451 4.4.0 DNS query failed

The Problem

For whatever reason, Exchange (and DNS) is hyper sensitive to a DNS domain that provides a bogus response (say one Name Server is healthy, the other is not). It appears to be an issue where we need to wait until the DNS TTL expires or, we perform the 'solution' below. This is a temporary measure as we work with the end user domain, to find out what is going on with their DNS (in both cases, after flushing DNS locally and my AD DNS server, I would get a different DNS NS result, and sometimes an MX record, sometimes not … strange, but their problem). However, Exchange 2007 seems to be especially sensitive to this…



For example, with the domain below, here is the error I've been experiencing (in the Exchange 2007 Queue…) – 451 4.4.0 DNS query failed







The Solution

Or should I say, the workaround. The solution is contact the destination DNS/domain provider and have them fix their problems (though perhaps a future fix from Microsoft/Exchange will resolve this, or maybe they have and I'm somehow unable to stumble across the answer). However, the workaround is…


■Flush your Active Directory DNS Cache (to do this, you'll need to have 'advanced' turned on, the View option in DNS)






On your Exchange 2007 Server(s), flush your local DNS Cache



IPCONFIG /FLUSHDNS



For me, repeatedly, when I click 'retry' in the Exchange 2007 Message queue, the message leaves immediately. Sure enough, a few hours later I have a crap record but it does at allow the messages to flow. Now to get the target domain/DNS provider to cooperate and recognize they have a problem, of some sort…

Controlla anche connettore d'invio in trasporto Hub, nella scheda rete, che sia flagggata la casella Utilizza le impostazioni di ricerca dns esterno nel server di trasporto

OracleVm re-Register host

Hi Honza,

just tried it:

Before:
# /opt/ovs-agent-latest/utils/repos.py -l
[ * ] b2638dcd-fa49-4646-a7da-83e91e7e26c4 => /dev/hdb1
# du /var/ovs/mount/B2638DCDFA494646A7DA83E91E7E26C4/running_pool
2316896 /var/ovs/mount/B2638DCDFA494646A7DA83E91E7E26C4/running_pool/30_OEL1

Then:
# /opt/ovs-agent-latest/utils/cleanup.py
This is a cleanup script for ovs-agent.
It will try to do the following:

*) stop o2cb heartbeat
*) offline o2cb
*) remove o2cb configuration file
*) umount ovs-agent storage repositories
*) cleanup ovs-agent local database

Would you like to continue? [y/N] y
Cleanup done.

No Repos anymore:
# /opt/ovs-agent-latest/utils/repos.py -l

Create New:
/opt/ovs-agent-latest/utils/repos.py -n /dev/hdb1
[ NEW ] b2638dcd-fa49-4646-a7da-83e91e7e26c4 => /dev/hdb1
/opt/ovs-agent-latest/utils/repos.py -r b2638dcd-fa49-4646-a7da-83e91e7e26c4

Not mounted yet:
# df -k

And data still there:

2316896 /var/ovs/mount/B2638DCDFA494646A7DA83E91E7E26C4/running_pool/30_OEL1

However as noted above: The /OVS link to the /var/ovs/mount point will be created when you register the server with OVM Manager.
All additional data will be left on the device.

1. Turn OFF VMware HA on Cluster Feature setting.
2. Enable VMware HA setting again.
