Microsoft Exchange Troubleshooting Assistant v1.0 now available!

I am getting this error: "The connection to the Microsoft Exchange Server is unavailable.  Outlook must be online or connected to complete this action".
When have configured Outlook with my companies Exchange Server, and it prompts me to a sign in page, but I am a loss on why the error says "outlook must be online"?  
Any ideas?

Regarding the slow calls to lsass link:  I've check the link and it seems to be valid (you should have been directed to http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/exchange/Analyzer/9670152d-616f-4e01-adb4-34dafa6873e7.mspx?mfr=true).  If you are still seeing this problem. please post to our newsgroup for further instructions.

Yes, thanks tt. We will investigate.

tt,

Thanks for reporting those two issues, I have sent them to people that can do something about them. :)

Just ran the tool and it says that my FCL shows some slow calls to LSASS.  Then there is a link for "Tell me more about this issue and how to resolve it".  Clicking on it takes to me the homepage of the Exchange Server TechCenter.

In fact, clicking on any "tell me more about how to solve it" links takes me there.  I really was expecting a page with some hints as to how to solve the issues presented.

Hey guys, please try setting the DPI to 120 and run through the layout in this program.  It's a mess, with labels covering entry controls.

Actually, Exchange Troubleshooting Assistant (ExTRA) contains the new “Mail Flow Troubleshooter” (we have been calling it ExMFA internally) as well. In short, ExTRA = ExPTA + ExDRA + ExMFA.

I will blog about the mail flow troubleshooter to describe its functionality in details separately.

From what I’ve read, the Troubleshooting Assistant seems to combine the Microsoft Exchange Server Performance Troubleshooting Analyzer Tool and the Microsoft Exchange Server Disaster Recovery Analyzer Tool, which make-up the Microsoft Exchange Server Analyzer Tools suite <http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/exchange/downloads/2003/analyzers/default.mspx>:

* The Microsoft Exchange Server Best Practices Analyzer Tool scans servers running Exchange Server and identifies items that do not conform to Microsoft best practices.
* The Microsoft Exchange Server Performance Troubleshooting Analyzer Tool examines the performance of an Exchange Server messaging system, and identifies possible causes of performance problems.
* The Microsoft Exchange Server Disaster Recovery Analyzer Tool examines an Exchange Server deployment when an Exchange Server database fails to mount, and identifies possible causes of the problem.

Together, this makes-up the Microsoft Exchange Server Analyzer Tools suite.
