Hi!

I get an error message that relates to the Exchange 2013 Management Pack every 15 minutes in only one of my three management servers:

Event ID:  102
Source:  Health Service Script
Level:   Error
Description:

MbxCountPerMbxDbCollection.ps1 : (65):  $result = $dw.GetDataWarehouseData('sdk.Exchange2013_GetMbxCountPerMbxDb',$spParams)

Can anyone translate this to english? :)

The environment is Windows Server 2012, SCOM 2012R2 CU4 and Exchange MP 15.0.663.19

Hi,

It seems like a known issue in Exchange 2013 MP. Whether the other two management servers have the same OS version as this one?

Yan Li

Hello Yan!

Yes, all are Windows Server 2012 with about the same patch history.
The server with the error event is virtual (VMWARE) and the other two are physical (DELL).
All three are members of the All Management Servers Pool.

Regards
Peter

Would you please try removing and reimport the Exchange 2013 MP and check the result, after remove the MP, please run below powershell command:

Remove-SCOMDisabledClassInstance

This looks like the issue I mentionned here, which is related to powershell versions : https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/fr-FR/d8811683-16bc-4d8a-98e5-5a0f0f8cef47/exchange-2013-mp-bug-when-management-server-running-powershell-v2?forum=operationsmanagermgmtpacks
