TOP SUPPORT ISSUES
[ISSUE 1]
PROBLEM
===========
Unable to generate OAB after failover on CCR cluster
CAUSE
=================
The file distribution service is unable to copy the offline address list
when the generation server is a CCR Cluster.
RESOLUTION
================
This is because by default OAB is only set to generate on the primary node
of CCR cluster. At this point the only work around to fix this would be to
manually update the registry value to
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSExchangeSA\Parameters\Server-Name\EnableOabGenOnThisNode
="ThisNodeName"
Or
As an alternative resolution you can move the Exchange resources back to the
Primary node of the CCR Cluster and Update the OAB
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
========================
OAB Generation on a cluster server fails with event id 9395 or 9396

[ISSUE 2]
PROBLEM
===============
The ExBPA performance base line test option in the Health check is not
gathering any performance related data for Exchange 2007 Servers. It states
that this will take 2 hours to complete and completes in less than 5
Minutes.
RESOLUTION
===========
This is a by Design feature of ExBPA on Exchange 2007. The performance base
line option is disabled (via code path) if the Exchange server version is
Exchange 2007 or higher. The UI was not updated to reflect this and hence
the option appears to still be available to select. The code that the ExBPA
follows is in the Exbpa.config.xml file and contains this line with disabled
the feature even if it is selected in the UI:
<Object Type="If" Key1="starts-with('%EXVERSION%', 'Version 6')"
Name="Performance Data" Category="Performance" Level="5" Display="Hide">
