Message Text

The Microsoft Exchange Transport Log Search service started but it is not functional because of an RPC server startup error.

Explanation

This Error event indicates that the Microsoft Exchange Transport Log Search service failed to start because of a Remote Procedure Call (RPC) server error.

The Microsoft Exchange Transport Log Search service is used by the Get-MessageTrackingLog and Search-MessageTrackingReport cmdlets in the Exchange Management Shell, the Delivery Reports tool in the Exchange Control Panel, and the Tracking Log Explorer tool in the Exchange Management Console to search the message tracking logs on the Hub Transport server, Edge Transport server, or Mailbox server.

This error can be caused if the service is unable to access the location where the message tracking logs are stored due to an authentication failure.

The location of the message tracking logs is controlled by the MessageTrackingLogPath parameter on the Set-TransportServer cmdlet or the Set-MailboxServer cmdlet. By default, the message tracking logs are located at C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V14\TransportRoles\Logs\MessageTracking.

User Action

To resolve this error, do one or more of the following:

  • Restart the Microsoft Exchange Transport Log Search service.

  • Verify that the RPC service is started.

  • Verify the directory that is specified by the MessageTrackingLogPath parameter on the Set-TransportServer cmdlet or the Set-MailboxServer cmdlet exists and has the following permissions assigned:

    • Administrators: Full Control

    • System: Full Control

    • Network Service: Read, Write, and Delete Subfolders and Files
