Exchange 2013 - Exchange Toolbox Error

Hi all,
Here my situation : I have Exchange server CU23 (CAS + Mailbox roles) , OS : Windows server 2008 R2 SP1 enterprise , with 2 partitions
C: installed Exchange
D: for mailbox databases store

Recently, I have to repair my Exchange server by:
- Format partition C and reinstall Windows OS (Windows server 2008 R2 SP1 enterprise)
- Prepare Exchange 2013 prerequisites by following : https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/exchange-2013-prerequisites-exchange-2013-help
- Install Exchange 2013 CU23 in recover mode : setup /m:recoverserver /iacceptexchangeserverlicenseterms

After restart, everything works fine except Exchange Toolbox (I can use Exchange powershell)
This is error when I try to open Exchange Toolbox

I can install Management Tools on other server (witness server) and use it to view message in queue.

Hi @JackChuong-4637

Have you tried using mmc to add other snap-in, does the issue only occurs for Exchange toolbox?

According to my research, you could try the following methods to resolve this issue.

  1. Restart your IIS by running iisreset

  2. Check the bindings in your IIS as well

This thread discussed the related issue failed openning the Exchange toolbox for your reference:
Exchange 2013 Toolbox crashes when opening

You may also try reinstalling the Exchange management tools to verify the result again, Install the Exchange 2013 management tools

If the steps above not working for your problem, please check the application log for more information, this will be helpful to troubleshooting!

I get same error when trying with mmc to add other snap-in. Yes, the issue only occurs for Exchange toolbox.
I restarted your IIS by running iisreset and Check the bindings in your IIS as well , still get issue.
How can I try reinstalling the Exchange management tools ? Just run setup.exe and choose "Management Tools" ?
I'm trying to install Management Tools on my windows 10 workstation to see if it works , is it possible ?
