15 Dec. 2011] Completing a look at the feature known as Back Pressure in Exchange 2010. If you would like to read the first part in this article series please go to Back Pressure exchange backpressure event id in Exchange 2010 (Part 1). Introduction In part one of this two-part article on

the back pressure feature in Exchange Server 2010, we covered the calculations that Exchange uses to determine the high, medium and normal microsoft exchange transport is rejecting message submissions because the available disk space back pressure levels for disk utilization. Here in part two we’ll look at how a breach of these levels will look as far as the Event Viewer is concerned as well as covering how things

look when trying to telnet to a transport server to manually submit a new SMTP message. We will then finish by looking at the back pressure settings for memory utilization. Event Viewer Let’s start part two by having a look at what we see in the Event Viewer when a back pressure event has occurred that has been caused by a lack of disk space. In Figure 2-1, we can see exchange 2016 back pressure event ID 15004 from a source of MSExchangeTransport that informs us that the resource pressure has increased from normal to high. Figure 2-1: Event ID 15004 – High Back Pressure Event You can see from Figure 2-1 that two separate resources are detailed, namely the disk space utilization associated with the queue database and queue database transaction logs. Specifically, you can see that the disk space utilization associated with the queue database is shown as 96%, as is the disk space utilization associated with the queue database transaction logs. This is because these two resources are located on the same disk. We can also see from Figure 2-1 that the 96% utilization for the queue database disk is rated as medium usage. After this, we see that the normal, medium and high utilization percentages are stated as 93%, 95% and 97% respectively, as covered in part one of this article. Remember, these values are based on an example disk partition size of 20GB. Immediately below this information, we can see that the 96% utilization for the queue database transaction log disk is rated as high usage; therefore this event has been logged because the queue database transaction log disk has moved from normal to high usage not because the queue database di

Pressure. Backpressure can be used to monitor key resources like the hard disk space available, availability of memory, version exchange 2013 disk space threshold buckets etc. The transport server temporarily prevents establishment of fresh connections and messages from some sources if the system resource utilization exceeds certain threshold. This can hence reduce the overloading of the transport http://www.msexchange.org/articles-tutorials/exchange-server-2010/management-administration/back-pressure-exchange-2010-part2.html service thus ensuring proper delivery of messages. The establishment of connections and messages are resumed once the system resource utilization is reduced to normal levels. Nonetheless at some circumstances, manual recovery is required due to excessive overloading of server. Here we discuss the actions necessary under such circumstances. Symptoms: When the backpressure exceeds permissible values, you can see the termination of Inbound mail submission from http://msexchangeguru.com/2013/07/29/troubleshooting-backpressure/ other Hub Transport servers, the Internet, the Pickup directory, the Replay directory, and the Mailbox server on a Hub Transport server. These circumstances are characterized by any of the following events: Log Name: Application Source: MSExchangeTransport Date: 4/17/2013 7:00:33 AM Event ID: 15006 Task Category: ResourceManager Level: Warning Keywords: Classic User: N/A Computer: HUBServerName Description: The Microsoft Exchange Transport service is rejecting message submissions because the available disk space has dropped below the configured threshold.

Redirect Exchange OWA to default site and force SSL in Exchange2010 → Insufficient System resources in Exchange https://exchangekb.com/2012/11/05/insufficient-system-resources-in-exchange-2010-disable-back-pressureresource-monitoring/ 2010, disable back pressure/resource monitoring Nov 5 Posted by Godwin Daniel Starting https://exchangequery.com/2015/01/28/back-pressure-in-exchange-in-2013/ from Exchange 2007, the edge transport service uses the system resource monitoring feauture to determine vital resources such as hard drive space and memory and take action in an attempt to prevent service outages. This can be a pain as the whole thing is calculated on a back pressure formula, 100 * (hard disk size - fixed constant) / hard disk size this feature is called Backup pressure, more info on http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb201658.aspx and how this formula works http://www.msexchange.org/articles_tutorials/exchange-server-2010/management-administration/back-pressure-exchange-2010-part1.html Now simply put, you have this error from other smtp servers trying to contact yours : Insufficient System resources, to get around this you will need to increase the hard drive space or memory, until disable back pressure then you could temporarly disable this monitoring feature so that you can start recieving important emails. WARNING: this is not a recommended permanent solution, do this until youve figured what resource needs looking at i.e hard drive space, RAM etc. Make a backup copy of the edgetransport.exe.config file before you start. Open the EdgeTransport.exe.config file from \Exchange Server\bin directory using notepad Add the following key+value pair:
space , availability of memory and version buckets to give an advance notification to the administrator before the email server is totally down.This feature was introduced from Exchange 2007. The concept of back-pressure in Exchange 2013 is the same as it was in Exchange 2010. Basically high level of hard drive space utilization is calculated by using the following formula in Exchange 2013: 100 * (hard disk size - fixed constant) / hard drive size The value of fixed constant is 500 megabytes (MB) A list of changes that are made to the message queue database is kept in memory until those changes can be committed to a transaction log. Then the list is committed to the message queue database itself. These outstanding message queue database transactions that are kept in memory are known as version buckets. If normal level isn't reached for the entire version bucket history depth, then edgetransport.exe config file is coded to take the following actions: 1) Reject incoming messages from other Exchange servers ( could be internal exchange servers as well as external exchange servers)- initially 2) Reject message submissions from mailbox databases by the Mailbox Transport Submission service on Mailbox servers - End users sent email received from their respective databases to transport submission service will be rejected. Which means that these messages will not reach till the categorizer level and all the messages will be rejected at the precategorizer level itself. 3) Reject incoming messages from non-Exchange servers - Could be notes,zimbra etc., 4) Reject message submissions from Pickup and Replay directories - Messages from applications dropped in the pickup directory Similarly following event logs will be logged in the affected server: Event log entry for an increase in any resource utilization level Event Type: Error Event Source: MSExchangeTransport Event Category: Resource Manager Event ID: 15004 Description: Resource pressure increased from Previous Utilization Level to Current Utilization Level.
