Exchange Activesync

Variations of this error have come up before.
Take a look at these questions, particularly the troubleshooting steps I described:
https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/21752093/ActiveSync-With-Mobile-5.html
https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/21775443/Active-Sync-getting-error.html

Also look at the virtual directory settings that I have outlined in this question, and ensure that they are correct.

Simon.

I looked through those articles prior to posting this. I also looked up microsoft kb article 818486.

Now when i try to login to https://servername/oma i get the following error:

A System error has occurred while processing your request. Please try again. If the problem persists, contact your administrator.

and it goes to the link:

https://adi107/oma/(qsxk44ewdye4pt45sit3jaut)/oma.aspx

OMA caches errors - so if you have received an error once, you will continue to receive it. You need to press OK or home on the error screen before things will settle down - especially if you have made any changes.

Simon.

Now when i try to connect to https://servername/oma, it asks me for login information. After that it comes up with page cannot be found error.

When you sign in, do you use username/password or domain\username and password, or something else?

Simon.

domain\username and password

Is it writing anything in to the event log at that time?
Its odd that it lets you authenticate, then throws back a page cannot be found error.

That doesn't even sound like it was a permissions problem - there have been a series of forbidden or access denied errors on this process recently.

Simon.

Doesnt write anything in the event logs, it is almost like IIS does not where to go after the authentication.

I also tried this KB article listed in this thread,

https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/21545549/Trouble-logging-onto-OMA-on-exchange-2003-server-loaded-on-windows-2003-server.html?query=page+not+found+in+OMA&clearTAFilter=true

Two things spring to mind with a blank page.

1. The application pools aren't set correctly.
2. Something is wrong with the .net framework.

I am of course skipping the obvious points that the account is enabled for this type of access and all the remote options are set in ESM, Global Settings, Mobile Services.

Simon.

Yes all of those are checked and setup. As for the application pools, what is a good test to verify the settings?

Also, for the .NET framework?

I have a reference installation of Exchange at home - out of the box, no configuration changes.

For Exchange-Server-ActiveSync it should be ExchangeApplicationPool
For OMA is should be ExhcnageMobileBrowseApplicationPool

with regards to .net - if you have multiple versions of .net installed, make sure that those directories are configured to use version 1.1 - not 2.0.

Simon.

For Exchange-Server-ActiveSync it should be ExchangeApplicationPool - is the setting
For OMA is should be ExhcnageMobileBrowseApplicationPool - is the setting

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/818486/en-us, based on the KB article

There are 2 directories for .net on the \windows\microsoft.net\framework directory of which i registered v1.1.4322 and allowed it in IIS web extensions as well. After that it give me a '  A System error has occurred while processing your request. Please try again. If the problem persists, contact your administrator.'

This is the error which shows up in the event viewer when i try to access https://servername/oma. This may help
