Exchange 2013 powershell errors out, and Exchange 2013 ECP doesn’t work correctly

Exchange 2013 powershell errors out, and Exchange 2013 ECP doesn’t work correctly

After Exchange 2013 system is updated or after reboot ECP / OWA and other IIS pages appear blank. Also Powershell is not able to open up, and event log is full of errors.

Problem Description

Exchange 2013 powershell errors out, and Exchange 2013 ECP  doesn't work correctly (users get a login screen then a blank page). Moreover there is an EVENT being logged in Administrative Events (Event ID 15021, Source HttpEvent):

An error occurred while using SSL configuration for endpoint 0.0.0.0:444.  The error status code is contained within the returned data.

Error in PowerShell:

VERBOSE: Connecting to MAIL2. New-PSSession : [mail2] Connecting to remote server mail2 failed with the following error messa ge : [ClientAccessServer=MAIL2,BackEndServer=mail2,RequestId=fd9724cd-19fb-4842-b30d-c9c4b976119f,TimeStamp =2015-03-24 18:55:58] [FailureCategory=Cafe-SendFailure] For more information, see the about_Remote_Troubleshooting He lp topic. At line:1 char:1 + New-PSSession -ConnectionURI “$connectionUri” -ConfigurationName Microsoft CategoryInfo : OpenError: (System.Manageme….RemoteRunspace:RemoteRunspace) [New-PSSession], PSRemotin gTransportException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : -2144108477,PSSessionOpenFailed

Event ID 15021

Cause: This event is logged when an error occurred while using SSL configuration for socket address.The error status code is contained within the returned data.

Event_15021_1

Event_15021_2

Solution

Solution to solve it is to replace the certificate for 0.0.0.0:444 with the correct one. For some reason one of the certificates is being used instead of the one that is being served on standard https port.

  1. Click Start, point to All Programs, click Accessories, right-click Command Prompt, clickRun as administrator, and then click Continue.
  2. Type netsh http show sslcert, and then press ENTER to view the installed certificates.
  3. This will show the certs. Make a copy of the output to safe place.
  4. Under IP:port 127.0.0.1:443 note the certificate hash and application ID.
  5. Type netsh http delete sslcert ipport=0.0.0.0:444 (do this command even if the port doesn't exists on the list), and then press ENTER to delete the incorrectly installed certificate.
  6. netsh http add sslcert ipport=0.0.0.0:444 certhash=<noted_hash> appid=”<noted_appid>”, and then press ENTER to reinstall the certificate.
  7. Reboot server

That's it. After rebooting certificate should be in it's place and content from Exchange being served correctly.

Azure Health
Getting Azure Health by parsing HTML using PSParseHTML
Some time ago I’ve wrote PowerShell way to get all information about Office 365 Service Health, and if you were thinking that I would try the same concept for Azure Services you were right. However, I failed. This is because Office 365 Health can be gathered using Microsoft Graph API, and Azure Health information, as far as I know, is not available in the form I wanted it. Azure Status is available as part of Azure Status website. Contrary to Office 365 health you don’t have to login to your Office 365 tenant to read it.

Getting Verified badge next to your GitHub commits in VS Code
A bit over two years ago, I started posting my PowerShell code as modules on GitHub. Initially, I planned to have them hosted on my website, but few people asked to post it there, and they were right. It would be fairly hard for me to keep my code up to date on my website and, at the same time, let people submit bug reports or help with some PR. It was the right decision! Now that I’ve worked for over two years on GitHub as a daily driver, I wanted to get a new green badge that’s shown on GitHub when you edit some code. I don’t know if you ever noticed, but if you write any code, text file directly via the GitHub.com webpage, your commits always have Verified badge next to them.

Dashimo
Meet Dashimo – PowerShell Generated Dashboard
Today I wanted to introduce a little product that I’ve created in the last few weeks called Dashimo. It doesn’t cover everything I wanted from it (feature wise), but it already can be used in production. Therefore, I thought it would be a good idea to get some feedback on whether I should spend some more time on it or throw it in the dumpster. Dashimo joins it’s older brother Statusimo of PowerShell modules allowing an easy way to build HTML output. If it will feel familiar, it’s because it was inspired with Bradley Wyatt PowerShell script he did. It gave me the idea of how I would like to build something similar but in a bit different way then he did, with much more flexibility. Still, if it wasn’t for him, the idea wouldn’t be there, therefore you should send him your thanks.

Difference between GetTempFileName() and GetRandomFileName() that got my ass kicked
Today’s story is about me making assumptions on how things work based on the method’s name. As the blog post says, I want to focus on two similar methods – GetTempFileName() and GetRandomFileName(), when using PowerShell. Still, since those methods are .NET based, it applies to a whole range of other languages – C#, F#, VisualBasic, and all others that I’ve never used.

Office 365 Health Service
PowerShell way to get all information about Office 365 Service Health
Office 365 is an excellent cloud service. But like any service, there’s some infrastructure behind it that has to be cared for. Since this is Cloud, Microsoft does this for you. But any problems Microsoft has to have some impact on your end users. And you may want to have that visibility for your users. Microsoft provides this to Admins when they login to the portal, but while useful you may want to use that data in other ways than those planned by Microsoft.

Powerful hashtables
How I didn’t know how powerful and fast hashtables are
I’ve been using PowerShell for a long while now using Hashtables, OrderedDictionary, and other types of data types in PowerShell, but I never paid attention to how powerful those are. And I don’t mean your general knowledge about hashtables that is already covered by Kevin Marquette in his article Everything you wanted to know about Hashtables or my article PowerShell – Few tricks about HashTables and Arrays I wish I knew when I started. Let’s find out, how Powerful they are, shall we?

Tricks I wish I knew
PowerShell – Few tricks about HashTables and Arrays I wish I knew when I started
I’ve been working with PowerShell for a while now and like with most things I do I’ve learned it by doing and not by reading. I had a job to do, and since I don’t like doing things over and over, I thought it’s time to learn and do it in PowerShell. Problem with that approach is that you take bits and pieces from PowerShell scripts online that sometimes do the job but not necessarily pay attention to details. And it’s fine. I’ve learned a lot from reading someone else’s work, and I learn something new every day. Hopefully, it will be useful to you to some extent.

The only command you will ever need to understand and fix your Group Policies (GPO)
The only command you will ever need to understand and fix your Group Policies (GPO)
I’ve been working on cleaning up Group Policies for a couple of months. While it may seem trivial, things get complicated when you’re tasked with managing 5000 GPOs created over 15 years by multiple teams without any best practices in mind. While working on GPOZaurr (my new PowerShell module), I’ve noticed that the more code I wrote to manage those GPOs, the more I knew passing this knowledge to admins who will be executing this on a weekly/monthly basis is going to be a challenge. That’s why I’ve decided to follow a similar approach as my other Active Directory testing module called Testimo. I’ve created a single command that analyses Group Policies using different methods and shows views from different angles to deliver the full picture. On top of that, it provides a solution (or it tries to) so that it’s fairly easy to fix – as long as you agree with what it proposes.
