127.0.0.7 on Receive Connectors? Probe result (Name=OnPremisesInboundProxy_3) Errors

$
0
0

Hi All

I have a 4 node DAG/multi role Exchange 2013 CU21 environment. I have been troubleshooting some performance issues with Outlook 2017 clients, mainly relating to slow performance and Outlook client disconnects.

I was delving into the Microsoft – Exchange Active Monitoring – ProbeResult logs and found 1 of my Exchange servers had a bunch of Outlook/RPC errors which to cut a long story short was due to an expired certificate that was bound to the backend default website. I have fixed this now and seems to have cleared up a load of errors.

I notice I am still getting quite a few instances of the following:

Probe result (Name=OnPremisesInboundProxy_3)

No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 127.0.0.1:25

System.Net.Sockets.SocketException (0x80004005): No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 127.0.0.1:25 at System.Net.Sockets.TcpClient..ctor(String hostname, Int32 port) at Microsoft.Forefront.Monitoring.ActiveMonitoring.Smtp.Probes.SimpleSmtpClient.Connect(String server, Int32 port, Boolean disconnectIfConnected) ………

I appear to be getting this for both FrontEnd and Hubtransport on all nodes

My Default Hubtransport receive connector does not have 127.0.0.1 added to the Remote Networks. It currently has ::-ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff and 0.0.0.0-255.255.255.255.

My Default Frontend receive connector is disabled entirely due to custom receive connectors being setup for External mail and internal relay.

Do I need to add 127.0.0.1 to these receive connectors? (and re-enable the default receive connector?)

Thanks!

Hello guys,

Firstly, thank you for reading my problem.

The situation is there: When I execute the exchange health, I get the result below:
Get-ServerHealth -Identity contoso | Where {$_.AlertValue -ne "Healthy" -and $_.AlertValue -ne "Disabled"}

The command return the results below:

The services related with probe it's ok, as well as the components. 

So, I have no idea what I have to do to get a better troubleshooter. Anyone could help me?

OutlookRpcDeepTestMonitor / OutlookRpcSelfTestMonitor (OutlookProtocol) UnHealthy

$

I saw a few posts similar to this topic but no real fixes, I also didn't want to hijack another thread.

I have a 2013 DAG in which one member hosts only passive database copies. SCOM is alerting about OutlookRpcDeepTestMonitor on the server only so I ran the following: (I deleted the healthy entries)

Get-ServerHealth <servername>| ?{$_.HealthSetName -eq "Outlook.Protocol"} | FT Name,HealthSetName,AlertValue

Name                                                             HealthSetName                                                                                                         AlertValue
----                                                             -------------                                                                                                         ----------
OutlookRpcDeepTestMonitor                                        Outlook.Protocol                                                                                                       Unhealthy
OutlookRpcSelfTestMonitor                                        Outlook.Protocol                                                                                                       Unhealthy

I found TechNet to be super useful - https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms.exch.scom.outlook.protocol(v=exchg.150).aspx and then moved on to the fourms. Which I then tried to run this command which failed to run.

Invoke-MonitoringProbe Outlook.Protocol\OutlookMapiHttpSelfTestProbe -Server <servername>| Format-List

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

I tried a reboot which didn't clear things up and have come up empty with my searches. The only think I can think of is maybe it does not like having only passive copies of the databases on the server?

Is it possible to delete a sprecific email from a mail enabled public folder using Powershell?

$
0

Hi all,

We recently had a dodgy email land in 50-60 user mailboxes. But the email was also sent to several mail enabled public folders.

I was able to export a list of recipients from the SMTP Gateway. Using this list, I was able to delete the email from the mailboxes using the Search-Mailbox cmdlet with a -SearchQuery switch.

However, I had to delete the emails manually that were received into public folders.

Is there an equivalent cmdlet to delete from a mail enabled public folder once you know the email address of that public folder? If not, is there a cmdlet to run against all public folder mailboxes to achieve the same result?

Thanks in advance to all.

Hello,

I'm using Exchange 2013 CU21, I'm able to login normally to ECP, all major properties are working but I can't change anything because all fields are null (empty)

Example: ECP --> Servers --> Virtual Directories --> OWA --> when trying to change OWA settings, all fields are empty in the OWA pop-up and I can't navigate OWA pop-up fields

The above is happening in all pop-ups, I used IE11 and Firefox, same results,

Any help please?

Thank you

I am getting an error with Exchange reading from Active Directory. To me, it sounds like a System Mailbox has changed type or deleted. Maybe leftover from an old Database.

Every 5 minutes.

Event 5003, MSExchangeIS

Microsoft Exchange Information Store service has encountered a permanent error while reading information from Active Directory. Details:

Microsoft.Exchange.Server.Storage.DirectoryServices.DirectoryInfoCorruptException: ErrorCode: ADPropertyError, LID: 43420 - RecipientType SystemMailbox is invalid for MailboxGuid 857eef83-cfd4-4775-b335-87f4a953f745

How can I resolve this?

Hello all - We recently upgraded our Exchange environment to CU13.  We noticed now that when a user creates a distribution group via ECP..the "Select an organizational unit" is blank.  This was working prior to the CU13 upgrade.  The windows says "There are more results available than are currently displayed.  There are no items to show in this view."

I attempted to adjust the web.config file to display more results, but that did not do anything either. Screen shot is attached...please let me know if anyone has any ideas

Hi,

By default, Exchange server creates 3 self-sign certificates.

We got third party SSL certificate and applied to all services except "Unified Messaging" and "Unified Messaging Call Router".

Can we delete all default 3 self-sign certificates? Any impact? Thanks!

Hello,

On our Exchange 2013 server, the self-signed cert "Microsoft Exchange" expires in 2 days..
It used by IIS with Exchange Back End site. Should we renew or create new certificate then associate to Exchange Back End site in IIS  ? Maybe this certificat generate itself ?


Thanks
