Hello All,
I know, there's been a lot of questions regarding this problem, but none of the responses has helped me with an issue. At my Customer's there's a Windows Server 2012 R2 machine with Exchange 2013 Std on it. A previous IT-support company has tried to install a MS Lync server on the same machine which has obviously failed (the IIS ports 80 and 443 are already occupied by Exchange). Then they've left it 'as is'. Now I have a serious problem as I can't connect to Exchange Management Shell.
The error is:
VERBOSE: Connecting to EXCH2K13.xxl.local. New-PSSession : [exch2k13.xxl.local] Connecting to remote server exch2k13.xxl.local failed with the following error message : The WinRM client cannot process the request. It cannot determine the cont ent type of the HTTP response from the destination computer. The content type is absent or invalid. For more information, see the about_Remote_Troubleshooting Help topic. At line:1 char:1+ New-PSSession -ConnectionURI "$connectionUri" -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Excha ...+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+ CategoryInfo : OpenError: (System.Manageme....RemoteRunspace:RemoteRunspace) [New-PSSession], PSRemotingTransportException+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : -2144108297,PSSessionOpenFailed Failed to connect to an Exchange server in the current site.
I've looked for the settings in IIS (WSMAN, Kerberos auth, applicationHost.config etc.) and nothing seem's to help. This is quite hudge issue as it's the only Exchange server in my Customer's environment so any failure of it will simply kill whole company...
There's another issue, that I think is related to this problem: Exchange Toolbox isn't starting (MMC error) that I've read is also caused by WSMAN (here it is described: https://www.msxforum.de/community/index.php/Thread/12664-Exchange-2010-WSMan-error-10153/ ).
In the event log i can find an event 10153:
The WSMan IIS module failed to read configuration. The error received was -2144108477: %%-2144108477 Plik XML konfiguracji jest nieprawidłowy. Oczekiwany element XML: "Plugin" nie został znaleziony..
translated: [The XML configuration file is incorrect. An expected XML element: "Plugin" was not found...] User Action Make sure both the schema and validation files are present and valid.
I'm getting bold because of this problem and it will be soon a critical one.
Thank you very much in advance and best regards,
Tom
