Exchange 2013 OWA Issues - "Sorry Something went Wrong"
Hi Guys,

Our OWA stopped working 48 hours ago and we have been trying to trouble-shoot it since. There were no changes to the environment, no Windows Updates were run through. The environment has been running without error for the past 9 months.

All of sudden our OWA has stopped working.

Our users come to the login page and once they log in, they get the error

:-(

something went wrong

Sorry, we can't get that information right now. Please try again later. If the problem continues, contact your helpdesk.

 
Want to be able to use your email when you're offline?

Next time you are connected:
1. At the top of Outlook Web App, next to your name, click Settings
2. Click Offline settings and turn on offline access
3. That's it! You'll never see this message again.

 refresh the page  

We are running 2 * Exchange 2013 Servers CU2 Build 712.24 and one Exchange 2010 (Build 123.4) for Edge Transport purposes. We have rebuilt the Virtual Directories, removed the Canary AD entries, just about everything we have been able to ascertain from the web, none of which has worked for us.

What's further puzzling is we are able to access the ECP/ EAC without error (and it logs through the OWA.auth).

Any help or insight would be much appreciated.

Thanks Carol. I have already been through the Spiceworks link.

We have re-created the OWA Virtual Directories a number of times (along with the ECP ones).

Running an CU 3 now to see if that assists...

The moment OWA stopped working, what was there to see in the error logs?
About Exchange 2013, can we assume SP1 installed?

Avatar of maccadumaccadu🇦🇺

ASKER

There was nothing that we could find in the Error logs.

As for SP1 no the environment has not been upgraded as yet.

When opening the OWA on Firefox, it gets to the point of "Opening your mailbox...." before the message appears... So perhaps it's an AD connectivity issue... We cant be sure.

All i can say is make a backup and update the exchange instance.... pretty sure this is the best starting point.

Where is the mailbox? Exchange 2010 or 2013? Was it moved recently.

So results of the CU update haven't really helped, although it gives more detail on the error message.

less detail...

Open in new window



All Test Connectivity components come up OK (EWS, RPC, ActiveSync etc).

We have also switched the OWA from premium to lite and now able to access OWA.

Seems the same issue as this post...

We had exhausted all options provided by EE members and engaged Microsoft to work through the issue.
