HI, Can any one tell me how to check Exchange Web Service working or not in Exchange Server 2007 ? Ruban.c

You can use the cmdlet Test-WebServicesConnectivity to check that. PS. Questions about previous versions (like Exchange 2007) should be asked here Martina Miskovic

Hi, You can use a EWS Editor tool to check the EWS is working or not. Is there any client impact due to EWS? Regards, Prashanna

Hi Prasana, Due to this EWS issue users who all are connecting to particular CAS servers not able access there Mailbox via customized OWA. if i point to another CAS server they can able to login. So that i want to check EWS is working fine or not... Ruban.C

I don't think EWS is related to OWA in the way you think it is. EWS is a programming API and is so named because it allows a programmer to access mailbox data using XML formatted requests sent via HTTP ports. So, I think you just want to check whether IIS is working or not. What happens if you go to the default web site on the affected CAS server, instead of OWA. I.e. what is displayed if you go to https://yourCASservername instead of https://yourCASServername/owa ? Do you see the default IIS landing page? Or just an error message?Mobile OWA For Smartphone www.leederbyshire.com email a@t leederbyshire d.0.t c.0.m

HI Ruban, As lee mentioned EWS is not responsible for OWA logon process. Customized OWA, you mean to say customized forms-based authentication logon page for OWA? Regards, Prashanna

Dear Prashana, Yes, We have Customized OWA page for logon process. while accessing https://www.mail.xxxxx.in/owa user can able to logon and access their mailbox. But while accessing customized OWA page https://www.mail.xxxxx.in user mailbox not able to access

It sounds like you have configured the server to redirect the default web site https://www.mail.xxxxx.in to https://www.mail.xxxxx.in/owa if the customised page works when you go to https://www.mail.xxxxx.in/owa , then maybe it is the redirection that is broken, not the logon page. So, what is displayed when you go to https://www.mail.xxxxx.in ? You say that the mailbox isn't displayed, but is there some kind of error message? Or just a blank page?

Well, as Martina suggested in an earlier message, you can use the Test-WebServicesConnectivity cmdlet to test your EWS: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa998328(v=exchg.80).aspx But EWS is not OWA. EWS is a programming API. Without seeing the code for your customized page, we can't tell if it even uses EWS (for example, it might use WebDAV). If your customized page is a page that is meant to show your mailbox contents, and doesn't have anything to do with OWA, and you are sure that it uses EWS to access mailbox data, then yes - maybe your EWS isn't working. But the best way to test it is to try Test-WebServicesConnectivity . There is an example here: http://www.msexchange.org/articles-tutorials/exchange-server-2007/monitoring-operations/testing-exchange-2007-powershell-part2.html but note that instead of typing NGH\administrator, you will need to supply a domain name and username of your own, like this: YOURDOMAIN\YOURUSERNAME .Mobile OWA For Smartphone www.leederbyshire.com email a@t leederbyshire d.0.t c.0.m

Dear Lee, nothing redirection of default web page ! IN my customer site we have two Web access page for accessing mailbox. 1) https://www.mail.xxxxx.in ( Customized Page) --> in this page user can login only via their Emp Code no character are accepted eg : ruban.hcl@xxxx.in will not accept only 446656@xxxx.in accept 2) https://www.mail.xxxxx.in/owa ( MS Exchange Default OWA PAge) -- > both emp code & character will accept in this page.. Problem is user trying to access their mailbox via https://www.mail.xxxxx.in customized page appear after given credential mailbox not opening !! but while access https://www.mail.xxxxx.in/owa user able to view their mailboxes without any issue !! My question was is there any problem in EWS ???

Dear Lee, after running the Test-WebServicesConnectivity command on my CAS servers im getting the below same error . can you please help me ..

First this: >Due to this EWS issue users who all are connecting to particular CAS servers not able access there Mailbox via >customized OWA. if i point to another CAS server they can able to login. If the customized OWA works with the other CAS, look at the configuration in IIS and configure the other CAS (one that does not work) the same way. You have... www.mail.xxxxx.in yet you say: no redirection of default web page??? Usuually, the virtual directory is designated after "/" when their is no redirection. There may be a way to make it work but without more details on your customization, it will be hard to say. *** As for the Test-WebServicesConenctvity error, it does not necessarily indicate a problem with EWS but rather a problem with your certificate. See this discussion: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/exchangesvrgenerallegacy/thread/c0623494-1faa-4817-88d9-476375d9729c In paticular, try the command with this switch after: -TrustAnySSLCertificate If it passes then, that should rule out any EWS configuration problem for you. By the way, as I mention in my discussion above (link), OWA works just fine for me despite that error (though I have no customization).Please mark as helpful if you find my contribution useful or as an answer if it does answer your question. That will encourage me - and others - to take time out to help you.

HI, after i tried the command -TrustAnySSLCertificate below error occurs !! [System.Net.webExecption]:the under lying connection was closed:An unexpected error occured on a send.inner error [system.IO.IOexception]: unable to read data from the transport connection: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.

You used NGH\Administrator in the command line? That is just an example account name in the MS web page: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa998328(v=exchg.80).aspx Use your own domain and account name instead. And include the -TrustAnySSLCertificate parameter, too. Something like this (although I can't see all the parameters you already used in your attached screen shot) Test-WebServicesConnectivity -ClientAccessServer e2k7 -MailboxCredential (Get-Credential YOURDOMAIN\YOURUSERNAME) -TrustAnySSLCertificateMobile OWA For Smartphone www.leederbyshire.com email a@t leederbyshire d.0.t c.0.m

Dear Lee, i used below command for test the web service Test-WebServicesConnectivity -ClientAccessServer e2k7 -MailboxCredential (Get-Credential xxx\username) -TrustAnySSLCertificate. Getting below error !! [System.Net.webExecption]:the under lying connection was closed:An unexpected error occured on a send.inner error [system.IO.IOexception]: unable to read data from the transport connection: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.

Are you running this on the CAS itself? Looking at some online sources, it looks like that error could be due to ports not being open. Or possibly a DNS problem. That error can occur for other systems than Exchange (SQL, etc.) so it's difficult to see what, exactly, could be causing this to happen in Exchange. Could you do me a favor? Run the ExBPA (Best Practices Analyser) in the Exchange EMC, under "Tools". If you look at the resulting options, it should be toward the top. Does ExBPA indicate you have any problems with your configuration?Please mark as helpful if you find my contribution useful or as an answer if it does answer your question. That will encourage me - and others - to take time out to help you.
