Power Outage UPS went Full Stop now Mail Flow Issues
Philip Elder
We had an overnight unannounced power outage at a client site.
This site is mid-migration to current OS and Exchange 2019. Exchange 2019 is _not_ installed yet.
The VM is Exchange 2013.
There are two distinct symptoms:
- Mail sits in the incoming queue for anywhere up to about 20 minutes before being delivered
- OWA Send goes to Drafts – No Permission to Send is the error in OWA
- The HTTPS 444 certificate was unbound so I had to reseat that in IIS.
The server has been restarted with a successful shutdown and startup so the database is in a clean shutdown state.
Suggestions please?
Thanks,

Run the healthchecker. This sounds like a shadow storage queue issue, but the potential list of issues is long.

Indeed and the source of the issue was found … it was DNS! :S
We’re in the process of migrating this site as mentioned. The DNS settings on the vNIC were still saddled between the old DCs and new DCs so whenever the server would poll the old DCs, which are deprecated, things would stall until the timeout was reached.
So, mea culpa. Fortunately, not something that would have required me to run a forklift recovery. *phew*

Yeah, and my bad for not checking my work before we got cut-off migration wise. Accountants don’t like change during tax season. ;0)

I like them because they know the value of our products and services. And that’s not a pun. It’s also why that’s our primary vertical.
I’ve done work for $800/Hour lawyers. Not worth it IMNSHO. Their clothes are worth more than my car.
Doctors? I’m not sure since we don’t do anything government related unless I know the folks we’ll be working with and don’t have to submit a tender (RFP).
Realtors are another category I prefer not to work with. But, that’s just personal preference due to bad experiences. Not all are that bad but I don’t want to risk it anymore.
