Updating 2013 SP1 to CU8 Error - Set-SharedConfigDC Fails

I have two 2012 servers running Exchange 2013 SP1. They are both multi-role servers and are members of a DAG and are also load-balanced behind a Citrix Netscaler. I was ready to begin moving my mailboxes from 2010 to 2013 when I ran into a problem. In order
to try and resolve this problem, I attempted to update to CU8.
(After a successful mailbox move, I am unable to open my own mailbox in Outlook (2013 or 2010). I receive an error that "the set of folders cannot be opened". I am, however, able to view my mailbox from another migrated mailbox which has "full
access" to it. After some unsuccessful attempts to figure it out, I decide that I should probably update Exchange to the latest before I start messing with other things. Bad mistake.)
The CU8 setup fails in the Set-SharedConfigDC step with the error "No Minimal Required Number of Suitable Directory Servers Found in Forest".
I've read that I need IPv6 enabled. It had previously been "unchecked" in the NIC settings of the Exchange and DC servers. I've enabled it on the Exchange server and two of the DCs one of which is a GC. No luck. I've also added the "Exchange
Servers" and "Exchange Subsystem" groups to the AD "Administrators" group which was another suggestion I received.
The DCs are in a different subnet from the Exchange server.  I am running at domain functional level of 2003.
And just to reiterate: I had successfully installed Exchange 2013 SP1 with IPv6 "unchecked" on all Exchange and DC servers before the CU8 update failed.
-edit- Here's the relevant section of the log:

That might have done it!  I've marked your response as the answer although I do have some follow-up questions below.
I added MinSuitableServer = "1" under the line MinPercentageOfHealthyDC = "50" in the file "microsoft.exchange.directory.topologyservice.exe.config" in the CU8 setup folders. The setup still failed so I then edited the same file
in the existing Exchange directory and then rebooted. Setup then finished.
I still have my other Exchange server to do. I will make the same NIC changes and the same config file changes before attempting to run setup. I assume I should move the active DAG copy to the server that finally updated before proceeding but should I be wary
since the exchange servers are now on different versions?
Is there any explanation as to why this might have happened? I just can't understand why the initial setup succeeded back in January while this CU failed...

    Exchange is currently running in the envirmonet on 2010 Sp3 I am installing 2013 CU7 fresh so I can migrate the databases over.
    What am I running?
    2 X DC on domain and forest functional level 2008R2 both writable
    1 X fresh install of Windows 2012 R2 which is domain joined
    What have I tried?
    Checked Ipv6 is enabled on all DC NICS and Existing Exchange Servers
    Rebooted every server
    Run setup as Administrator
    My account is part of the domain Enterprise Admin group
    Tried adding "Exchange Server" or "Exchange Enterprise Servers" to the group policy and doing the relevant gpupdate /force and reboot :
    Computer Configuration Windows Settings
    Security Settings + Local Policies
    User Rights Assignment Mange auditing and security log
    Turned off firewall on DC and Exchange Server even stopped the service
    Turned off all AV on the DC and Exchange Server
    Checked I could telnet to global catalog servers on port 3268 which I can
    Checked the global catalog records existed in DNS which they all do
    Done the obvious ping tests all round which confirms connectivity
    Schema has been prepared using appropriate commands before running the setup exe
    setup.exe /PrepareSchema /IacceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms
    Making sure the following path has full permissions:
    EXCHANGE14:\Current\Release\Shared\Datacenter\Setup
    Restarted Microsoft Exchange Active Directory Topology service
    DcDiag all looks good
    What have I noticed that is suspicious?
    Microsoft Exchange Transport service will not start even though both of its dependences services have started:
    Microsoft Filtering Management Service
    Microsoft Exchange Active Directory Topology Service
    It will eventually error with

  • Exchange 2013 SP1 RPC 404 Error Page Not Found

    Anyone got any ideas why on my Exchange 2013 SP1 server I am getting a 404 error when trying to access the RPC URL?
    I had a look in the CAS RPC logs and see the following HTTP POST events:
    <snip>

    </snip>
    This works fine in Exchange 2010 SP3 so I am wondering if maybe Microsoft have removed the /rpc url functionality in Exchange 2013 SP1?

    Hi JRA,
    Is it possible to provide more info for your issue?
    You receive as you said HTTP 404 error, can you provide the specific HTTP 404 error message?
    For example:
    HTTP/1.0 404 File Not Found
    HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found
    HTTP/1.0 404 Object Not Found
    HTTP/1.0 404 Page Cannot Be Found
    The page cannot be found. The page you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable
     Also a screenshot will be very helpful
    Regards,

    Hello CracKatoA
    Did you make some update before this error starts to occur? Or you have never compliled any VI on this computer.
    In case you have compiled any VI previously successfully on this computer, try to reinstall the LabVIEW FPGA module.
    You can also try the following knowledge base:

  • Seemingly successful install of Exchange 2013 SP1 turns into many errors in event logs after upgrade to CU7

    I have a new Exchange 2013 server with plans to migrate from my current Exchange 2007 Server. 
    I installed Exchange 2013 SP1 and the only errors I saw in the event log seemed to be long standing known issues that did not indicate an actual problem (based on what I read online). 
    I updated to CU7 and now lots of errors have appeared (although the old ones seem to have been fixed so I have that going for me). 
    Currently the Exchange 2013 server is not in use and clients are still hitting the 2007 server.
    Issue 1)
    After each reboot I get a Kernel-EventTracing 2 error.  I cannot find anything on this on the internet so I have no idea what it is.
    Session "FastDocTracingSession" failed to start with the following error: 0xC0000035
    I did read other accounts of this error with a different name in the quotes but still can’t tell what this is or where it is coming from.
    Issue 2)
    I am still getting 5 MSExchange Common 106 errors even after reregistering all of the perf counters per this page:

    skipped due to failure to open a store session. 0 mailboxes were retried. There are 0 mailboxes in this database remaining to be processed.
    Some research suggested this may be related to deleted mailboxes however I have never had any actual user mailboxes on this server. 
    If they are healthmailboxes or arbitration mailboxes that might make sense but I am unsure of what to do on this.

    Hi Eric
    Yes I have uninstalled and reinstalled Exchange 2013 CU7 for the 3<sup>rd</sup> time. 
    I realize you said one issue per forum thread but since I already started this thread with many issues I will at least post what I have discovered on them in case someone finds their way here from a web search.
    I have an existing Exchange 2007 server in the environment so I am unable to create email address policies that are defined by “recipient container”. 
    If I try and do so I get “You can't specify the recipient container because legacy servers are detected.”
     So I cannot create a normal email address policy and restrict it to an OU without resorting to some fancy filtering. 
    Instead what I have done is use PS to modify extensionAttribute1 (otherwise known as Custom Attribute 1 to exchange) for all of my users. 
    I then applied an address policy to them and gave it the highest priority. 
    Then I set a default email address policy for the entire organization. 
    After reinstalling Exchange all of my system mailboxes were created with the internal domain name. 
    So issue number 3 above has not come up. 
    For issue number one above I have created a new thread:
    https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/7eb12b89-ae9b-46b2-bd34-e50cd52a4c15/microsoftwindowskerneleventtracing-error-2-happens-twice-at-boot-ex2013cu7?forum=exchangesvrdeploy
    For issue number four I have posted to this existing thread where there is so far no resolution:
    https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/exchange/en-US/2343730c-7303-4067-ae1a-b106cffc3583/exchange-error-id-74-connection-leak-detected-for-key?forum=exchangesvradmin
    Issue number Five I have managed to recreate and get rid of in more than one way. 
    If I create a new database in ECP and set the database and log paths where I want, then this error will appear. 
    If I create the database in the default location and then use EMS to move it and set the log path, then the error will not appear. 
    The error will also appear (along with other errors) if I delete the health mailboxes and let them get recreated by restarting the server or the Health Manager service. 
    If I then go and set the retention period for deleted mailboxes to 0 days and wait a little while, these will all go away. 
    So my off hand guess is that these are caused by orphaned system mailboxes.
    For issue number six I have posted to this existing thread where there is so far no resolution:
    https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/exchange/en-US/dff62411-fad8-4d0c-9bdb-037374644845/event-1033-msexchangeactivesync-warning?forum=exchangesvrmobility
    So for the remainder of this thread we can try and tackle issue number two which is the perf counters. 
    The exact same 5 perf counter were coming up and this had been true each time I have uninstalled and reinstalled Exchange 2013CU7. 
    Actually to be more accurate a LOT of perf counter errors come up after the initial install, but reloading the perf counters using the script I posted above reduces it to the same five. 
    Using all of your suggestions so far has not removed these 5 remaining errors either.  Since there is no discernible impact other than these errors at boot I am not seriously bothered by them but as will all event log errors, I would prefer
    to make them go away if possible.

    Thanks and best regards,

    Hi,
    According to your post, I understand that install Exchange 2013 SP1 CU8 in a DAG with MBX role failed with error “Cmdlet failed. Cmdlet New-PerfCounters, parameters -DefinitionFileName ‘ADDriverCachePerformanceCounters.xml’”.
    If I misunderstand your concern, please do not hesitate to let me know.
    I want to double confirm whether you deploy clean install or implement upgrade an existing Exchange Server 2013 installation to Cumulative Update 8.
    To rebuild all Performance counters including extensible and third-party counters, type the following commands at an Administrative command prompt. Press ENTER after each command:
    1. Rebuilding the counters:
        cd c:\windows\system32
        lodctr /R
    2. Resyncing the counters with Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI):
        WINMGMT.EXE /RESYNCPERF
    3. Stop and restart the Performance Logs and Alerts service.
    4. Stop and restart the Windows Management Instrumentation service.
    If the issue persists, please run to reload all the perf counters. For your reference:

  • Windows Server 2012 R2 with Exchange Server 2013 SP1 Completely fresh install giving errors signing into EAC

    Hi,
    I am struggling with a completely clean installation of Server 2012 R2 and Exchange 2013 SP1.  I followed these steps:
    Installed Server OS
    Windows Updates
    Added Active Directory Role (This is a single standalone server that would have been SBS until it was dropped)
    Added DHCP & DNS
    Added Certificate Services
    Added Windows Server Update Services (WID Database & WSUS Services)
    Windows Updates
    Added Media Foundation
    Added File Server Resource Manager and Work Folders
    Added Windows Server Backup
    Windows Updates
    Checked all running without errors in Server Manager and performed a full bare bones backup.
    Ran Setup.exe from Exchange 2013 SP1 disc.
    Installed Pre-requisites and then rebooted
    Windows Updates
    Ran Setup.exe from Exchange 2013 SP1 disc.
    Installation completed without errors
    Rebooted
    Checked all running without errors in Server Manager.
    I Launch Exchange Administrative Center and get "problem with website's server certificate error" (normal on machine with self-assigned certificates).  Click Continue to Website and get:
    Windows Security dialog box:
    iexplore - "The server localhost is asking for your username and password.  The server reports that it is from Digest"
    however no username and password combination will work:  have tried [Administrator]; [Domain\Administrator] even created a user to no avail.
    I believe the issue is somewhere in the IIS configuration because I also get the same error when trying to log into the server website from either the server or another machine on the network.
    I have tried the complete installation three times now:  (full disclosure not all of the same features/roles each time).  On the first attempt I got this error immediately and on try number 2 was able to get into the EAC and created the mailboxes
    but then it started giving the same error.  The above steps are try number 3.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance.
    Andy Halford
    P.S. A Follow up which might be significant:  The Default Web Site is not running and will not start (it was previously running before the Exchange installation) and when I try I get the message that Another Website may be using the same port however none
    of the others (Exchange Back End or WSUS Administration) are using ports 80 or 443 and I still get the error when they are both stopped.

    Could you post the list of sites:
    appcmd list site

  • Exchange 2013 SP1 Installation Errors I Cannot Resolve

    Good Afternoon All -
    Note:  I updated this post an hour after posting.  Still no solution, but please see updated info at end of this post)
    I'm trying to introduce Exchange into an existing, small environment.  The server I'm trying to install it onto is an SBS 2011 server (single server.)  Even though SBS comes with Exchange, I found out that it's installation was corrupted and someone
    had attempted to uninstall it before.  Yes, it's being installed onto a server with a DC.  I considered creating a Hyper-V VM on the server for Exchange, but thought it may be better to try to install directly onto server instead.
    Before I started, I made sure all Exchange data had been removed.  I checked for and deleted (if present) all Exchange-related objects in ADSI, ADU&C, files, and registry entries.
    When I try to install Exchange 2013 SP1, I get the below errors.  I know that some are easily resolved by installing pre-requisites - however - others aren't - especially the pending reboot one.  I've restarted the server many times when making
    changes or applying various updates and still get flagged to restart during installation.  I've tried the SBS 2011 repair disc as well, but had many issues with it.  In all honesty, the whole server needs to be wiped and re-installed, but
    cannot do at this point.
    Besides the errors below, I've zipped up the ExchangeSetupLogs folder and placed them in the link below.  Also below are system specs.  The only edit I made in them is a find/replace for server and domain name.
    ExchangeSetupLogs Folder
    System Specs
    Xeon E31270 3.4Ghz
    16gb RAM
    Windows Server 2011 SBS x64 (Domain Controller Role Installed & Used)
    C:\ - RAID 1 = 500gb
    D:\ - SATA HDD = 320gb
    E:\ - SATA HDD = 320GB
    Should I perhaps try to install to a VM on the server or think that would use too many unnecessary resources?
    Any help would be appreciated - Thanks!

  • Exchange 2013 SP1 | Another HTTP 500.0.0 Error

    Help!
    We are in the middle of migrating from Exchange 2010 SP3 to Exchange 2013 SP1 and we are being plagued with HTTP 500 errors on every Exchange 2013 server now.
    I have two Client Access servers installed (EXCHFE01 & EXCHFE02) and one backend mailbox server (EXCHMB03) with the Client Access role also installed (for troubleshooting purposes). Once I get everything working I'll install two backend 2013 servers
    with the mailbox role only for production (load-balanced, clustered, etc). I still have two Exchange 2010 mailbox servers left since one has a single large mailbox left on it and the other hosts public folders. I'll get to migrating those later. All Exchange
    2013 servers are running Windows Server 2012. All are on the same LAN and no firewalls are between them.
    On all three 2013 servers (EXCHFE01, EXCHFE02, EXCHMB03) I'm getting the dreaded HTTP 500 error whether I try to get to OWA or ECP. This did work at one point where I could at least login to the mailbox server (EXCHMB03) and migrate all my mailboxes over
    to it. Sometime this morning after the two Client Access servers were installed the mailbox server stopped working (HTTP 500 errors). This is very frustrating because I can't even login to a console to manage Exchange from any server at this point.
    Both Client Access servers aren't really showing anything of value in the event logs or the IIS logs. The mailbox server (EXCHMB03) does show the following event 3002:
    Protocol /Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync failed to process request from identity NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM. Exception: Microsoft.Exchange.Security.Authentication.BackendRehydrationException: Rehydration failed. Reason: Source server 'NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM' does not have token serialization permission.
    at Microsoft.Exchange.Security.Authentication.BackendRehydrationModule.ProcessRequest(HttpContext httpContext)
    at Microsoft.Exchange.Security.Authentication.BackendRehydrationModule.OnAuthenticateRequest(Object source, EventArgs args).
    ...and I get the following when I run the Exchange Management Shell tool on the same mailbox server (along with lots of other red HTML text):
    More Information:
    This error means that there was a problem while processing the request. The request was received by the Web server, but during processing a fatal error occurred, causing the 500 error.
    The Client Access servers show the following errors:
    Performance counter updating error. Counter name is Location cache update time, category name is MSExchange Active Manager Client. Optional code: 3. Exception: The exception thrown is : System.InvalidOperationException: The requested Performance Counter is not a custom counter, it has to be initialized as ReadOnly.

    Reinstall Exchange multiple times
    Rebooted multiple times

    Rebooted DCs multiple times (no exchange servers are DCs)
    I'm sure I've left out a few troubleshooting steps since I've been working at this for two days. Can anybody offer any advice? I'm at my wits end here...

    Hi,
    Please check whether the mail.mydomain.com is pointed to your Exchange 2010 or Exchange 2013. Please run the following command to check your OWA virtual directores and ECP virtual directories:
    Get-OwaVirtualDirectory -ShowMailboxVirtualDirectories | Select Identity,name,Internalurl,ExternalUrl,*auth*
    Get-EcpVirtualDirectory -ShowMailboxVirtualDirectories | Select Identity,name,Internalurl,ExternalUrl,*auth*
    In IIS manager > Default Web Site, please make sure Anonymous Authentication is Enabled in Authentication. Confirm that "Require SSL" is checked on the SSL Settings of the default web site.

  • Installing Exchange 2013 SP1 - Errors MSExchange ADAccess & MSExchange Common
