Exchane 2016 – “Topology Provider coundn’t find the Microsoft Exchange Active Directory Topology service on end point” After Subnet/IP Change

Random

Recently we changed the IP and Subnet of an exchange 2016 server. Trying to Open ECP Showed the Error :

Topology Provider coundn’t find the Microsoft Exchange Active Directory Topology service on end point

This is due to the Server Microsoft Exchange Active Directory Topology not starting

The service was not starting because of the new Subnet was not listed in Active Directory Sites and Services which meant Exchange was not sited aware

Add the domain and restart the server

How to Bypass Vcenter HSTS Chrome Error

Random

Recently we started getting errors for our Vcenter address which was a subdomain of our main domain which had a proper certificate for the website. Chrome picked this up and then uses HSTS to make sure all subdomains have a valid cert ( Without an easy option to Bypass ) 

However to bypass just type either word below when presented with the error

“thisisunsafe” or “badidea“

Speedtest – Latency Test Error

Networking

Recently on setting up a new internet connection, I ran a speed test via ( speedtest.net ) with produced the following error

Latency Test Error – Could not connect to the test server A firewall could be blocking the connection or the server might be having some issues

Pinging Google DNS Server 8.8.8.8 came up with a sold under 15m response , strange?

I tried playing around with the MTU to no avail either

Turns out this is actually a DNS issue, the local DNS servers had forwarders set to their Old ISP , so change the DNS to the new ISP or Google fixed this!

crazydomains.com.au – is not permitted to relay through this server without authentication

Random

Recently had a customer use crazydomains for their Emails. Incoming email stopped with the error below

550 Please turn on SMTP Authentication in your mail client. mail-wm1-f50.google.com [209.85.128.50]:38049 is not permitted to relay through this server without authentication.

I check the MX / NS servers to make sure they were pointing a valid records.

Called support and they asked me to remove off Automatically Detect and change to Local Mail Exchanger , it took 15 minutes to apply and starting working again. Guessing their internal DNS had an issue
