"You can address item [1] by hard coding the netlogon SiteName" I'm not sure how to accomplish. Do I need to edit a file or the registry? Can you elaborate? Thanks, Andy From: Michael B. Smith [mailto:mich...@smithcons.com] Sent: Tuesday, May 03, 2011 1:55 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Two Exchange 2010 bugs... You can address item [1] by hard coding the netlogon SiteName. This is a Windows problem at its core. Exchange MAY end up coding around it, but they expect (hope) Windows will address it. Both teams are certainly aware of this problem. I've not seen item [2] or heard it discussed. My initial SWAG would be to set the startup on that service to "Automatic (Delayed Start)", set the service to auto-restart, and have a script in Task Scheduler that runs "10 minutes after boot" (or another appropriate value) to start the service. Generally, I catch and autocorrect things like this with monitoring solutions such as Operations Manager. Regards, Michael B.

I found two bugs in Exchange 2010. They both have to do with services starting in the proper order. Or in this case the incorrect order. 1) MSExchange ADAccess Event ID's 2601, 2604, 2501 in application logging every 15 minutes. This happens after every reboot and continues every 15 minutes because Exchange services startup before the server is able to talk to the AD. The solution according to Microsoft is restart the Exchange AD Topology service. It sucks to restart that service every time you reboot. Restarting the Exchange AD Topology service, restarts ALL the Exchange services. Here's a link to the issue: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2025528 Cause: "During a restart of the server, the operating system queries Active Directory to get its AD Site information. On a Windows 2008 R2 server, this will sometimes fail. As the Exchange services are starting, it also will do a query for its AD Site and that too will fail. Windows will continue to try and determine its AD Site name and will eventually succeed. However, Exchange does not re-try the query and the above errors are logged in the application log every 15 minutes." 2) Microsoft Exchange Forms-Based Authentication service doesn't start at boot because Web Publishing service has not yet started. Unless you start the Exchange Forms-Based Authentication service, your CAS OWA is down. Microsoft's solution is start the service. <Rant On> I hope Microsoft addresses these issues in a future rollup. I would have thought that by SP1 issues like this would have been fixed. That's one reason I didn't push for 2010 when it first came out. It seems like no MS software is stable/usable until at least SP1. By the time the issues are resolved though, the next version is out. In Exchange 2007, there was a CCR replication issue that logged erroneous errors. I reported it to MS and spent many hours helping them test patches. They never did fix the issue so I just learned to ignore the errors in the Event log. I was hoping somehow Exchange 2010 would be different. </Rant Off> Until then I guess I'll just run this script whenever the server is rebooted. #Restart Services after reboot. net stop MSExchangeTransportLogSearch net stop MSExchangeTransport net stop MSExchangeServiceHost net stop MSExchangeRPC net stop MSExchangeProtectedServiceHost net stop MSExchangeMailboxReplication net stop MSExchangeFDS net stop MSExchangeAntispamUpdate net stop MSExchangeAB net stop MSExchangeADTopology net start MSExchangeADTopology net start MSExchangeAB net start MSExchangeAntispamUpdate net start MSExchangeFDS net start MSExchangeMailboxReplication net start MSExchangeProtectedServiceHost net start MSExchangeRPC net start MSExchangeServiceHost net start MSExchangeTransport net start MSExchangeTransportLogSearch net start MSExchangeFBA --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com<mailto:listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com> with the body: unsubscribe exchangelist ********************************************************************** CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE - The information transmitted in this message is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
