Hello. I'm new to SCOM and need some help with errors I am receiving on our OM server. We have 2 servers: OM and the DB server. The OM server is hosting all the roles with the exception of the DB server. The event log shows a few different errors with the same Event ID:717 Event Type: Warning Event Source: MSExchangeMonitoringCorrelation Event Category: General Event ID: 717 Date: 1/24/2011 Time: 11:05:26 AM User: N/A Computer: RFOM1 Description: Connection with the Operations Manager Root Management Server has failed.

Hi Dan Have you imported the Exchange 2010 Management Packs? And are you getting this error constantly? It looks like (with the last event) that it has completed and that you might just need to wait a while longer while all the discoveries run. http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/operationsmanagermgmtpacks/thread/9d8cf1da-5931-4053-925c-c0843781428b/ http://blogs.technet.com/b/kevinholman/archive/2010/10/15/clustering-the-exchange-2010-correlation-engine-service.aspx Cheers GrahamView OpsMgr tips and tricks at http://systemcentersolutions.wordpress.com/

The Exchange 2010 MP has been installed for a couple of weeks. I'm actually trying to troubleshoot a lot of Exchange 2010 alerts (500 over the weekend). The alerts open then close. The Exchange system seems fine when I run the Diagnostic commands locally on the exchange servers. I'm thinking something is up with my OM server. THanks Dan

The Exchange 2010 MP is due a few fixes, hopefully quite soon, which should make it less noisy. It introduced the concept of a correlation engine which has brought along a few nuances - the By Example series give a good run through of known issues: http://www.systemcentercentral.com/BlogDetails/tabid/143/indexid/67924/Default.aspx http://thoughtsonopsmgr.blogspot.com/2010/10/exhange-2010-mp-checklist-of-what-to-do.html http://blogs.technet.com/b/kevinholman/archive/2011/01/22/exchange-2010-mp-causes-config-churn.aspx Cheers GrahamView OpsMgr tips and tricks at http://systemcentersolutions.wordpress.com/
