View products that this article applies to.

Symptoms

When you use the message tracking task in the Microsoft Exchange Troubleshooting Assistant tool (Extra.exe) on a Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 edge server, you receive the following error message:
Unable to query the queue settings on
		  Edge Box.User credentials may be incorrect, or there may be a problem with
		  the
		  power shell service on that computer. Error message: The process "ExTRA
		  (PID=576) has been initialized as unknown multiple instance type
		  un-expectedly.
1.Reasons of this exception:1.For any product executeables,which will be
		  shipped out of box, they should never use AD driver functionality without
		  initializing its performance counter instance since we can NOT show a
		  intuitive
		  Perf Counter instance name here
2.We don't need the validation for test assembly because we don't care for its
		  performance counter missing;however,we definitely want to make sure it is
		  under
		  our control, so that we don't miss any out of bos product DLLs/EXEs.What to
		  do
		  avoid this exception: For any newly added exchange test executables which
		  utilize AD perf,please add the executable name of the process into
		  exclusion
		  list in
		  Microsoft.Exchange.Data.directory.globals.checkexchangetestexecutables
