All, I have a new 2008R2 server that I'm trying to get Exchange Server 2010 SP1 running on. I actually installed it several weeks ago and had it running. I was able to access the EMC and shell, without any problem, had my client accounts in place and was in the process of finalizing the OWA. I then had about 1 1/2 weeks where I got pulled off that and came back to it late last week. When I try to access either the EMC/Shell I'm getting connection failure errors.
On the EMC I get:
Initialization failed:
The attempt to connect to using "Kerberos" authentication failed: Connecting to remote server failed with the following error message: The WinRM client received an HTTP server error status (500), but the remote service did not include any other information about the cuase of the failure".
EMS I get:
The WinRM Client... error above and then there's a warning: "No Exchange servers are available in the Active Directory site.
I've also been struggling to get some of the Exchange services running. There will be different ones after reboot but they are some combination of information store, throttling, AB, Service Host, RPC Client Access, Transport. Typically some won't start at all and two or three of them will hang at "starting".
I've tried more solutions than I can count from Microsoft and forum searches. I've run EMTShooter and finally tried to uninstall to attempt to start over, but the uninstall failed also. The error I received while attempting the uninstall was "ADInitError=Setup encountered a problem while validating the state of Active Directory: Could not find any Global Catalog in forest <Domain>.}"
I can ping from DC and client PC's I can connect to AD through ADSIedit.msc, verified server Exchange membership in AD and have verified all prereqs are in place.
Any suggestions on next steps? Reformat Server and start over? I'm not sure what I'm missing.
