Hello Everyone,
I am seeing the below error many times on my new install of Exchange 2013 CU1. I am also getting the same alerts via SCOM. Anyone know how to resolve it or provide any information?
Maintenance workitem "EDS.Maintenance.Workitem" (ID: 30) has failed. Health Manager has detected it is either set to run once and failed, or has been failing consistently. Maintenance workitem failure could cause monitoring gap and should be investigated.
The error message from the last result is:
System.InvalidOperationException: Category does not exist.
at System.Diagnostics.PerformanceCounterLib.CounterExists(String machine, String category, String counter)
at System.Diagnostics.PerformanceCounter.InitializeImpl()
at System.Diagnostics.PerformanceCounter..ctor(String categoryName, String counterName, String instanceName, Boolean readOnly)

at Microsoft.Office.Datacenter.WorkerTaskFramework.WorkItem.<>c__DisplayClass2.<StartExecuting>b__0()
at System.Threading.Tasks.Task.Execute()
At the time of the alert if I run Get-ServerHealth -Identity 'CAS02' -HealthSer 'EDS' I only ever see the MaintenanceFailureMonitor.EDS name as Unhealthy. It appears it is flipping from healthy to unhealthy several times during the nights.
Thanks for any information!
