I checked the status of the synthetic transactions in the event viewer and saw that none of them were completing. After looking at the logs for a bit, I noticed that all of the synthetic transactions are using the FQDN of my watcher node as the Target FQDN
instead of Lync pool name. As a result, all automatic executions of the synthetic transactions are failing.
If I replace the watcher node FQDN with the pool FQDN and manually run the command string from the event log, the transactions run successfully. If the transactions are run manually as-is they fail. So, the question is, how do I ensure that the pool name
is passed into the $poolfqdn variable instead of the name of my watcher node?
When I setup synthetic transactions, I used the following commands.
New-CsTrustedApplicationPool –Identity "WatcherNode.mydomain.com" –Registrar "lyncpool.mydomain.com" –ThrottleAsServer $True –TreatAsAuthenticated $True –OutboundOnly $False –RequiresReplication $True –ComputerFqdn "WatcherNode.mydomain.com" –Site "TEST"
New-CsTrustedApplication –ApplicationId STWatcherNode –TrustedApplicationPoolFqdn "WatcherNode.mydomain.com" –Port 5061
Event log information is included below.
