Our legacy 2007 exchange migration has been completed.  It has been cleanly uninstalled and the server removed from the domain.

For whatever reason in Exchange 2013 we are still getting these event message periodically.

EVENT #	3769234
EVENT LOG	Application
EVENT TYPE	Warning
OPCODE	Info
SOURCE	MSExchange Front End HTTP Proxy
CATEGORY	Core
EVENT ID	3005
DATE / TIME	3/12/2015 10:30:08 AM
COMPUTERNAME	EMAIL
MESSAGE	[Ews] Marking ClientAccess 2010 server mail.domain.com (https://mail.domain.com) as unhealthy due to exception: System.Net.WebException: The operation has timed out at System.Net.HttpWebRequest.GetResponse() at Microsoft.Exchange.HttpProxy.ProtocolPingStrategyBase.Ping(Uri url)

We get 8 of these messages every so often, and each one is a slightly different tail end of the URL: /PowerShell, /owa/Calendar, /rpc/rpcproxy.dll,  /owa, /ecp, /OAB, /Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync, /EWS.

Some of those aren't even available in Exchange 2007!

I double checked in 2013 ECP and there are no other exchange servers found besides the 2013 one.

Running Get-WebServicesVirtualDirectory only shows the proper 2013 exchange server.  So no where should it be thinking the old server needs a health check.

How can I clean up these periodic event log messages?

Hi KJSTech1,

Thank you for your question.

We could run ADsiedit.msc in run, then navigate

Configuration [<domainController>.contoso.com]> CN=Configuration,DC=contoso,DC=com> CN=Services> CN=Microsoft Exchange> CN=<OrganizationName> CN=Administrative Group> CN=Exchange Administrative Group>CN=Server

We could check if legacy Exchange server is existed in this container, we could remove it.

Notice: we should backup AD database or ask for a help to MS engineer before we modify AD database using ADsiedit.msc.

If not or the issue persist, we could refer to the following link to upgrade Exchange 2013 to Exchange 2013 SP1 by ty the following  link:

If there are any questions regarding this issue, please be free to let me know. 

Best Regard,

Jim
