The Ehlo options for the client proxy target did not match

Hi, we've just got SCOM up and running and one of our servers is returning the below (summarized)

Alert description: The Ehlo options for the client proxy
target server did not match while setting up proxy for user  on inbound session 08D24FG691A527F4. The
critical non-matching options were <maxSize>. The non-critical
non-matching options were <NONE>. Client proxying will continue.Probe Result Name:
'Transport/SmtpProxyEhloOptionsDoNotMatchContinueProxying'


According to the alert I should go here https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms.exch.scom.hubtransport(v=exchg.150).aspx

and re-run the probe to see if the error was transient

So I do this 

Invoke-MonitoringProbe hubtransport\SmtpProxyEhloOptionsDoNotMatchContinueProxyingMonitor -Server server | fl

and get

WARNING: Could not find assembly or object type associated with monitor identity
'hubtransport\SmtpProxyEhloOptionsDoNotMatchContinueProxyingMonitor'. Please ensure that the given monitor identity
exists on the server.

So I double check the probe name

Connecting to Exchange Powershell from a different domain

Hello,

I would like to know if there is a way, without changing Exchange default security configuration, to open a remote powershell from a computer not joined in the Exchange domain but in the local network. By default, Exchange seems to only allow Kerberos as the authentication mechanism.

I'm really not a specialist in Kerberos, I've looked ont other forums, but it seems it is possible to authenticate with Kerberos if some config is done on the DC like a setspn and a keytab file.

Does anyone has already been confronted to the same issue ?

Thanks

How to outpout messagetracking results to csv format so that each recipient smtp addresses is on a seperate row?

May 14, 2013, 4:21 pm
$
0

I've searched far and wide today to no avail. The basic issue is someone sent an email to a DL, and I want a list of people who received this email. Simple right? While Powershell is AWESOME.. some simple things turn into nightmares.. case in point. Here is my powershell command..

Get-ExchangeServer | where {$_.IsHubTransportServer -eq "true"} | sort-object Name | get-messagetrackinglog -ResultSize unlimited -sender john@contoso.com -EventID "deliver" -Start "05/14/2013 10:00:00 AM" -End "05/14/2013 12:00:00 PM" -messagesubject "I can't figure this out" | select-object timeStamp,eventid,ServerHostName,Sender,@{Name=”Recipients”;Expression={[string]::join(";", ($_.recipients))}} ,MessageSubject | Export-csv c:\sent1.csv -notypeinformation

This works, exactly as I expect but here is the BIG problem. #_.recipients is a string value, and this email was sent to A DL, with nested groups. So when I open the results, there are rows that have multiple recipient smtp addresses in the same row. So the output looks like this in Excel.  Normally this works fine, but I think the issue is that this was a DL, and in the output CSV I see rows that contain 1 recipient and others may contain 20 on the same row. Any suggestions on how I can fix this?

Timestamp        SenderRecipients          Recipients

What I want is this..

I am constantly getting this error at least once a day. When I log into the server I cannot ping the DC or open the ECP. The only solution to get my Exchange 2013 Server back up and running is to shutdown and restart. 

I plan on updating the firmware and drivers on my HP Proliant DL360 (Microsoft Tech suggestion).

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Exchange Control Panel painfully slow to load users list

Hi all,

For several days, when I attempt to access ECP 2010 SP3, IE is painfully slow to load users list. So this tool becomes inoperable.

When I sign in, I have to wait several minutes before ECP shows users list. And when I attempt to select a user to manage, the users selection window is equally painfully slow for showing users list.

This issue occurs from a remote IE or from the Exchange server itself. I tried various URL, but without success (https://FDQN_external/ecp,https://FQDN_internal/ecp ou  https://localhost/ecp).

Thank you for your help.

Exchange 2013 SSL offloading

Hello,

i have little confusion that someone may be able to help me understand.

We have classic scenario with Exchange 2013 CU7.

- 2 backend servers

- 2 frontend servers

frontend servers are load balanced with balancer that have possibility of SSL offloading and i did it only on CAS servers as described here.

I did change, however backend gave some error about certificate.

In IIS i changed certificate to be same as on CAS servers, and no warnings anymore, and that leaves me a question, do i need to do anything on backend servers or SSL offloading on CAS servers is enough?

Thanks in advance and regards,

I have a clean install of an Exchange 2013 CU7 (MBX & CAS) on W2K12R2 Standard. This is a VM running on ESXi 5.5.

When I run the BPA, I get some errors related to the new "Managed Avalibility" feature:

I have "Check server health entry" for Mapi.Submit.Monitor, OutlookRpcSelfTestMonitor, OutlookRpcDeepTestMonitor & RpsDeepTestPSProxyMonitor.

"Check state of server component" for ForwardSyncDaemon & ProvisioningRps.

"Check report of health set" for MailboxTransport, RPS & Outlook.Protocol. 

Any idea where to start troubleshooting?

Performance counter definition file is invalid

I've been trying to resolve some of the many issues I've run into after installing Exchange 2013 CU2 as a fresh install before migrating my users from 2007.  We'd run into this bug that was generating a ton of event logs for missing performance counters:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2870416

It includes a PowerShell script to reregister all of the performance counters that come with Exchange 2013.  When running it on my servers, it generated an error for one of the performance counter definition files.

53 C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\Setup\Perf\InfoWorkerMultiMailboxSearchPerformanceCounters.xml
New-PerfCounters : The performance counter definition file is invalid.
At line:6 char:4
+    New-PerfCounters -DefinitionFileName $f
+    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidData: (:) [New-PerfCounters], TaskException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : [Server=EXM-SNA-0001,RequestId=b7edcf81-0f96-4937-a4a7-3bc8f6165132,TimeStamp=10/10/2013 9:30:50 PM] 79EF1430,Microsoft.Exchange.Management.Tasks.NewPerfCounters

I opened the files in Notepad and this one didn't have any obvious errors or differences in structure compared to the other files.  An internet search showed no one else reporting this error processing this file that I could find.  I'd be curious if anyone else running CU2 is able to register this performance counter.

New-PerfCounters -DefinitionFileName "C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\Setup\Perf\InfoWorkerMultiMailboxSearchPerformanceCounters.xml"

Latency leads to full system Failure in Exchange 2010 - Resolved in 2013?

April 27, 2015, 11:29 am

My work encountered a bug - and for no lack of trying - I could not find any bug submission for Ex2010 anymore.  Since Most programming relies on the foundation of the past - if replication service was implemented the same in 2013 than it could leave to a full system failure.

The issue is something happened in REPLICATION service in such a fashion that it accepted a connection, and in the programming it set a variable to a LARGE NUMBER (fail closed) to replace for "Copy Queue length" in the ball park of 922 quadrillion.

The service never updates this value because of its quasi-state and some timeout occurs and now the GOOD servers think their copy is ludicrously behind.  This causes the GOOD servers to attempt to fail-over - as they believe their copy from the BAD server has failed or perhaps another check fails...

[6 DAG pieces on 3 servers, 4 pieces per server]

In my scenario Server 3 holds:  

1 part of server 2  <= Tells server 2 you're bad - don't fail over

1 part of server 1. <= Tells server 1 you're bad - don't fail over

2 parts its own <= "good" - though dead replication service

As I do not know if this exploitable by simply placing a listener in place of replication service to accept and do not respond to connections - I do not know.  However, there is a "bug" or flaw in my opinion to allow 1 bad server to superceed two good servers based on a partial service crash.  Simply stopping replication service on Server 3 allowed Server 1 / 2 to take over with out issue - I then restarted replication service and no issue since. 

Since i wasted an hour looking where to submit this - this forum will hopefully do - I am very much a white hat - but I am dislike the non-simple way before me to disclose said information to the creator.  I want my hour back for their non-intuitive process, or maybe the simply don't care about Exchange 2010.

Taking down DAG member for maintenance

April 28, 2015, 12:30 pm

Hello I need some advice on what to do.

I have a two-member Exchange 2010 DAG.  One is an active server where everything is mounted.  The other is simply the passive server.  I will need to power down the passive server in a few days for some extended maintenance.  Roughly several hours.  I know for a fact (because I've been through this before) replication will be cut off during this time and as a result I cannot run a full Exchange backup to flush all the transactions logs and secondly, the copy queues will be very backed up.  Last time they were so backed up all efforts to reseed the passive copy of the mailbox databases failed.  In the end I think I had to delete and copy the active server's databases over.  That took a really really long time.

So to avoid all that headache what should I do for this upcoming maintenance to make life easier?  

- Is there a way I can literally STOP replication or even delete the passive copies of the mailbox databases just so I can run full backups and truncate transaction logs?  

- Otherwise, assuming I have backed up copy queues, should I simply try reseeding or resuming synchronization?  Or should I not even waste time and delete all the passive copies and their files and start fresh with NEW copies?

health probe - not running and trying to see why?

Hi,

Im trying to fix our exchange server 2013 (patched upto and including CU8)

when I run the following command

get-healthreport -server servername | where {$_.alertvalue -ne “healthy”} | ft -auto

Server State         HealthSet         AlertValue LastTransitionTime  MonitorCount
------ -----         ---------         ---------- ------------------  ------------
xxNotApplicable Compliance       Unhealthy  23/04/2015 14:01:26 29
xxNotApplicable MailboxTransport Unhealthy  23/04/2015 13:21:35 25
xxNotApplicable Outlook           Unhealthy  23/04/2015 13:57:21 3

when i run the next command to get a list of the monitors that are unhealthy

$test = get-healthreport -server servername | where {$_.alertvalue -ne “healthy”}
foreach ($line in $test) {$line.entries | where {$_.alertvalue -ne “healthy”} | ft -auto}

it shows me that the following monitor is unhealthy in the outlook healthset

Server State         Name                 TargetResource HealthSetName AlertValue ServerComponent
------ -----         ----                 -------------- ------------- ---------- ---------------
xx NotApplicable OutlookRpcCtpMonitor                Outlook       Unhealthy  None

From this I found that the probe is OutlookRpcCtpMonitor, so I then tried to invoke the probe

invoke-monitoringprobe -identity Outlook\OutlookRpcCtpProbe -server xx

that returns the following error..

WARNING: Failed to find the probe result for invoke now request id 2610659f96e64e62b4c71d1f61f65d5e and probe
workdefinition id 198.

I have restarted the server, recycled the MSExchangeSyncAppPool.  Not sure what else to try so that can fix the unhealthy set within exchange.

Kind regards

Simon
