SCOM cannot discover exchange 2013 edge servers with the following error

 System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x8007054B): The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted.

Wondering if you need a run as account in order to do this.  Have you taken a look at the updated mp guide?

Yes, I have configured the run as account and it worked great with all exchange servers except edge servers as they are in a workgroup .

Ok so the workgroup is the problem.  I have seen discussions around this on these forums, look for run as account + workgroup.  Might be a work around.

Hi,

Here is a similar thread for Echange 2010 MP adge monitoring, the resolution is to add a registry path, it should work for Exchange 2013 MP, please refer to it:

Exchange 2010 Edge Transport - Not being detected by SCOM agent?

Remeber to backup the registry before changing it.

I found this before and it didn't work with me 

anyone try this MP and worked with him.

Hi,

Please expand the registry for the edge server, expand the below path:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ExchangeServer\v14\ServerRole
Under that there will be the "ConfiguredVersion" subkey which tells the exact version.

If there is no such subkey, please create it, and set the value according to your Exchange version, you may refer to the below link to find the correct version for your Exchange server:

Hi,

I have the same problem.  I use the last Exchange 2013 MP version.  My edge are in a DMZ/Workgroup.

The SCOM agent is deployed and working fine. But the server "Exchange Edge" are not discovered in SCOM.  I have try the tweak to add the registry key HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Netlogon\Parameters\SteName and DynamicSiteName whtout success.

The MP Run As Account work fine for my Workgroup machine.  But the script detection always return:

MicrosoftExchangeDiscovery.ps1 : (198):   $res= $ds.FindOne()  

 System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x8007054B): The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted.

Thanks,

Steve

Hi,

Make sure you enter the correct registry name, not SteName, should be sitename.

In addition, please open another new thread in this forum for your issue.

Then see it error;
