Test-OutlookConnectivity fails: Failed to find the probe result for invoke now request

In my Exchange 2013 lab environment (Exchange 2013 CU7 Multi-Role) cmdlet Test-OutlookConnectivity fails:

Test-OutlookConnectivity –ProbeIdentity 'OutlookRpcSelfTestProbe'
WARNING: An unexpected error has occurred and a Watson dump is being generated: Failed to find the probe result for invoke now request id 743eb01ee4f2436fa909a8206c029773 and probe workdefinition id 317. Failed to find the probe result for invoke now request id 743eb01ee4f2436fa909a8206c029773 and probe workdefinition id 317.

Time zone setting on server: (UTC+01:00) Amsterdam, Berlin, Bern, Rome, Stockholm, Vienna

After changing server time zone (& server reboot) to: (UTC -08:00) Pacific Time (US & Canada) cmdlet Test-OutlookConnectivity –ProbeIdentity 'OutlookRpcSelfTestProbe' runs successful:

The same warning may appear when running Invoke-Monitoring cmdlet and is also related to this time zone issue. For example: Invoke-MonitoringProbe -Identity OWA\OwaCtpProbe –Server server-name

This issue has been reported to MS. Don’t know when it will be fixed.
