Exchange 2010 & Windows Server 2012 exchange management console crash.

Trying to gather data from the exchange console kept getting: error FX:{A5406CA3-6393-48a0-8827-CF06F0C94C55} Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.

Everything showed "Unavailable".

Fix is here:

Open mmc, add the exchange management console snap in and save it as emc.msc

create a bat file 


set __COMPAT_LAYER=RUNASINVOKER
set COMPLUS_Version=v2.0.50727
"C:\Users\youri\Desktop\emc.msc"

and the management console will work.

  3. The correct is with a space after first set and not with 2 undescores

    set COMPAT_LAYER=RUNASINVOKER
    set COMPLUS_Version=v2.0.50727
    "C:\Users\youri\Desktop\emc.msc"

    Thanks! RESPECT

  6. This does indeed work.

    For everybody who has no idea and is coming from Google (like me):
    Search for mmc.exe and open it, then add/remove snap in like this:

    And look for Exchange Server 2010. Add it. Then File -> save as.
