Exchange 2016 monitoring

[CSykes1]

I ran the exchange 2016 configuration wizard and i have some issues.

1. How do I get the OWA HTTP to check https. We don't allow http for OWA. I get the following error Warning HTTP WARNING: HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden - 175 bytes in 0.005 second response time
2. On Messages Pending Routing and Remote Queue Length I get the following - NSClient - ERROR: No performance data from command: check_pdh

1. You should be able to append -S to the end of your check_command, which will tell it to use SSL. You can do this through the Core Config Manager, and finding the service.
2. Could you show us the service definitions for these failing checks?

What version of NSClient++ do you have installed? You can grab it from add/remove programs (or programs and features).

[CSykes1]

0.5.0.62-x64

[ssax]

Please try uninstalling the latest and install 0.4.3 to see if that resolves the problem.

Thank you

I did as asked and still the same error.

[ssax]

Please open a powershell console as administrator on your Exchange server and run this command:

Code: Select all

get-counter '\SMTP Server(_Total)\Messages Pending Routing'

Does it return anything?

[CSykes1]

PS U:\> get-counter '\SMTP Server(_Total)\Messages Pending Routing'

To quote a much earlier thread about a similar issue:

benningtonr,

It seems as if your performance count library may have some corruption.

The following explains how to rebuild performance counter library

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/300956

You'll want to take caution when following the instructions as it does require editing your registry (make a backup).

See if that helps, and if not let us know so we can try other routes.
