Hi Team,
The issue we identified was with OOS server communication to SfB Front End server. So we have added Pool FQDN on OOS Server SAN .
thanks

Hi Nithin,
Did you install Office Web App Server 2013 or the office online server 2016 ?
If you installed office web app server, windows server 2016 is not the supported operating systems for Office Web Apps Server, we would suggest you install Office Web Apps Server on the following operating systems:
- The 64-bit edition of Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 (SP1) Standard, Enterprise, or Datacenter with the Update for Windows Server 2008 R2 x64 Edition installed
- The 64-bit edition of Windows Server 2012 Standard or Datacenter
- The 64-bit edition of Windows Server 2012 R2. To use this operating system, you must use Office Web Apps Server Service Pack 1 (SP1).
The following link is for your reference
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219435.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396#software
Based on your event ID, you could follow these steps to troubleshooting
1.This might happen if the Office Web Apps Server FQDN was defined manually under the Shared Components section of the topology but not actually associated to any Front End Servers.when you set the OWA FQDN,did you publish topology?
2.If a URL is listed after the same text above then verify that it is correct and there are no mistakes in the server FQDN. Also make sure that the URL is resolvable and reachable from the Front End server .
3.when you run the Get-OfficeWebAppsFarm, the CertificateName is sip.sp.edu.sg. Please check the friendly name of the certificate used by the Office Web Apps
You can refer to the following link to troubleshooting problem
