    Hello Based on Server 2012 R2 and Hyper-V I have setup a small Environment consisting of two servers: A domain Controller and an exchange server 2016. For preparation and Installation of Exchange 2016 I followed these steps: https://judeperera.wordpress.com/2015/07/24/step-by-step-guide-for-installing-exchange-server-2016-preview/ I have two user and mailboxes. If I try to send an email to the own Mail box it is hanging in ´Outgoing´ (Outlook) or it remains in ´drafts (OWA). Same when I try to send from one mailbox to the other mailbox. This means internal mail flow is not working.

    Mail flow -- send connector is empty and I did not create an connector for external mail yet. So I have the following questions:
    1. Should internal mail transport work by default after installation of an Exchange Server 2016 or are there any post tasks required.
    2. In Event log I see constant entries Event ID 9041 ( Details s. below)  Or is this the reason for my problem?
    Thank you for any info or help on that in advance!

    Hello Jim I investigated and finally solved my problem.

     

    I extended the organization with a second exchange server. Right after the installation I was able to send and receive a few emails, but then it also did not work anymore. Any time I also saw that one the first exchange server one email of my many attempts arrived in a mailbox on my first exchange server. With sending emails with Telnet and checking with get-queue I finally found that the emails are hanging in the queue and I saw an error “451 4.4.0 DNS query failed. The error was SMTSEND.DNS.NotExistentDomain”.
    The fact that hardly someone is reporting such a problem with internal mail flow right after installation of a single Exchange server 2016 made me aware that I obviously made an error which no one else is making in this world. (:
    As preferred DNS server on NIC of my Exchange Server I entered 192.168.178.41 which is my DC and DNS Server. As alternate DNS Server I entered 192.168.178.1 which is my Broad Band Router. I deleted the entry in alternate DNS Server and the internal mail flow started working properly.
    Tue to the fact that I do not need two exchange servers and removing one seemed too much work for me, I restored an earlier state of my Hyper-V Servers, emptied alternate DNS Server on the NIC setting, repeated the installation of the exchange server and internal mail flow worked just fine.

    I do not have the deep knowledge on DNS and Exchange to explain why the setting of alternate DNS Server setting for the NIC causes a problem on SMTPSEND.

    I do not have an error Event ID 9041 after the new installation


    Anyway thank you for your help.

    Hello Jackandwinie
    yes, it is solved and working now.

    As preferred DNS server on NIC of my Exchange Server I entered 192.168.178.41 which is my DC and DNS Server. As alternate DNS Server I entered 192.168.178.1 which is my Broad Band Router. I deleted/emptied the entry in alternate DNS Server and the internal mail flow started working properly.
    Tue to the fact that I do not need two exchange servers and removing one seemed too much work for me, I restored an earlier state of my Hyper-V Servers, emptied alternate DNS Server on the NIC setting, repeated the installation of the exchange server and internal mail flow worked just fine.

    Hi,

    Yes, as said by Jim please check the services. Also would recommend you to please run the below tool.

    https://testconnectivity.microsoft.com/ to check the connectivity for the mailflow.

    as per event id 9041 please refer to the below article

    Hi Praveen

    If understand it correct testconnectivity and

    http://www.microsoft.com/technet/support/ee/transform.aspx?ProdName=Exchange&ProdVer=8.0&EvtID=2016&EvtSrc=MSExchangeTransport

    is related to external connectivity and transport.
    I am not yet so far. I have no external connectors created yet.

    I can connect via Outlook and OWA from a PC within the domain.
    But an email cannot be sent to the own mailbox. According Jim´s answer this should work by default.

    I was able to resolve the Warning message(Event ID 9041) in the Event logs by simply Dismounting the Database and remounting it after just a few minutes!  This can be done in ECP under the Server page->Databases or ExchMGMTShell. Hopefully this will hold true for everyone else as it is a very easy fix.

    Thank you! And I've tried to rebuild the entire test system, including dc and exchange in VMware. Also the same problem, it cannot receive and send emails yet, whatever after resolved the 9041 errors. But I find another way to solve this problem temporary , that create a new mail database,then move all users' mailbox to the new database, finally everything is ok now. Unfortunately, I haven't known why it happened yet. Ps: after kill 9041 error, there full of 106 errors in the event viewer, and also the service "microsoft.exchange.notifications.broker" always be stopped.

    I experienced the same issue with my new test lab in Azure IaaS environment, after long struggle I tried few steps to fix the problem,

    first make sure that internal DNS server resolve and have a valid record for new accepted domain like (@ictconsult.com)

    restart the services and better to wait for sometime to let the new domain synchronized.
