Here I was truffling through the TechNet forums, and saw this thread. I thought I’d share a little bit more detail around it, as the error text that is added to the event log entry is a little confusing.

Just in case anyone is still procrastinating about moving over from Mesh to SkyDrive, please note that Mesh will be retired next week on Wednesday February the 13th 2013.
Believe it or not, but it was back in 2008 when Mesh was released. Time certainly flies, and the capabilities and expectations people now have for cloud services have changed.
SkyDrive is now the central component for integra… Read the rest “Time To Move To SkyDrive From Mesh”
Since I have been asked a few times about how I pimped tweaked my TechNet Forum signature I thought it would be prudent to write it up here. This was one of the main drivers for creating this blog in the first place – so I could avoid having to write the same email several times and instead it would be a “here’s the link which contains the answer!”.
My current TechNet signature is shown below, and t… Read the rest “How To Tweak Your TechNet Forum Signature”
You may have seen the previous articles, part one and two, where I’d blogged about controlling DNS registration for network interfaces with multiple IP addresses. For Exchange administrators this is a a concern because sometimes we have to create multiple web sites on a Client Access Server (CAS). This is typically done so that OWA can have different authentication flags (Forms, NTLM, Basic) or a… Read the rest “Fine Grained Control When Registering Multiple IP Addresses–Part Trois”

You may have see the MSPFE tag on Twitter, MSPFE Handle or the MSPFE blogs on TechNet and MSDN.
One of these guest posts went live last week and is available here.

The end of Exchange 2010 SP1 support is almost upon us! Is it really that long since Exchange 2010 SP1 was released

So at this point please ensure that you are on SP2, and when SP3 ships later on this year come back and check when support will end for SP2.

Last Tuesday was December’s Patch Tuesday, it also featured the re-release of Exchange 2010 SP2 RU5 as the V2 of the update. As a result Exchange administrators have been busy updating servers and installing patches.
If you read no further, remember only this – do not install Windows Management Framework 3.0 onto Exchange 2010 SP2 or Exchange 2007 servers!

The Exchange 2010 SP2 RU5 update was removed from the download centre last month. The V2 of this update is now available and resolves issues with the Get-DatabaseAvailabilityGroup cmdlets. With the v1 of the update installed this error may have been observed:

30-1-2013 Edit – Link to part 3 is here.
In the Exchange 2007 and 2010 world there are definite scenarios where there is a need to add multiple IP addresses to a server so that we can assign specific IP addresses to different web sites. However we do not want clients resolving the Exchange server to multiple A records and getting into a tizzy.
