I am wondering when CU2 is going to come out that will actually stabilize mail flow. Like many many many others - I have had to set the Hub Transport Service to restart ( which it does about every 4 to 6 hrs a day, every day). Today mail flow on the SMTP receive connector just decided to up and quit. after 2 reboots it began working again - but the point is - first a foremost Exchange Servers should be able to Send And Receive Mail - Second - Internal Domain Clients should be able to connect. Third and last - External OWA / Phone / And RPC. This new version - when something breaks - everything breaks. In the past at least I NEVER had to worry about the First TWO Primary functions.
By the Way config was Exchange 2003 - migrated to 2010 - Migrated to 2013 on a Server 2012 box with 12GB Ram Virtualized on Xenserver 6.5
