 SP1 it fails. We use Outlook 2003 SP3 in online mode.  Does anyone know how to fix this
    or maybe someone knows an alternative way to move the mails to the sent items with Exchange2010 SP1.

    Hi,
    I'd like to know how did you set "send on behalf",from outlook give delegation permission or from Exchange Server give "send as" right?
    Please try to use get-adpermission to verify if the user has "send as" right.
    Manage Send As Permissions for a Mailbox
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb676368.aspx
    Note: After you grant send as right, please try to restart Microsoft Information Store.
    By the way, do you receive any NDR or error information when you send on behalf of others?

  • Application server control console not opening

    Hi all,
    I have installed oracle XE,oracle application server10.1.3.1.0 and Oracle Business Intelligence. But now when i try to Application server control page i get a http 404 error. I have also changed the default-web-site.xml file and set its ohs-routing to "true". Even then it is not working. Moreover i do not find any services for application service in the windows services. Please help me solve this. It is very important and urgnent.
    Thanks in advance..

    Hi,
    I assume this is OAS 1013x.
    Be default the em application is enabled only for home.
    + check the status of the application with opmnctl status -app
    + Ensure that the ascontrol application is deployed in the container and its up. If not deploy it and check whether <web-app application="ascontrol" name="ascontrol" load-on-startup="true" root="/em" /> is added in default-web-site.xml
    Hope this helps
    Thanks

  • Exchange Server 2010 SP3 Databases are not mounting after the recovery process

    Hi,
    We are using Exchange server 2010 SP3 in our office. Databases are stored in an ISCSI drive mapped with the exchange. We are taking daily full backup of my Exchange server using Symantec Backup exe 2012. As a testing purpose I created a test environment
    same like my existing live environment to check the disaster recovery and backup. Thankfully disaster recovery worked well and I am able to open the exchange management console and powershell. But I am not able to mount the recovered databases ending
    with an error saying "Couldn't mount the database that you specified. Specified database: officialrecover; Error code:
    An Active Manager operation failed.........." and even I am not able to use the utility eseutil.exe to the database with an error "access to source database failed with jet error 1811". I am able to create a new database and mount
    it.
    I am using Windows Server Ent 2008 R2 64 Bit with Exchange Server 2010 SP3 in the Live environment with 3 partitions called C (279 GB), E (4.46 TB, ISCSI), F (976 GB) in my Live environment.
    For test it is Windows Server Ent 2008 R2 64 Bit with Exchange Server 2010 SP3 with 3 partitions C (240 GB), E (1.4 TB), & F (240 GB).
    Please help me with your valid comments to solve and mount the database and close the issue for ever.
    With Regards
    Jay

    Jared is correct that in essence the message is saying the DB cannot be found.
    When you restored to your recovery server are all the paths the same, i.e. if the DB existed on E:\XYZ on the production server it must be the same on the recovery server
    When you restored into the recovery site do you have AD restored into that site as well?
    For the recovery server are you using iSCSI storage for it as well?   If so am I correct to assume that you have copies of the databases just for use on this server and are not trying to reference the same instance of the DB from the production
    and test/recovery server?
    I have also seen an issue where DB's getting written to disk from Symantec mess up the header of the DB.  If you want to validate that the DB is actually intact and accessible you might want to check out our DigiScope product
    http://www.lucid8.com/product/digiscope.asp using a free DEMO license.  If it works i.e. you are able to mount in DigiScope from same location where its failing on the recovery server we know the
    DB your pointing at is good and accessible from the current path but something else is amiss in your configuration
    Search, Recover, & Extract Mailboxes, Folders, & Email Items from Offline Exchange Mailbox and Public Folder EDB's and Live Exchange Servers or Import/Migrate direct from Offline EDB to Any Production Exchange Server, even cross version i.e. 2003 -->

  • Event logs fails to start on Exchange Server 2010

    My Exchange server 2010 R2 SP1 Enterprise single server is down.  All exchange services fail to start.  It appears like the Microsoft Exchange Active Directory Topology service isn't starting which is a dependency for all other services.
    The error I get when trying to start this service is:
    Windows could not start the Microsoft Exchange Active Directory Topology on Local Computer.  For more information, review the System Event Log.  If this is a non-Microsoft service, contact the service vendor, and refer to service-specific error code
    -2147024882
    To make matters worse, the event viewer is not starting either.
    When trying to start the Windows Event Log, I get the error:
    Windows could not start the Windows Event Log service on Local Computer. Displays Error code 5
    This is running on a Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 Standard box.
    Any assistance is appreciated.

    When trying to start the Windows Event Log, I get the error:
    Windows could not start the Windows Event Log service on Local Computer. Displays Error code 5
    Hi,
    Based on this error, this problem happens if any of the following conditions are true:
    The built-in security group EventLog does not have permissions on the folder %SystemRoot%\System32\winevt\Logs
    The Local Service account does not have default permissions on the following registry key: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Reliability
    To solve this problem, we need to restore the default permissions in the list below on %SystemRoot%\System32\winevt\logs.
    Authenticated user - List folder/read data, Read attributes, Read Extended attributes, Read permissions
    Administrators - Full control
    SYSTEM - Full control
    EventLog - Full control
    Please try the following methods:
    Method 1
    To restore the default permissions on folder %SystemRoot%\System32\winevt\logs, follow these steps.
    Right-click on %SystemRoot%\System32\winevt\logs and select Properties.
    Select the Security tab.
    Click Edit button and click the Add button in the permissions dialog box.
    In Select users, computers, or Groups dialog box ensure that under object types Built in Security Principals and the location as local computer name is selected.
    Enter the object name as "NT SERVICE\EventLog" without quotes. And click OK. This group should have full control on the folder.
    Once EventLog group is added add the rest of the groups with above mentioned permissions.
    Method 2
    Identify a Windows Server 2008 machine with default permissions.
    Click Start, and then type cmd in the Start Search box.
    In the search results list, right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as Administrator.
    When you are prompted by User Account Control, click Continue.
    Type the command CD %SystemRoot%\SYSTEM32.
    Once the working directory is changed to %SystemRoot%\SYSTEM32 type the command icacls winevt\* /save acl /T.
    This will save a file named ACL in %SystemRoot%\SYSTEM32. Copy this file to the C: drive on the problem computer.
    On the problem computer, open command prompt with administrator privileges (refer to previous steps 1-3).
    Change the working directory to %SystemRoot%\SYSTEM32.
    Execute the command icacls winevt\ /restore acl.
    Default permissions on the registry key HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Reliability should be:
    CREATOR OWNER - Full control
    SYSTEM - Full control
    LOCAL SERVICE - Query Value, Set Value, Create Subkey, Notify and Delete
    Administrators - Full control
    Users - Read
    To set the permission on this registry key:
    Click the Start menu, select Run and type Regedit.
    Go to the location HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Reliability.
    From the Edit menu click Permissions.
    Add the permissions for the accounts as listed above.
    In addition, Exchange 2010 SP1 and SP2 are end of support.

  • SCOM 2012 R2 & Exchange Server 2010 SP3 - Mailbox services not monitored

    Having done everything depicted in Exchange Server 2010 MP I still have trouble with some Exchange services - they are in not monitored state (five days passed):
    Mailbox All Database Services - Default-First-Site-Name
    Mailbox Database Service - Management - test.local
    Mailbox Database Service - PublicFolders - test.local
    Mailbox Database Service - Users - test.local
    Mailbox Many Database Service - Default-First-Site-Name
    OfflineAddressBook Service - Default-First-Site-Name
    Why is this happening? Since monitoring exchange mailbox databases is one of the most important tasks SCOM should be doing I assume something wrong is going on here. However there are no errors or alerts in SCOM console nor in OpsMgr
    log on Exchange server itself.

    Hi There,
    Did you install the Microsoft Exchange monitoring correletion service while importing the Exchange 2010 management pack ?
    Does your MS have RMS Emulator role ? As many alerts in the Exchange 2010 MP are targetted to Root management server class.
    Also did you configure Test mailboxex and stuff post Exchange 2010 Import ?
    Did you analyse the Ops manager Event logs in the MS and Agent ? Can you post the critical and Warnign events here.
    Also is Agent proxy enabled ?
    Also is the Action account of the Agents System or Domain account ?
    Also refer: http://blogs.catapultsystems.com/jcowan/archive/2013/03/26/opsmgr-2012-and-2007-exchange-server-2010-monitoring-management-pack-how-to-perform-the-optional-configurations-for-synthetic-transactions-and-kerberos-authentication.aspx

  • Exchange Server 2010 - OWA, ECP, EWS not working

    Hello,
    I am evaluating exchange server 2010. I was able to install it, but now the admin websites will not render in IIS.  OWA, ECP, etc. I especially want Outlook Anywhere to work.  I can admin through the windows admin interface so that's not a concern.
     I want users to access their email through the web as well.  I checked permissions but could have them wrong. Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks
    John Grace

    There are about twenty different types of 403 error. To see which one is happening here, you'd need to look at the IIS log files, and get the status subcode, which is the number after the 403 in the logged line.
    The most common, though, is 403.4, which means 'SSL Required'.  What happens if you go to
    https://servername (i.e. https instead of http).
    Another one is 403.6, which means that IIS has been configured to only allow access to a certain range of IP address, and the one you're trying to access it from isn't one of them.

  • Exchange Server 2010: Incoming mail not delivered

    I have an Exchange Server 2010 Standard with all recent patches and updates. 
    -It has been in service for 3 years without any issues. 
    -There is plenty of hard drive space for the logs and the data (over 100GB in each)
    -The current size of the mail database is 150GB
    -There is no registry entry in place limiting the size of the database ([url="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb232092.aspx"]Database Size Limit in GB as outlined here[/url]
    Starting a few days ago, incoming mail is reaching the server but not being delivered to user mailboxes. Internal mail works fine when this happens. Looking at the Queue Viewer doesn't show anything abnormal. The Submission Queue shows nothing.  
    It is only after I reboot the Exchange Server that the Submission queue will show all the messages waiting to be delivered and they will all be delivered successfully after the reboot. The event logs do not show any error messages.
    The server will continue to run fine for a few hours and then the problem starts all over again.
    What could be causing this?

    Any 3rd party antivirus/anti-spam software installed on the server? If so, disable and test.

  • Exchange Server 2010 - Authentication fails with DC

    I have implemented Windows Server 2008 R2 Active Directory on Server: DC1
    I have Implemented Exchange Server 2010 SP2 on Server: EMLSERVER
    Previously MDeamon 5.5 was using for Messaging Services.
    Manager told me he want only email server to be available after office hours.
    For Exchange Server 2010 we have to power on two servers AD and EXCH.
    For This reason i install AD on Exchange Server 2010 and Transfer all Roles from DC1 to EMLSERVER.
    Now EMLSERVER is our AD and EXCH, and DC1 is our ADC.
    To check this configuration i power off current ADC old DC (DC1).
    when i try to test OWA, it was not working, and i get HTTP 500 Error, i try to troubleshoot it and finally after enabling Form Based Authentication Service HTTP 500 error has been resolved and i get OWA Page there when i try to Authenticate with Username
    and Password i have got  HTTP 400 error and i am sucked now.
    Can anyone suggest what should i do now.

    The Requirement is that I have to provide a solution that is equivalent to MDeamon 5.5, where Company have just one DC which is use for authentication and group policy on Windows and another server which is MDeamon email server.
    After office hours they power off DC and just email server is power on.
    Therefore new solution must fulfill the same requirement, and in this scenario I have to put DC and Email together so that there is no power overhead.
    1- Yes new DC which is together with Exchange is Global Catalog.
    2- All Microsoft Exchange services are running.
    3- There is no smart card authentication, there is just User/Pass require to authenticate.
    4- Old DC/ Current ADC has been powered off after verifying transfer of all AD roles.
    5- Previously I have installed DC on DC1 server and Exchange 2010 on EMLSERVER and it was working fine.

  • SBS 2003 to 2011 Migration - Exchange Server 2010 cannot be installed

    I should add that the source server's AD configuration might not be perfect due to this being the second attempt at a SBS 2011 migration install.
    I'd be grateful for any help I can get on this as SBS migration has been plauged with multiple setbacks already. I really need to get this done! ;)
    Thanks,
    Voon

    Thank you Larry and Al for your replies.
    I used the 'official' migration
    guide plus this page (http://www.techieshelp.com/step-by-step-guide-to-migrating-to-sbs-2011/)
    as my migration references. The SBS migration prep tool gave no errors on the source server when I ran it.
    I have a full system drive image plus a a system state backup from before migration. Though I am very loathed to rollback the migration and attempt a new one - again. I will do some searching to see if I can resolve the Exchange server problem and continue
    the migration/installation. If not, then its a system state restore for me. One of Al's links had a resource for doing a thorough check of AD - which something I'd run if I have to another migration attempt.
    I am also really tempted to open up a paid MS support ticket for them to help me fix this problem. :)

  • Trouble Connecting iPad and iPhone to Exchange Server 2010

    Exchange Server 2010.
    I have found some online instructions for connecting iPhones and iPods (or iPads) to Exchange Server 2010 using activesync.  I enter all the information as I understand it (the same info used to successful connect Droids), and I do not get an error
    until I try to sync (retrieve mail) the first time.  Then it says, "The connection to the server failed."
    In the instructions I follwed it has this statement, "Before we get started, please be sure your administartor has purchased you an Activesync license and assigned to
    your email address."  What the heck does this mean and how can I accomplish it?  I know activesync is working.  So why do I need a "license"? 
    Any help will be appreciated.
