OWA Problem after Updating to SP1 - 18.Sep.2010 9:42:19 AM

Hello Forum

I just updated our Exchange 2010 to SP1 and everthing seems to work.

But the new features with the insert picture don't work. I get evertime the error:
The action you tried to perform couldn't be completed because there's a configuration problem on the server. If the problem continues, contact your helpdesk.

In the event logs there is the error (in german):
Outlook Web App konnte aufgrund eines Konfigurationsfehlers keine Verbindung zu den Exchange-Webdiensten herstellen. Antwortcode = 'null, webException.Status = ConnectFailure'.

Has anybody seen this error and have a hint how to fix it?

thx

Hello Mblaser,
I have the same problems after Exchange SP1 installation:

Outlook Web App couldn't connect Exchange Web Services due to a configuration error. Response code = "null, webException.Status = ConnectFailure".

This only happens if anybody tries to delete or move any email item to other folder only from OWA.

Unfortunately I did not solve this problem yet, and looking forward for help.

I have the same problem on one of my ex2010 installations. But not on others. Did you disable any IPv6 component on your server? I am just trying to identify differences between installations.

Rdol,

Is the "Insert Picture" feature selected when you try to compose a new message through OWA (Just making sure you're not talking about GAL photos..)

If so, it works on my NLB CAS array which has IPv6 disabled.

It sounds like it could be IPv6, but I would also check your Internal and External URLs for the web services virtual directory

Get-WebServicesVirtualDirectory | fl identity,*rl

I confirm both symptoms - cannot delete e-mail, cannot insert picture. I tried to turn IPv6 on, problems persist.

Travis, your hint was very good. One year ago, during installation I had used distinct external/internal URLs because I had used my own CA. However I migrated to StartSSL CA which does not allow private FQDNs in its certificates. So I changed (I thought) every internal URL to the same form as external and created "fake" external DNS zone for the internal usage.

Based on your PowerShell command I found that "Get-ClientAccessServer -AutodiscoverServiceInternalUri" and mainly "Get-WebServicesVirtualDirectory -InternalURL" contained old URLs. It was not problem a few weeks ago, probably because there was still the first SAN certificate with internal name - but it has just expired. Unfortunately I installed SP1 at the same time so I cannot confirm if these problems started after "unused" certificate expired or after SP1 installation :(

So I tried to find and replace every exchange-related InternalUrl/Uri with PowerShell (some of them cannot be found in GUI Console), tried to renew certificate from private CA, no success, problems persist. There must be something else.

I have just tried to log in to Outlook Web App Light, no problem to delete an e-mail from this light version. The problem must be in something used only in full OWA. I am convinced it was caused by SP1.

Hello,

I have the exact same problem, I'm able to delete messages from the light version but not from the non-light version, have you found something else?

Well, I have some partial progress. What type of SSL certificate do you use? From which CA? Does your SAN certificate include both external and internal FQDN names (my not because StartSSL does not allow it)? I think SP1 changed something in full OWA which requests EWS services via internal FQDN (or Netbios, not sure yet) name.

Can you test your EWS functionality with Test-WebServicesConnectivity cmdlet? I have got this Failure Result:

[System.Net.WebException]: The underlying connection was closed: Could not establish trust relationship for the SSL/TLS secure channel. Inner error [System.Security.Authentication.AuthenticationException]: The remote certificate is invalid according to the validation procedure.

Don't forget to run .\new-TestCasConnectivityUser.ps1 from your \Exchange Server\V14\Scripts\ installation.

"One way to secure XML web services is using SSL. If you install a certificate that has not been issued by a trusted certification authority on the web site hosting the web service and you consume the web service from a .NET application, then you would probably get an AuthenticationException warning you that "the remote certificate is invalid according to the validation procedure". This happens because the default certificate policy only allows valid certificates and valid certificates that have expired."

I also got the very same problem:

Right after upgrading any of two exchange 2010 to sp1 (on windows server 2008 r2, latest patches) the owa dont let you delete any items. Only coming this weird "configuration problem" message and in the event log there is an event id 108, source MSExchange OWA...

Has anybody meantime any idea? It is re produceable, when you install in this environment a clean exchange 2010, latest patches, everythink work fine. THen you upgrade to SP1 and the error is here...

I give it up. I created new SAN certificate with all FQDN and Netbios names, issued on my internal CA, installed on Exchange server. After that all Powershell cmdlets Test-*Connectivity were successfully processed.
So it's not IPv6 problem, it is not SSL problem, problems persist. It must be something in OWA code and it can vary installation by installation (I have one installation without any problem). I have this error in my w3svc log file:
2010-09-23 18:57:12 192.168.169.10 POST /owa/ev.owa oeh=1&ns=EwsProxy&ev=Proxy&rqApplyConversationAction 443 tester@test.cz 192.168.333.10 Mozilla/4.0+(compatible;+MSIE+8.0;+Windows+NT+6.1;+WOW64;+Trident/4.0;+SLCC2;+.NET+CLR+2.0.50727;+.NET+CLR+3.5.30729;+.NET+CLR+3.0.30729;+.NET4.0C;+.NET4.0E) 584 0 0 3171

After trying a LOT of steps including rebuilding all virtual directories, reobtaining/reinstalling SSL certificates, and a myriad of setting changes to exchange and IIS, I ran into a post on technet

http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-GB/exchange2010hosters/thread/e45d7277-b205-4791-a430-631b163a5072

which led me to another...

Bottom line was, deleting/renaming the web.config file from "...\inetpub\wwwroot\web.config" fixed the issue. I renamed this file to web.configBAD and ran iisreset. OWA lets me delete, move, etc without any issues now.

As a followup to this.

I tried the following step and it didn't fix my problem. It wasn't until I noticed in IIS under the \exchange folder that the "Redirect requests to this destination" was checked. After unchecking the box, OWA starting working again without the error.

Thanks

Hey everyone,

I had the same problem, It ended up being related to setting the default site to an IP (10.1.0.108) and not (all unassigned). I set the default SSL to ALL Unassigned.

Worked perectly.

I use a apache reverse proxy, but I dont think it matters. Strange one..

SBS 2011 same issue, solution worked great. HTTPS was bound to local IP only. Changed site bindings for HTTPS to * and loopback ip to resolve.
