    When trying to delete mail in OWA I get the error "An unexpected error occurred and your request couldn't be handled". Mail cannot be moved between folders either - same error occurs. These errors do not occur with the full client.

    Do you have a host name configured in IIS under the bindings?

    On the CAS, open up IIS Manager. Navigate to Default Web Site and in the Actions Pane click on bindings. Make sure there isn't a host name configured. If there is remove the host name.  Login to OWA and try deleting and moving items again.

    In Exchange 2010 SP1, EWS is being used on the server-side to delete items, move items to different folders, mark read/unread items, etc.  If a host header is configured, they cannot connect to EWS on the server-side which causes the error to occur.  This also applies if you configure to Require\Accept client certificates under the SSL settings in IIS.

    Are all the Exchange servers in your environment upgraded to SP1, or just client access servers?

    We only have 1 exchange server.

     

    Environment:

    Windows Server 2008 SP2, Std edition running Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 (now SP1)

    Windows Server 2008r2 Std. ed. 32bit running Active Directory.

    and an open source phone server of no consequence running TrixBox.

    Yipes!!! that was it? Geesh I was working on this most of the day. I guess the service pack is too new to have much info on it. Thank you sir, my supervisor was about to make me re-image the server prior to the install of SP1! Much Appreciated!!!!

    It seems that this is pretty common issue from my searching.  We too are experiencing this one only 1 of our CAS servers (after apply SP1).  We do not have any host headers/host bindings, yet are still experiencing the same issue.

    Any ideas?

    Got off the phone with MS PSS (5 1/2 hours) - it appears to have been (for us) a redirection loop.  What ulimately fixed the problem was deleting (or renaming) the web.config file under ..\inetpub\wwwroot\config and then restarting IIS.

    Also, make sure to check that if you are using HTTP Redirect from the Default Web Site level that you uncheck the HTTP Redirect from all the sub/virtual directories as they inheritantly get the setting(s) that are applied at the top level.

    Hi...

    I've got a similar problem. I'm also not able to perform certain actions (like delete messages) in Outlook OWA 2010 SP1. Before upgrade everything worket just fine. When I try to e.g. delete a message message is deleted and after a few secs is back together with popup message 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. At the same time a message Outlook Web App couldn't connect Exchange Web Services due to a configuration error. Response code = "null, webException.Status = ConnectFailure". appears in the application event log.

    No hostname bindings for default website, no http redirection configured, no web.config under ..\inetpub\wwwroot\config... nothing... What can be wrong...? Thanks a lot for any help / advice.

    hmmm...seems a bit different.  But, may have something to do with your EWS virtual directory.  If you want (and feel comfortbable doing this) there is a nice new feature in SP1 that allows you to reset the virtual directory through the gui.  Open EMC > Click on Server Config > click on Client Access Servers > click on the server having issues > then on the right hand side, select Reset Virtual Directory.  This wizard will walk you through selecting the virtual directory (basically does a remove-webservicesvirtualdirectory and new-webserviceswebdirectory).  Following this, recycle IIS (iisreset) and see if that resolves your problems. 

    Something else to check, is all the virtual directories.  Make sure your redirect is only at the default level and is not propagating to the other virtual directories.  Also, you can check the authentication on the EWS virtual directory and ensure that only Anonymous and Windows Authentication are enabled.

    Hello

    I have the exact problem as Lubos. I checked bindings, re-enabled IPv6, checked and replaced SSL cert, disabled redirection, removed web.config from the wwwroot directory, tried all Test-* cmdlets. I have tried to reset EWS Virtual Directory, the problem persists while deleting an e-mail in "rich" OWA (the light version of OWA works without any problem).

    "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."

    Log Name:      Application
    Source:        MSExchange OWA
    Date:          30.9.2010 11:11:47
    Event ID:      108
    Task Category: Configuration
    Level:         Error
    Keywords:      Classic
    User:          N/A
    Computer:      computer.domain.local
    Description:
    Outlook Web App couldn't connect Exchange Web Services due to a configuration error. Response code = "null, webException.Status = ConnectFailure".

    I have found that after resetting EWS virtual directory only Windows Authentication is  enabled - Anonymous is disabled.

    I assume Lubos is from the Czech Republic too and probably uses the same server regional settings as me (Czech). It is strange that I have another Ex2010 SP1 installation, with the same settings and I am able to delete an e-mail in OWA.

    Other symptoms:
    - cannot insert picture in OWA
    - when using Firefox 3.6.10, I am not able to do anything in rich OWA. No problem with light version.

    Is it possible to uninstall Ex2010 SP1?

    1) Are you using redirection at all?  (have you modified the IISStart page)?

    2) Make sure your PowerShell virtual directory does not have SSL checked. 

    3) On your EWS, you should have both Anonymous and Windows Authentication enabled. 

    4) Lastly, check for the Kerbauth module under the PowerShell Virtual Directory, ensure it is there and the path is correct (Module Type shoudl = Native and the Entry Type = Local).

    5) OPTION! You can also try resetting your OWA virtual directory too.

    Hi...

    To Radek:

    I'm from Czech Republic... ;) I have Czech regional settings enabled on many servers - only one does not work after SP1... :-/

    To Karl:

    1) No redirection enabled at all. On the Default Web Site there was SSL required, I have disabled it. No difference.

    2) PowerShell dir exists, no SSL checked

    3) On EWS both authentications checked

    4) Kerbauth there, settings and the dll itself ok

    5) Already done...

    what happens when you browse to http://servername/ews/exchange.asmx  (or if you have SSL enabled use https://servername/ews/exchange.asmx)  You should get a bunch of xml code.

    hi,

    to bingdaddy:

    1) no redirection tested, no change, now only this wwwroot web.config content:
     <location path="index.htm">
      <system.webServer>
       <httpRedirect enabled="true" destination="https://mail.domain.cz/owa/" childOnly="true" />
      </system.webServer>
     </location>

    2) Powershell virtual directory does not have SSL checked

    3) EWS Anonymous enabled (why it was recreated without it?)

    4) PowerShell Kerbauth module path correct, parameters too. This is a difference between my Ex2010 SP1 installations - working OWA has Exchange installed in c:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V14\... and data moved manually to a dedicated logical disk later, while the other, non-working OWA has Exchange installed in d:\Exchange Server\V14\...

    5) OWA resetted too.

    6) http://servername/ews/exchange.asmx - a bunch of code appears

    7) all URLs checked with this script - http://msunified.net/exchange-downloads/script-internalexternalurls-ps1/

    IISRESET, no effect, reboot, no effect.

    Have you ran the EXBPA to see if that gives you any indications?  Also, what error is being logged in the Application Log after you try and delete something from OWA?

    Have you used the Exchange Connectivity Test found at:  https://www.testexchangeconnectivity.com/ ?  Is this spitting any errors?


    Karl
  • Friday, October 01, 2010 2:28 PM
     
     

    Rdolezel - what do you mean by "no redirection tested, no change"?  Looking at the web.config, you are infact using redirection (which is fine) - if you are redirecting, are you using it from the HTTP Redirect or are you using it via Error Page while modifying the IISStart page?

    Also, as I mentioned to Lubos: " Have you ran the EXBPA to see if that gives you any indications?  Also, what error is being logged in the Application Log after you try and delete something from OWA? Have you used the Exchange Connectivity Test found at:  https://www.testexchangeconnectivity.com/ ?  Is this spitting any errors?"

    I have the same issue but got there a little bit differently.  I installed 2010 SP1 directly and utilized ports 80 / 443 in my IIS configuration and everything worked fine.  I changed the SSL port to 444 and this resulted in the unable to delete / unable to move issue with the following message in Event Viewer:

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

    Updating EWS URLs with Set-WebServicesVirtualDirectory command did not make any difference.  Chane the port back to 443 and all functionality is restored.  Any thoughts as to why the port modification would cause this issue?  Could the upgrade to SP1 be causing the same root issue?

    Hi,

    I had used a combination of http redirection (for index.html only) with customized aspx-based error page (website level) for 403.4 before SP1. Removed it after SP1 installed and OWA problems found - I wanted to isolate problem areas.

    ExBPA test ran ok, Exchange Remote Connectivy tests too.

    Since you mentioned that the host header is not configured in the bindings and you are still unable to delete items. Can you check to see if there are corresponding errors in the application logs?

    Also, do you have client certificates set to ignore on the EWS virtual directory.

    • Open up IIS Manager
    • Go to Default Web Site > EWS > SSL Settings
    • Make sure that the client certificates is not set to Accept\Require. If it is choose Ignore, apply the changes and perform IIS reset.
    • Then confirm if it still occurs

    This is probably an EWS issue.

    With Exchange 2010 SP1, EWS is being used for most of the functions performed on the server-side, such as deleting items, moving items to a different folder, mark read/unread items, etc.

    I encountered the same error.  When I removed the web.config file in wwwroot the errors disappeared, but as soon as I re-created the OWA redirect the errors came back.  And we were seeing the issue on one of our two servers in our CAS array.  I was able to resolve the issue by doing the following:

    • Locate the web.config file in the ClientAccess\OWA directory in the Exchange Server install directory
    • The end of the file contained the following lines:
      <system.webServer>
         <httpRedirect enabled="true"/>
      </system.webServer>
    • Remove those lines
    • Save the web.config file
    • Reset the IIS services on the server

    After making those changes we are no longer getting errors in our OWA.

  • Thursday, November 04, 2010 2:38 PM
     
     

    I've fixed this by changing the authentication method for the EWS virtual directory under  IIS manager.

    In my case, I had changed the authentication methods for OWA to Basic and Windows authentication on the exchange manager, but it seems that you also need to change for the EWS virtual directory. Since this option is not available on the exchange management console you have to do it on the IIS Manager.

    Just select the EWS virtual directory, click on authentication and put the same authentication methods that you are using for the OWA virtual directory.

    Hope it can help.

    Cheers

    First of all, i receive the error although no host name is configured under IIS, bindings.
    Second, the web.config under inetpub\wwwroot is needed for the simplification of the OWA URL: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa998359(EXCHG.80).aspx
    When you make the redirection under IIS, the web.config file gets created. The redirection info is stored in it.
    Deleting the file is not a fix. If deleting the file removes the problem, the clearly there is a bug in exchange.

    Cinciberlandia: you can set the authentication methods using the Set-WebServicesVirtualDirectory.
    I think EWS virtual directory needs the default authentication methods and you shouldn't mess with it.

    Anyway, after OWA gives the error message, i can successfully delete.

    Anybody has any other solution?

    A hours and hours, i find the issue (for me)

    In my case, i had to modify the authentification parameters in IIS management console.

    Caution : i'm not talking about files and folder permissions but the Authentification icon in iis management console when you click on each subfolder.

    For the subfolder ecp :

    • anonymous : disabled
    • basic : enabled
    • digest : disabled 
    • Forms : disabled
    • Windows : enabled
    • ASP.NET : disabled

    For the subfolder EWS :

    • anonymous : enabled
    • basic : enabled
    • digest : disabled 
    • Forms : disabled
    • Windows : enabled
    • ASP.NET : disabled

    For the subfolder owa :

    • anonymous : disabled
    • basic : enabled
    • digest : disabled 
    • Forms : disabled
    • Windows : enabled
    • ASP.NET : disabled

    And it works, i can delete / move messages in owa !!

    I think that if you use Form authentification, you need to disable Basic and enable forms in those three subfolders.

    One thing I found today....  I have a customer that was having this issue.  they had added another port in iis for ActiveSync users.  Basically, they have their users add a port to the end of the server url on their mobile devices.  There FW redirects to the exchange server on that port.

    If I take the port out of the bindings, the issue went away.

    Workaround:  created a new site in IIS called ActiveSync, then in Exchange I created a new virtual directory for activesync and applied it to the new site.  then I added the port to that site.  Presto, it all works fine now.

    Hope this help anyone else with similar issues.

    Thanks Heaps.

    This fixed my exchange 2010 errors when deleting messages through OWA.

    I had this issue because I changed the SSL binding port to 4433.  I resolved the issue by changing my router to forward 4433 to internal port 443 and changing the SSL binding port back to 443.

    Thank you Tom,

     

    This is correct, but I want to notice that prior to SP1 you could configure a couple of host headers, including the server's fully qualified name, and EWS then worked correctly!

    If you believe that this isn't a Microsoft issue, can you provide us more technical information regarding this problem.

     

    Regards,

    I fixed this and a bunch of other issues by making sure you have Enable HTTP keep-alive checked in IIS>servername>HTTP Response Headers>Set Common Headers

    My issues were:

    1. Couldn't access OA via Outlook
    2. Couldn't delete email in OWA but I could delete in OWA/light
    3. EMC would not open
    4. Exchange Powershell was giving errors connecting to CAS servers

    I hope this info helps someone because I was going crazy trying to figure this out.

    Thanks,

    Steve

    Thanks Arnaud-31.

    Just setting EWS with anonymous enabled did it for me :-)

    Much appreciated.

    Hi,

     

    I solved it.  Tried everything on tthis board to no avail.  Users couldnt delete messages but they could under OWA light

     

    Open IIS, click on default web site and choose bindings.  Make sure you have two for HTTPS

    https all unassigned no host name and slect your assigned cert

    https 127.0.0.1 no host name and select your assigned cert

    I had a host name under port 80 (which i removed) but i think my real issue was i had just one https set using ip 192.168.10

     

    Also on another note if you get a blank screen or page cna not be displayed after loggin into OWA make sure your Microsoft Exchange Forms-Based authentication service is started. 

    - right click on computer choose manage adn under configuration choose serives.

     

    Mine wont start automatically for some reason  onto another battle

    hmmm...seems a bit different.  But, may have something to do with your EWS virtual directory.  If you want (and feel comfortbable doing this) there is a nice new feature in SP1 that allows you to reset the virtual directory through the gui.  Open EMC > Click on Server Config > click on Client Access Servers > click on the server having issues > then on the right hand side, select Reset Virtual Directory.  This wizard will walk you through selecting the virtual directory (basically does a remove-webservicesvirtualdirectory and new-webserviceswebdirectory).  Following this, recycle IIS (iisreset) and see if that resolves your problems. 

    Something else to check, is all the virtual directories.  Make sure your redirect is only at the default level and is not propagating to the other virtual directories.  Also, you can check the authentication on the EWS virtual directory and ensure that only Anonymous and Windows Authentication are enabled.
