Test-mailflow inconsistent results   

Hi,

we recently installed a 2-node Exchange Server 2007 cluster, which is 
working correctly except for the following: every now and then the 
Test-mailflow cmdlet returns a failure.
I can run the test twice in a short period of time, once getting a success, 
the other getting a failure: what could be the cause?

Thanks,

Francesco

Hi,

running the cmdlet, sometimes it reports a success, sometimes Failure, after 
a long time, but even with the -debug option it doesn't show any more info.

Thanks,

Francesco

Re: Test-mailflow inconsistent results   

ok,

here it is.

First try:

C:\>Test-Mailflow -Identity <EXCHVSNAME>

TestMailflowResult         MessageLatencyTime 
IsRemoteTest
------------------         ------------------                      ------------
Success                    00:00:01.3500211 
False

Second try (immediately after the first one, same cluster node):

About 5 minutes wait, then

TestMailflowResult         MessageLatencyTime 
IsRemoteTest
------------------         ------------------                      ------------
*FAILURE*                  00:00:00 
False
