SFB Machine Inaccessible Error -- Solved

Iron Contributor

 

I am setting up an Edge Pool with 2 Edge servers as members in it, and I launched Deployment Wizard and started  “Step-2: Setup or Remove Skype for Business Server Components” on Edge-1 and faced the following  issue:


Please check that the following machines are all running the same version of Windows Server: 

FQDN: esg-s4bedg1.thetnaing.com Version: 6.3.9600

FQDN: esg-s4bedg2.thetnaing.com Version: Machine inaccessible

When I run the same Deployment Wizard Step- 2 on Edge-2 server, I faced the exact same issue.

FQDN: esg-s4bedg2.thetnaing.com Version: 6.3.9600

FQDN: esg-s4bedg1.thetnaing.com Version: Machine inaccessible

 

Both Edge-1 and Edge-2 are able to ping, resolve each other by IP as well as host name and FQDNs.

I found this issue/error message in particular is a very unique in nature that you don't really see this error message often, difficult to pin down the root cause and no cure for it.

 


Even when you Google-d this issue, you CANNOT find the concrete solution or write-up on how to solve this issue.

 

Please find an empirical solutio I applied to slove the issue at my TechNet Gallery - http://bit.ly/2mmJL0t
