Sleep is precious.... all lost sleep across a lifetime is never recoverable. Same with whenver anything like this cuts into my drinking time. :-) Ace
From: Mike in Nebraska on 9 Jan 2010 19:41 Yeah, I know you're right.

From: Mike in Nebraska on 9 Jan 2010 22:41 I found I am not getting email flowing due to WMI Repository corruption. Here's the log entry: Event Type: Error Event Source: MSExchangeSA Event Category: Monitoring Event ID: 9099 Date: 1/9/2010 Time: 9:26:35 PM User: N/A Computer: WCT Description: The MAD Monitoring thread was unable to read the state of the services, error '0x80010108'. For more information, click http://www.microsoft.com/contentredirect.asp. And the article I found to fix it: http://windowsitpro.com/Articles/ArticleID/48980/pg/1/1/html Can't stop the WMI service; I suspect it's because I'm remoting in. Will have to travel in and do it on-site.
From: Mike in Nebraska on 9 Jan 2010 22:47 I ran the ISA BPA and it had 3 critical issues: "The firewall enging is not running." S-channel "ISA Server services not installed." I suspect I need to correct the WMI Repository corruption first before I tackle this issue. Mike

UPDATE On a hunch, I re-registered the WMI components (I remoted in to do it) using these at a command line: cd /d %windir%\system32\wbem for %i in (*.dll) do RegSvr32 -s %i for %i in (*.exe) do %i /RegServer It appeared to work - no errors while each ran. I then ran SBS BPA and Exchange BPA and saw no inhibiting errors. As a further check, I am ~45 minutes into running the WMI Diagnostic tool. It is on this step: (0) ** - NT Event Log information Should be done in another 10 minutes or so. I'm concerned with the lack of incoming emails, though. I ran reports at DNSStuff.com and the incoming connection can't be made. I downloaded and installed the SMTP Diagnostic tool on my server and it found that outgoing email works just fine. Am anxious to see what the WMI Diagnostic comes up with. I may have to reinstall Exchange 2003 SP2 again to reinstall the WMI repository - I downloaded it and am ready to run it remotely. I will also re-run the CEICW. Mike |
