Beantwortet FSE - Active Directory Replication Warning?

  • Saturday, December 12, 2009 11:31 PM
     
     
    I have a single W2K8 R2 domain controller running Microsoft ForeFront Protection2010 for Exchange and whenever I try to configure Antispam components I receive the following error "Active Directory Replication Warning" Exchange management integration has not been enabled. After Active Directory replication of the required credentials has completed, alll functionality, such as antispam managment, on-demand scans, and public folder access, is not available.

    The server is completely up to date, there are no other event log warnings and the strangest thing is id I install FSE again it will work just fine but within a 24 hr period i start getting this error. It is a single domain controller so it is not replicating at all. I followed the article "Troubleshooting integration with Exchange Server 2010 Active Directory components." and evrything checks outs? Any ideas?

    Hi,

     

    Thank you for the post.

     

    Before going any further, I’d like to know more information. Would you please help to run FSCDiag.exe out of the FPE install directory and send me the .zip file that it creates?

    Hello,

    have you resolved this problem? I'm facing exactly the same warning and some FSE features are not available (antispam and those mentioned in the warning).

    Thanks,

    When I run the Powershell commands to troubleshoot the error as recommended in KB http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee358879.aspx I get the following errors. I have verified the the server’s machine account is in the Exchange’s Hygiene Management role group. The thing that kills me most is this is a single domain controller with no replication partners?

    Get-FseSpamConnectionFilter : Microsoft Forefront Protection 2010 for Exchange Server does not yet
    have the access needed to execute this command.  Full Active Directory replication of required cred
    entials may not have completed; when replication has completed the command will be available.

    What I have found to restore functionality is to stop the "Microsoft Forefront Server Protection Controller" service which stops the "Microsoft Exchange Information Store" and "Microsoft Exchange Transport" service, then restart them. The sad thing about this is that it does not work on a clean reboot you have to do the above steps manually. I am assuming it has something to do with the services not starting in the right order or timing of starting?

    The other thing that I have noticed is ever since restarting those services manaully the problem has not returned even after multiple reboots, go figure...

    Thank you for the incantations.  It was certainly easier than removing and re-installing Forefront, which is what I did last time this showed up.

    Same here. Installed FPE on 8 machines, but one sucks. Then I manualle restart FSCController and everything regarding this issue is fine.

    BUT: I have to do this manually everytime i restart the machine. There must be a solution.

    Furthermore I have a problem with MSExchangeRPC (Microsoft Exchange RPC Client Access on a Unicast NLB Cluster), where the service also needs to be started manually.

     

    Are there any ideas?

    Best regards

    Stefan

    Thanks D-a-n_L, your suggestion to restart the services also resolved the issue for me (something a regular reboot did not fix).

    This seems to affect so many people, why haven't Microsoft bothered to fix it yet? Come on MS, get it together please. Service start order is something you really should have nailed down by now.

    Thank you for your post

    Try changing the startup mode from Manual to Automatic, for some reasons I don't know why Microsoft chose to set this mode to manual,

    it is working just fine for me

    Open Forefront Management Shell and type the following Windows PowerShell command:

     

    Get-FseExchangeManagementStatus

     

    This returns a value for ExchangeManagementAvailable. If this value is false, Exchange integration has not yet been achieved.

     

    The Domain Administrator can verify if the server’s machine account has been added to Exchange’s Hygiene Management role group.


    Do a force AD replication if necessary.
    Run the PowerShell commnd Again

     

    it resolve my issue please try.

    Hello,

    I have the same issue with FPE 2010, Exchange Server 2010 SP2, and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1.

    I really dont undestand how is possible MS dont take care of this problem, I found several issues with all that applications is like dont care at all, may be because there are so few people that have bought the product, i dont know.

    This Thread was open 2 years ago, and we are experiencing the issue till now.

    This resolved my issue, Thank you much

    For some reason my exchange server is no longer in the "Hygiene group". Once I added it there, the value of "Get-FseExchangeManagementStatus" becomes true almost instantaneously.

    thank you for the post!
