Having nothing but problems with this Exchange 2013 deployment, and its the simplest way to deploy Exchange. Single server, single domain controller, on the same box.
A few weeks ago, out of nowhere a server that was running fine, started reporting ASP errors and no access to the ECP or OWA would function. Rebooting didn't help. Restarting IIS didn't help. Only Exchange and ADDS run on this server.
Was recommended through an Exchange 2013 forum to install SP1 to fix this issue. That was a nightmare in itself, 18 steps, 50% of which failed one by one and had to work through those issues. Once it completed, OWA and ECP worked again, but only for 24 hours or probably less if I was up all day. Now OWA works if I typehttps://ffws01/owa and login, but if I try https://ffws01/ecp I get a login prompt, then when logging in it goes 500 Internal Error.
PowerShell command Get-MailboxDatabaseCopyStatus shows ContentIndexStatus as "Failed and..."
There are three mailbox databases, the default randomly generated one, then MBX1 and MBX2.
I am at a loss right now, and have no idea what to do with this box. Users are able to access their mailboxes though from Outlook 2010 and Outlook 2013. Just have no way of managing this server anymore.
