I have a single Exchange 2013 server that went through a swing migration to get there that is rebooting daily. There is one other DC in the organization and 4 more Member servers.
What I need to know is:
HOW do you FORCE a Global Override to take effect? (or, in my case is it the CORRECT one to attempt to override)
I have a 2013 Exchange Server w CU6 installed and it's rebooting daily. Debugging shows:
PROCESS_OBJECT: ffffe000e2ecd3c0
IMAGE_NAME: wininit.exe
DEBUG_FLR_IMAGE_TIMESTAMP: 0
MODULE_NAME: wininit
FAULTING_MODULE: 0000000000000000
PROCESS_NAME: MSExchangeHMWo
BUGCHECK_STR: 0xEF_MSExchangeHMWo
DEFAULT_BUCKET_ID: WIN8_DRIVER_FAULT
CURRENT_IRQL: 0
ANALYSIS_VERSION: 6.3.9600.17237 (debuggers(dbg).140716-0327) amd64fre
After doing some more investigation in the logs I can see that the requester for the reboot (I believe) in the RecoveryActionLogs is:ActiveDirectoryConnectivityConfigDCRestart and I attempted:
Add-GlobalMonitoringOverride -Identity Exchange\ActiveDirectoryConnectivityConfigDCServerReboot -ItemType Responder -PropertyName Enabled -PropertyValue 0 -Duration 60.00:00:00
(Should this be ActiveDirectoryConnectivityConfigDCRestartrather than ActiveDirectoryConnectivityConfigDCServerReboot
Based on http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2883203 for CU2 that should create the override for 60days.
When I run: (Get-WinEvent -LogName Microsoft-Exchange-ManagedAvailability/* | % {[XML]$_.toXml()}).event.userData.eventXml| ?{$_.ActionID -like "*ForceReboot*"} | ft RequesterName
It still shows as ENABLED.
If I try to apply the Override again it, of course, complains:
Monitoring Item 'Exchange\ActiveDirectoryConnectivityConfigDCServerReboot of type 'Responder' already has applied for Property 'Enabled' Please remove the exiting Override if you want to apply a new one.
SO: Am I trying to override the right option and how do I FORCE it to apply?? It 'applied' for the property over 24hrs ago!
This is pretty URGENT so any help would be appreciated.
One last thing HOW do I turn off the Monitoring altogether if necessary to avoid the constant rebooting if the monitoring item won't change to Enabled: 0
Thanks,
Robert
