Explanation

This Error event indicates the Microsoft Exchange Transport Log Search service could not read the current local computer account name from Active Directory.

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 may indicate a general problem accessing Active Directory on a domain controller.

User Action

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

• Make sure that the Exchange server that logged this event can connect to the configuration domain controller. Use the Ping or PathPing command-line tools to test basic connectivity. Use Ping to isolate network hardware problems and incompatible configurations. Use PathPing to detect packet loss over multiple-hop trips. For more information, see Microsoft Knowledge Base article 325487, Advanced network adapter troubleshooting for Windows workstations.

• Run the Dcdiag command-line tool to test domain controller health. To do this, run dcdiag /s:[Domain Controller Name] at a command prompt on the Exchange server. Use the output of Dcdiag to discover the root cause of any failures or warnings that it reports. For more information, see Dcdiag Overview at the Windows Server TechCenter.

• Make sure that the configuration domain controller that the Exchange server connects to is registered correctly on the Domain Name System (DNS) server. For more information, see How DNS Support for Active Directory Works.

• Examine related events in the Application log and System log for Warning events and Error events that come before or after this event. These related events may provide more information about the root cause of this error.
