"Your Exchange Server Configuration is not supported" Error Code 3

Exchange 2013 and Sharepoint 2013
--------------------------------------
While configuring Site mailbox for Sharepoint 2013 and Exchange 2013 as per Technet Article, Configure site mailboxes in SharePoint Server 2013


and after running scripts, 


(a) .\Set-SiteMailboxConfig.ps1 -ExchangeSiteMailboxDomain domain.com –ExchangeAutodiscoverdomain autodiscover.domain.com -WebApplicationUrl https://SharepointserverFQDN -Force


Things need to take care in the above command for Switch
 -ExchangeSiteMailboxDomain      should be mentioned DomainFQDN and in option 
-ExchangeAutodiscoverDomain,     it should be Autodiscover domain
To findout Autodiscover domain, Run the following command from Exchange Management Shell
(a) Test-OutlookWebServices -id emailaddress.com
(b) Get-WebServicesVirtualDirectory
and 


And then run the following Scripts
(b) .\Configure-EnterprisePartnerApplication.ps1 -ApplicationType Sharepoint –AuthMetadataUrl  https://sharepointFQDN.domain.com/_layouts/15/metadata/json/1






we are getting error

The Hub Site Mailbox
 "Your Exchange Server Configuration is not supported"

Correlation ID : 3e55a09c-fc49-8040-e119-a2722ea02855, Error Code 3


Your Exchange Server Configuration is not supported

Please note that Correlation ID might be different for each Sharepoint Site so good to be looked into the Error Code

In my case, i found out that .\Set-SiteMailboxConfig.ps1 Script switch -ExchangeSiteMailboxDomain "Email address" , Changing the switch ExchangeSiteMailboxDomain to "Domain.com", 

It Resolves the issue

What Is RPC

What Is RPC?
RPC is an interprocess communication (IPC) method that is used by clients and servers to communicate with each other. Simply put, RPC is used by programs, typically on a client computer, to execute a program on a server computer. For example, Microsoft® Outlook® clients communicate with Microsoft Exchange Server using RPC. The client computer sends a message to the server computer with certain arguments. The server responds to the client with a message that contains the results of the executed program.
Integral to this process is the endpoint—the name, port, or group of ports on a computer that is monitored by a server for incoming client requests. More specifically, it is a network-specific address of a server process that is used for RPCs.
The Endpoint Mapper, which is part of the RPC subsystem, is responsible for responding to the clients’ requests to resolve dynamic endpoints. In some situations, Endpoint Mapper is also responsible for dynamically assigning endpoints to servers.
Another important RPC component is the Locator Service. It maintains a list of RPC services and servers on the network. A Windows® client connects to the domain controller over the Server Message Block (SMB) ports (TCP 139 and 445) and searches for RPC services or servers through the Locator Service.
Most built-in Windows services communicate with each other using RPC. For example, certificate services, DCOM, FRS, MSMQ, MAPI, and Active Directory® Replication Service use RPC for communication. Therefore, if the RPC service is not functioning properly on a network, you may experience any number of communication problems.

Exchange 2010: How to Delete the First Database and Move the System Mailboxes

Before removing the Last Database from the system Confirm the location
(a) Transaction log file
(b) Catalogue file


The First database contains the SystemMailboxes which are the Arbitration mailbox(es).
We have to move these system mailboxes to another database before of remove the Default Database.
1. Find the Arbitration Mailbox using the Exchange Management Shell (EMS):
Get-Mailbox -Arbitration | Where {$_.Name -like "SystemMailbox*" } | ft –wrap

2. Now create a new move request in order to move the system mailboxes to another mailbox database:
New-MoveRequest -Identity "SystemMailbox{1f05a927-32d1-4e19-8ea5-67eba859f541-yourGUID}" -TargetDatabase "dbxxxx"
3. Verify whether the move request completed:
Get-MoveRequest
4. Now remove the move request
Remove-MoveRequest -Identity "the name of the request like Microsoft Exchange Approval Assistant"

To resolve this issue

===============

researching on issue, suggests you install Latest update and since Windows Server is x64 bit so /4GB switch is also not an option to check. 


Found no Antivirus or any third party device except Storage driver and NIC driver


EXBPA is also not helping indicating towards any issues.


Increased the diagnostic logging on MsExchange Store to expert from EMC, alternatively you can also increased the diagnostic logging from Registry key or from EMS.


From Shell

Set-EventlogLevel "servername\MsExchange Store Driver" -Level Expert

I stopped all the Exchange related service on the server and restarted the Information store, It's not crashing so i have to find what could be causing the crash.

Since the only Exchange related service is running is "information store" so thought of starting Transport Service

Now, Started Transport service, MSExchange store Crashed, so changed the "Data" folder under Transport Roles, Location could be "Microsoft\Exchange server\Transport Roles\Data\Queue" so here i renamed the Data folder to "Old Data" and restart Transport service, no issues now, MsExchange Information Store is not crashing


Gradually started all the services and information store is not crashing.
