    We recently replaced a CAS server and now from the console installed locally on my computer I am unable to use the exchange management console (but I can use the shell) because it connects to the new non-existent old server, and there's no way to tell it to try and connect to one of the new ones.   I searched the registry for the server name and didn't find anything I could delete, additionally I went in to AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\MMC as suggested in some posts but there is nothing in that folder to delete.  

     

    I get the following error:

    "The attempt to connect to http://server.domain.com/PowerShell using "Kerberos" authentication failed: connecting to remote server failed with the following error message : The WinRM client acnnot complete the operation within the time specified.  Check if the machine name is valid and is reachable over the network and firewall exception for Windows Remote Management service is enabled.  For more information, see the about_Remote_Troubleshooting Help topic."

    How did you "replace" the server?

    I installed a pair of new CAS servers and uninstalled the old one properly.

     

    Thanks!

    One more thing.

    On a console that connects I can right click the On Premise node and change the CAS server it connects to.  If I right click the EMC that can't connect to anything the properties menu isn't an option, so I'm unable to change it.

    Do you have a w3wp.exe.config under c:\windows\system32\inetsrv\w3wp.exe.config ?

    If you do, try to delete this and test again.

    I do not have that file.  This is not the actual CAS server, this is simply a terminal server with the Exchange Management Tools installed on it.

    So the issue is with a published EMC on a Windows terminal server?

    Is it too much trouble to try and publish again?

    If by republish you mean uninstall the tools and then reinstall them I can't do it for a couple weeks until my next maintenance window.  I've got sixty users on my terminal server so I can't uninstall / reinstall / and then run windows update.  That document talks about how to fix the shell.  The shell connects just fine for me, but the console connects to the old name.

    This isn't the first time I've had this problem.  In fact i have a couple exchange servers where I cna't even open the shell because it fails for the same thing, trying to talk to the old CAS server even though it's been replaced.   And on those servers it's not possible to uninstall / reinstall the tools.

    Hi,

    Please try to rename (as opposed to deleting) the web.config file in c:\intepub\wwwroot directory then issuing the iisreset command in a cmd prompt.
    Then test once more.
    Thanks.
    Best Regards!

    Make sure your login user id is added to "Organization Managment Group / Entrprise admin"

    and also run the Winrm quickconfig  (This will create default settings for a listener)

    Letus know the results.

    I tried winrm quickconfig and it didn't do the trick.

    There is no web.config file in c:\inetpub\wwwroot.  The IIS services are installed on this server only to provide the terminal services remoteapp stuff.

    Removing HKCU\Software\Microsoft\ExchangeServer\v14\AdminTools\NodeStructureSettings did the trick.  Thank you!
