Exchange 2010

Hi Folks
When ever i try to open Exchange 2010 EMC ,am keep on getting this error

" Initialization failed
The  following error occured while searching for the on-premises Exchange Server:
You cannot call a method on a null-valued expression. It was running the command 'Discover-ExchangeServer -UseWIA $true -SuppressError $true -CurrentVersion 'Version 14.3(Build 123.4) "

AND Whenever i try to connect through Exchange PowerShell am getting following errors


VERBOSE: Connecting to INKSG-SVR04.sg.esubstance.com
[] Connecting to remote server failed with the following error message : WinRM cannot proc
ess the request. The following error occured while using Kerberos authentication: A specified logon session does not ex
ist. It may already have been terminated.
 Possible causes are:
  -The user name or password specified are invalid.
  -Kerberos is used when no authentication method and no user name are specified.
  -Kerberos accepts domain user names, but not local user names.
  -The Service Principal Name (SPN) for the remote computer name and port does not exist.
  -The client and remote computers are in different domains and there is no trust between the two domains.
 After checking for the above issues, try the following:
  -Check the Event Viewer for events related to authentication.
  -Change the authentication method; add the destination computer to the WinRM TrustedHosts configuration setting or us
e HTTPS transport.
 Note that computers in the TrustedHosts list might not be authenticated.
   -For more information about WinRM configuration, run the following command: winrm help config. For more information,
 see the about_Remote_Troubleshooting Help topic.

Hi,
Run whoami in Powershell or CMD and make sure that you are logged on to the domain. The error you get indicates that you logged on locally.

Does this happen on any machine that you try and open the EMC or EMS on? Make sure that your DNS settings are set properly. I would also be checking the services on Exchange and the virtual directories as well.

Hi Will
thanks for response,i think you are right ,because my DNS start giving problems as well ,when ever i try to join any computer  to the domain, am getting errors.when i go through  event log i find this

"the machine attempted to join the domain but failed . The error code was 1359

Log Name: System  
Source : Netlogin
Event ID: 4097

And i noted that both DC are not replicated as well .
Any idea about this?

Thanks
Take a look at the following link for further troubleshooting.

It does in fact look like a DNS issue you are having.
