New-SPWOPIBinding throws "WARNING: The server did not respond".

Hi,

    I have installed the office web apps in another server. Which is in another domain, sharepoint server is in another domain. Both were in various Lan. I am now trying to configure the office web apps in sharepoint.

When i enter the command

New-SPWOPIBinding -ServerName <WacServerName> -AllowHTTP

I get an error as WARNING: The server did not respond. Trying again (attempt 1 of 5).
WARNING: The server did not respond. Trying again (attempt 2 of 5).
WARNING: The server did not respond. Trying again (attempt 3 of 5).
WARNING: The server did not respond. Trying again (attempt 4 of 5).

Is there a two way trust between the two domains?  If not then I suspect you are having authentication issues.  The other thing I would check is to see if Windows Firewall is turned on for either computer.  This can often cause issues with server to server communication.

If you use the address http://servername/hosting/discovery in a browser on the SharePoint server do you get an XML response?  

If you setup the WAC server to allowHTTP then the blog article you referenced does not apply.  Its talking about setting up WAC to use https.

I have created a two way trust "realm type" But there isn't any validate button there.

Firewall has been off in two server machine.

How to check the check the authentication issues ?


Does both servers need to be in same VLAN ?
