Prior to performing the validation in the attached Excel spreadsheet, first create two Notes and two Outlook test accounts (or use existing accounts):

Operations

Basic Operational Information

This section covers some common commands that can be run on the Domino Coex server console to determine FreeBusy’s status.

The BTFreebusy server task is invoked by a simple load command or by its inclusion in the list of the ServerTasks parameter values in the Domino Coexistence Server’s NOTES.INI file.

Start the server task manually by using the following command:

Domino Coex Server Console

load BTFreeBusy

After the BTFreeBusy server task is loaded, your console should return something like this:

Troubleshooting issues

Account Expiration

If the BTAvailability test page fails, this is likely due to the BTFreeBusy account’s Active Directory password expiring. To resolve this issue, after the AD password has been reset, go to the SetFBCred tool and update the password within FreeBusy. See the SetFBCred Utility appendix for more information.

 

Troubleshooting FreeBusy on the Domino Coex Server

To enable logging:

  1. Change the following values in the Notes.ini file on the Domino Coexistence server:

  • BTCOEX_LOG=8

  • BTCOEX_LOGDATA=15

  • BTCOEX_SERVER_LOG=6

  • BTCOEX_CLIENT_LOG=6

  1. To start logging, save the Notes.ini file and restart the Domino Coex server:

  • FreeBusy logs are stored in the <Domino program directory>\logs folder

    • BTServer.log contains information about FreeBusy requests from Exchange to Domino

    • BTClient.log contains information about FreeBusy requests from Domino to Exchange

  1. To test Domino to Exchange FreeBusy connectivity:

    • At the Domino Coex server console, enter the following command:

PowerShell

tell btfreebusy test <any valid Exchange user’s SMTP address>

  • When the FreeBusy lookup completes, search the BTClient.log for “error”

  1. To test Exchange to Domino FreeBusy connectivity:

    • On the Windows Coex server, open a web browser and go to the BT Availability Router test page to request any valid Domino user’s Free/Busy time:

      “http://autodiscover.domino.<your Domino Domain>/btrouter/exchange.asmx”

    • From the list of options, click on BT_TestConnectivity

      • Enter valid Domino users in the email1 and email2 textboxes and click Invoke:

    • When the FreeBusy lookup completes, search the BTServer.log for “error”.  (If the problem is connectivity related, there will not be any request logged in BTServer.log.)

Network Connectivity

Free/Busy and Scheduling processing is time sensitive for both Notes and Outlook. Network connectivity delays can cause intermittent performance of FreeBusy and Schedule look ups in Outlook and Notes.

The FreeBusy logs can be checked for requests being made and returned to either Domino or Exchange / Office 365.

In the event that there are network delays causing intermittent failures the network connections between the Domino Integration server, Windows IIS Integration Server and the target Exchange Server or Office 365 tenant should be verified. Binary Tree support does not cover networking validation or network device checks, these should be completed by the customer networking team with the relevant network device vendor support for routers, firewalls and load balancers if used.

Appendix A. Adding a Root Trusted Signed Certificate to the FreeBusy Operating System(s)

Free/Busy requests that are coming from Exchange go through Domino’s HTTP task, which fully supports SSL when properly configured. You can refer to the Domino Administrator help or HCL support for configuration steps.

Free/Busy requests going to Exchange cannot be made using Domino’s HTTP task, so the BTFreeBusy task is used. If, on the Domino Coex server, you are able to open Internet Explorer and access the Windows Coex server root site without any SSL error, BT FreeBusy is configured correctly.

  1. From the server, open Internet Explorer and browse to the Windows Coexistence Server via the HTTPS protocol:

    • https://autodiscover.domino.<YourSMTPDomain.com>/

  2. Click on the lock icon                    on the browser bar, and then select View certificates:

  3. Next, click on the Certification Path tab, the root certificate signer, and then click View Certificate:

  1. When the root certificate is open, click on the Details tab, and then click Copy to File:


    It is assumed that the installer knows how to install the SSL certificate on the Domino and Windows Coex servers.

    The Domino SSL certificate will need to be added to the Certificate Store on the Windows Coexistence server.

     

Appendix B.  SetFBCred Utility

The SetFBCred utility is used to configure the credentials for the three FreeBusy IIS components: AvailabilityService and AvailabilityRouter.

The SetFBCred utility should be run from the C:\Program Files\BinaryTree\CMT for Coexistence\AvailabilityService\bin directory.
