Cannot save changes to OWA settings, "Sorry! We're having trouble processing your request at the moment."

We have a single Exchange 2010 server (v14.3 build 123.4) running with all three roles. When a user tries to save a signature or any other setting change in Outlook Web Access, they see the error message:

"Sorry! We're having trouble processing your request at the moment. Please try again in a few minutes."

At the same time, the following event (ID 4, source: MSExchange Control Panel) is recorded in the application log:

Current user: 'domain.local/Users/Administrator'

There is no header in the default web site in IIS, and the ECP virtual directory has anonymous authentication enabled.

How can we fix this issue?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Giladn

can you please run:

Test-EcpConnectivity -ClientAccessServer Server01

replace server01 with servername and post back results..

This looks relevant as well, SSL cert-related?

I just realised that the ActiveSync error posted above is not relevant as I should have used the command:

Test-ActiveSyncConnectivity -URL "https://mail.domain.com/Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync" | fl

... because otherwise it uses the local name, which isn't on the certificate.

Also I have just spotted that under the EMC, Server Configuration, Exchange Certificates, the cert for mail.domain.com has the status "The certificate is invalid for Exchange Server usage" - thought I should mention it in case it's relevant.

Thanks again!
