Defect ID

Known Issues

EXC-1527

When host provider has been selected as VMware cartridge/Hyper-V cartridge, though the host provider will be changed to IC /Active Directory cartridge later, datastore metrics still display on Exchange Explorer Resource Utilization dashboard.

n/a

Metrics that do not have generally accepted thresholds for alarms are configured as trend alarms.
Workaround: The significance of trends is dependent on the environment and default settings may generate many meaningless alarms in a busy environment while failing to fire at all in a smaller environment. We recommend that the administrator allow the agent to collect values over an adequate period of time to observe normal performance and then adjust trend alarms to fire at suitable thresholds.

Third party known issues

Third party known issues

The following is a list of third party issues known to exist at the time of this release.

Defect ID

Known Issues

EXC-37

The automatic reboot feature of Windows updates may not allow enough time for the FMS to shut down gracefully. This can result in broken agents when the service is restarted.

Workaround: Manually stop the FMS before performing updates.

EXC-31

Exchange services may start before the AutoDiscovery/AutoPurge (ADAP) service causing a failure to transfer Exchange performance libraries to the WMI repository. This results in 0x80041010 (class not found) errors in the log when queries run against these libraries.

Workaround: To refresh the WMI repository, run wmiadap.exe /f at the command line after Exchange services have started.
