Details

Product Version	14.0 (Exchange 2010)
Event ID	1006
Event Source	MSExchange Message Security

Rule Name	Renewal of EdgeSync credential failed for an Edge Transport server.

Explanation

This Error event indicates that renewal of the EdgeSync replication account (ESRA) has failed for the specified server with the noted transient exception. The ESRA is used by a Hub Transport server to authenticate to the Edge Transport server in order to replicate Active Directory directory service data to the Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services (AD LDS) by using the Microsoft Exchange EdgeSync service. To comply with password policies, these credentials must be renewed periodically. Each Hub Transport server uses a unique set of credentials during the EdgeSync process.

User Action

To resolve this error, do the following:

Because this is a transient exception, no action is required. If you receive this error message frequently, you should remove the Edge Subscription from the Exchange organization by using the Remove-EdgeSubscription cmdlet in the Exchange Management Shell on a Hub Transport server. After you have removed the Edge Subscription from the Exchange organization, use the New-EdgeSubscription cmdlet to resubscribe the Edge Transport server.
Verify that the Microsoft Exchange server that logged this event can communicate with one or more Active Directory servers available in the organization.
Review the Application log and System log on your Exchange 2010 servers for related events. For example, events that occur immediately before and after this event may provide more information about the root cause of this error.
To review detailed information about the cause of this alert, use the Operations Console in Operations Manager. For more information, see the introduction to this topic.
