Recently I was struggling to the fix the issue with the one of enterprise vault client computer where user was not able to access the archived email and search was not working from the outlook search button.

Client Trace logs and below was identified

28/01/2019 12:59:59.536[7088][M]: HaveConnection::ExecuteTest – Connection test to: xxxxx/EnterpriseVault/clienttest.gif failed

28/01/2019 12:59:59.538[7088][M]: HaveConnection::ExecuteTest (80184779) – Ending connection

28/01/2019 12:59:59.538[7088][L]: ~HaveConnection::ExecuteTest

28/01/2019 12:59:59.538[7088][H]: Could not contact the EV web server (https://serveralias/EnterpriseVault) directly

28/01/2019 12:59:59.539[7088][L]: DesktopCommonConfig::GetSetting: 0x0

28/01/2019 12:59:59.539[7088][M]: Desktop Setting: RPCOVERHTTPPROXYURL

28/01/2019 12:59:59.540[7088][M]: Value: https://serveralias/EnterpriseVault

28/01/2019 12:59:59.540[7088][L]: ~DesktopCommonConfig::GetSetting: 0x0

28/01/2019 12:59:59.541[7088][H]: Trying the Alternative Web Application URL (https://serveralias/EnterpriseVault)

so here EV tries to connect the vault server but due to some certificate related issue it was redirected to the exchange RPC URL.

i have tried all the possible troubleshooting and redirect URL to EV alias but none was helpful , after checking so many things below was the simple solution

remove the checkmark from the internet explorer setting

Check for Publisher’s certificate revocation

Check for server certificate revocation*

Check for signatures on downloading programs

 

error seeting

Thanks !!

It’s been almost 3+ years helping IT admin to make their and our 😊 life easily with the help of Nutanix Hyperconverged solution.

I am designing and implementing Nutanix with all the supported hypervisor and the one thing I always enjoy is outstanding simplicity and one click management, I have strong feeling that Nutanix has completed his journey as an hyperconverged platform and now there is no further improvement really required but as you all know our industry keep required innovation so there is no full stop and we have to accept that there is always room for changes and improvement.

Nutanix has changed his definition from the Hyperconverged company to a complete stack for datacenter. What makes Nutanix platform as stack is new features which AOS 5.5 and later version brings. Nutanix bring complete software defined platform and there so dependency on the hardware which helps Nutanix team to integrate with another technology so seamlessly and I am sure now Nutanix is focusing beyond the Hyperconverged
