How to check SRV records for OCS and Exchange

 A critical part of an OCS deployment is SRV records for automatic sign in. It is critical that these are present and configured correct. An easy way to check them is using nslookup. Below are how to check SRV records and what SRV records need to be present.

  1. Open cmd
  2. Type: nslookup
  3. Type: set type=all
  4. Type the SRV record to list its content

For OCS 2007 R2

  • External
    • _sip._tls.domain.com
      • Usually points to Access EDGE FQDN on port 443

    • _sipfederationtls._tcp.domain.com
      • Usually points to Access EDGE FQDN on port 5061


  • Internal
    • _sipinternaltls._tcp.domain.com
      • Usually points to Pool name with correct sip domain on port 5061



For Exchange 2007/2010

  • External autodiscover
    • _autodiscover._tcp.domain.com
      • Usually points to owa FQDN listener with NTLM negotiate on port 443

Integration with vCloud Director failing after NSXT upgrade to 4.1.2.0 certificate expired

  Issue Clarification: after upgrade from 3.1.3 to 4.1.2.0 observed certificate to be expired related to various internal services.   Issue Verification: after Upgrade from 3.1.3 to 4.1.2.0 observed certificate to be expired related to various internal services.   Root Cause Identification: >>we confirmed the issue to be related to the below KB NSX alarms indicating certificates have expired or are expiring (94898)   Root Cause Justification:   There are two main factors that can contribute to this behaviour: NSX Managers have many certificates for internal services. In version NSX 3.2.1, Cluster Boot Manager (CBM) service certificates were incorrectly given a validity period of 825 days instead of 100 years. This was corrected to 100 years in NSX 3.2.3. However any environment originally installed on NSX 3.2.1 will have the internal CBM Corfu certs expire after 825 regardless of upgrade to the fixed version or not. On NSX-T 3.2.x interna...

Calculate how much data can be transferred in 24 hours based on link speed in data center

  In case you are planning for migration via DIA or IPVPN link and as example you have 200Mb stable speed so you could calculate using the below formula. (( 200Mb /8)x60x60x24) /1024/1024 = 2TB /per day In case you have different speed you could replace the 200Mb by any rate to calculate as example below. (( 5 00Mb /8)x60x60x24) /1024/1024 =  5.15TB  /per day So approximate each 100Mb would allow around 1TB per day.
