Lost ECP and OWA Exchange

Hello,

 

I have a little problem. I have 2 servers in DAG. When I restarted exchange server, I lost access to the ECP and OW. All of my services IIS are started, I’ve got the access to my Exchange Management Shell and when I try the command Get-EcpVirtualDirectory, I’ve the following message : 

 

Failed to create Internet Information Services (IIS) directory entry. Error message: Server execution failed. Hresult = -2146959355 + CategoryInfo: NotInstalled: (ServerExchange …)

    Thank you for your answer, but I have some question :

    - On my configuration, I have 2 servers on dag but when I stop the first server, the client outlook can't switch to the second server. So I fear when I delete the server the client not switch to the server I created.

    - It's possible to reinstall IIS without affect the exchange server ?

    Best regards
  • Hi! Seraphin67
    Can you view the directories in IIS correct or does it seems to be issues even there?
    Have you tried to do an iisreset?
    Does the eventviewer show any further information or related errors?

    The error code however make it seem like
    1: Either you're not part of the Organization Management group for Exchange
    2: The Directories are corrupt

    If push comes to shove you might need to re-create the directories and see if that helps

    Let me know how it goes

    Kind Regards

      Good morning  oliwer_sundgren,

       

      When I start the IIS administration service,  the following message appear : IIS administration service : Error 2 (File Not Found).
      I see the same error on the eventviewer but when I started IIS application I have access to the directories  but perhaps is malfunctioning.
      I can try an iireset, but I fear that server exchange will fall.

       

      Best regards

        Hello again Seraphin67

        Im sorry to say but it does seem that there is something very wrong with the server.
        I would recommend that you try and install a new Exchange server to the organisation and see if that new installation will work as expected, and then work on removing the failing server from the organisation.

        Kind Regards
        Oliwer
