<div>
world wide service is running . restarted it too. did not work.<br />
<br />
wanted to try the method as given in the link<br />
<br />
Method 1:<br />
<br />
Close all MMC/EMC instances before proceeding.<br />
Open Registry Editor (regedit) as the user you run the EMC under.<br />
Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE<wbr />\Microsoft<wbr />\ExchangeS<wbr />erver\v14\<wbr />AdminTools<wbr /><br />
Look for value NodeStructureSetting.<br />
If it is there, back it up and then remove it.<br />
<br />
How to backup the above? i am confused as how to do this step.
</div>


<div>
Once you navigate to NodeStructureSetting, highlight it then hit file&gt;export and save the .reg file with a name of your liking to a location you save it to. &nbsp;It saves the registry key with it's tree location in case you need to import it back in.

Can you ping the server in that error. &nbsp;Also go in to services on the server it mentioned and make sure the information store service is started
</div>

<div>
If you disabled ipv6 on the exchange box re-enable it. Also, make sure the server is resolving it's fqdn correctly.
</div>


<div>
ipv6 is already enabled on the server. <br />
how to make sure that the server is resolving its fqdn correctly.
</div>


<div>
The name resolution check can be done by simply running a ping in the command line to the server's short name - i.e., ping EXCHANGE01 - if it resolves the correct IP then that name is good. So, try pinging the full server name - i.e., ping EXCHANGE01.yourdomain.com<br />
<br />
You may also see this problem if you have removed the built-in self-signed certificate (which would need to be regenerated and replaced) or, if you're unable to see a Global Catalog server in the domain. Typically, your GC is your domain controller. Ensure you're &nbsp;using the IP address of your domain DNS server, typically you domain controller, as the first IP in your DNS list - do not use any DNS server other than your domain integrated DNS servers.
</div>


<div>
the name resolution worked fine. no issue with that. ip address of your dns server is all good.<br />
<br />
how and where to check if the feature wcf and http activation are enabled on the exchange server?<br />
<br />
when i opened the powershell. it started to connect the right server... then it gave a error and connected to the wrong server and when i tried to browse the directory where the emt shooter file.. it could not find out?
</div>


<div>
this is the error when i try to connect the EMC to the right server<br />
<br />
Unable to open Exchange Server 2010’s Exchange Management Console with the error: “The attempt to connect to http://exchange.domain.com/PowerShell&nbsp;using &quot;Kerberos&quot; authentication failed: Connecting to remote server failed...”<br />

<div>
yes you are right i am trying tO run the emtshooter from the problematic server.<br />
<br />
the above solution did not help me out.<br />
<br />
the steps of error are given below just to clarify:<br />
<br />
step 1: when i open the emc console.. i see the wrong server there. &nbsp;It shows the CAS SERVER .. not the server name on which the EMC is opened (picture 1)<br />
<br />
step 2: when i right clink on it and click on properties and browse to the correct server (picture 2)<br />
<br />
step 3: i get this error. (picture 3).<br />
<br />
i want the emc to show the right server.<br />
<br />
please note that we have 3 exchange server that acts as CAS.<br />

Software is any set of instructions that directs a computer to perform specific tasks or operations. Computer software consists of programs, libraries and related non-executable data (such as documentation). Computer software is non-tangible, contrasted with computer hardware, which is the physical component of computers. Software written in a machine language is known as "machine code". However, in practice, software is usually written in high-level programming languages than machine language. High-level languages are translated into machine language using a compiler or interpreter or a combination of the two.

Software

Operating systems perform basic tasks, such as recognizing input from the keyboard, sending output to the display screen, keeping track of files and directories on the disk, and controlling peripheral devices such as disk drives and printers. For large systems, the operating system makes sure that different programs and users running at the same time do not interfere with each other. The operating system is also responsible for security, ensuring that unauthorized users do not access the system. Operating systems provide a software platform on top of which other programs, called application programs, can run.
