A default application pool becomes unresponsive in Exchange Server 2010 that has more than 64 multirole servers

View products that this article applies to.

Symptoms

Assume that you are in a Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 environment that has more than 64 multirole servers, and these servers contain Microsoft Exchange Server 2013. You find a default application pool that only hosts Microsoft Outlook anywhere is unresponsive. Additionally, when you try to use Outlook or Outlook Web App, you cannot log on to it.

Cause

This issue occurs because there is a whitelist of Exchange Server 2010 Remote Procedure Calls (RPC) over HTTP servers in the default application pool. In this pool, the default maximum number of Client Access servers is 64 in a single site. However, your RPC over HTTP ValidPorts registry key includes Exchange Server 2013 servers. It means the total number of Exchange servers exceeds the registry limitation. Therefore, a leak happens in heap.
