Hello,

Recently, our new  user can't get on OWA because their regional setting page is returning "An unexpected error occurred and your request couldn't be handled."

with "Url: https://mail.shdm.org:443/owa/languageselection.aspx" 

I've search many site and i've not been able to find a working solution.

I've check the redirection, everything seems ok

here is the complete detail message

If you run

get-mailbox username | select identity, languages

what does it return? If it isn't valid, then you can change it.

set-mailbox username -language 1033

(1033 is US English).

Hello Simon,

I appreciate the cmdlet you gave me, it actually helped me set the language back to $null and then i can make more test (no longer need to create a new box for testing purposes)

I was using my user to set the problematic user regional setting in the ECP, was working good as a working around  but what would it take to fix it and let user choose their language by themself.

Set the language code to 0 (not null). That should give you the page again.

Hello Simon,

Sorry for the delay, after some reading and some posting (i posted the same on technet to be sure) and someone there suggested that i update the server with the latest SP3 CU8 (i was on CU6) and it fixed the problem.

Though i appreciate your help
