Symptoms

Cause

This issue occurs because the obsolete MailboxDeliveryAvailability health management probe, monitor, and responder that are defined on Microsoft Exchange Health Manager service startup are still enabled by default. Therefore, the auto-replaced MailboxDeliveryAvailabilityAggregation probe, monitor, and responder are not fully implemented.
