The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Issue validating Front End Server

Asked by bignath in MS Live Communications Server

Tags: , ,

Hey All.

I am having a problem with validating a front end install.  Basically I will give you the run down.

Everything is working fine, ie. IM and Calls etc etc, clients have access to address book etc etc but when verifying the front end server I get this

DNS Resolution succeeded: 192.168.1.205
TLS connect failed: 192.168.1.205:5061 Error Code: 0x274d No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it

Now this is my bloody exchange servers IP address.  I digged around and apparently my boss had tried to install OCS on our exchange box a few months back but never fully completed the install and then subsequently uninstalled it.

I then went to rtcservice, rtccomponentservice and rtcguestuser and removed the duplicate SPN names for the MX box.  I have restarted and checked the spns on both the ocs box and the mail box and they are all set to normal but when i run the checkspn test in the reskit it is still coming up invalid.

This is the output from the spn for the ocs box.

C:\Program Files\Support Tools>setspn -l lesvrap01
Registered ServicePrincipalNames for CN=LESVRAP01,OU=LE Servers,DC=he
DC=livestockexchange,DC=com,DC=au:
    http/pool1.headquarters.livestockexchange.com.au
    MSSQLSvc/LESVRAP01.headquarters.livestockexchange.com.au:1433
    HOST/LESVRAP01
    HOST/LESVRAP01.headquarters.livestockexchange.com.au


The SPN for rtccomponentservice

kspn.vbs /list /u:rtccomponentservice
Microsoft (R) Windows Script Host Version 5.6
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation 1996-2001. All rights reserved.

LDAP://CN=rtccomponentservice,CN=Users,DC=headquarters,DC=livestockexcha
om,DC=au
http/LESVRAP01.headquarters.livestockexchange.com.au

SPN for RTCService

kspn.vbs /list /u:rtcservice
Microsoft (R) Windows Script Host Version 5.6
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation 1996-2001. All rights reserved.

LDAP://CN=rtcservice,CN=Users,DC=headquarters,DC=livestockexchange,D
sip/LESVRAP01.headquarters.livestockexchange.com.au

So I am wondering the SPN names for these services should they be set to the pool FQDN or the server FQDN ?

The main issue I am trying to solve is that when the communicator clients are trying to access the outlook calendar settings their credentials arent being taken.

I think this is tied to the incorrect server problem in my front end validation.

I am at wits end, any ideas you have I am all ears.

Cheers

Nathan
