I have a problem with Exchange 2013 and the OWAProxyMonitor. Maybe someone can help me or tell me what I should do to get this fixed. I just opened a MS case ([REG:113061110504400]) about the problem with the OWYProxyMonitor Health Check being unhealthy.
The problem is, when I set the authentication of the OWAVirtualDirectory to Basic and Windows authentication, the OWAProxyMonitor HealthCheck becomes unhealthy and I get the following error message in the Monitoring eventlog:
-------------------------------------------------
The OWA.Proxy health set has detected a problem on EXSERVER beginning at 6/11/2013 1:21:26 PM (UTC). The health manager is reporting that recycling the MSExchangeOWAAppPool app pool has failed to restore health and it has requested the protocol be marked offline. Attempts to auto-recover from this condition have failed and requires Administrator attention. Details below:

When I change the authentication from Basic and Windows authentication to FBA, Health Monitoring reports a healthy state of the OWAProxyMonitor.
Actually Im publishing Exchange with UAG 2010 SP3 and I have to set the OWA authentication from FBA to Basic for dont getting the double authentication problem. If I set authentication to FBA, I have to authenticate me at the UAG logon screen and then at the OWA logon (Exchange).
OWA and OWA Proxy to 2010 works internally and externally fine . The Microsoft technician told me that the health monitoring is only a visual failure and everything is OK.
Is there a solution to get this fixed?
