Management Store Replication to Edge Servers

I have an issue with replication of the Management Store to Edge Servers.

In four separate countries I have a Enterprise FE pool and an Edge Pool segregated by a firewall in each country. Only in one country does the Management Store replicate to the Edge Server successfully (see below).

The bottom two entries with a status of "True" are for the FE and Edge that replicate OK.

From all the FE servers I can telnet to to their partner Edge server on port 4443 and I can browse to the replication service on https://servername.fqdn:4443/replicationwebservice. The certificates look fine too.

If I run the Lync Server logging tool on the failing Edge servers and force replication from a FE server with Invoke-CsManagementStoreReplication there is nothing showing up in the XDS_Replica_Replicator log at all. If I do the same on the good Edge server I get a whole bunch of stuff in the log.

I thought maybe it was a firewall issue but I have subsequently opened up the source IP range on my firewall rules to allow all to speak to the Edge servers' internal interface on 4443. Still nothing.

From the timestamps in the above screenshot you can see that the Edge severs have at least once reported back to the FE servers as the LastStatusReport value is not null but you can also see that that was a long time ago.

Any ideas?

Can you telnet to the Edge Servers in question from the Front End where the CMS is located? Thats basically where the replication will be from :-)

Yes and no. From the CMS I can telnet on port 4443 to 2 out of the 4 Edge servers but replication is failing on 3 out the four.

By any chance you see SHENNEL errors in Eventviewer of the Edge server?. I've see the exact thing happening when the edge internal certificate is not trusted by the Front End server.

Do you have A records in DNS for the Edge server pools that are not replicating? Are you able to do nslookup to those edge servers from CMS host?
