Details

Product Name	Exchange
Product Version	14.0 (Exchange 2010)
Event ID	41
Event Source	MSExchange OWA
Alert Type	Error
Rule Path	Microsoft Exchange Server/Exchange 2010/Client Access/Outlook Web Access
Rule Name	The Outlook Web App proxy failed because no Outlook Web App virtual directory configured for Kerberos authentication could be found in the site.

Explanation

This Error event indicates that the computer that is running the Client Access server role could not determine whether the Microsoft Office Outlook Web App request should be processed by the local Client Access server, or if it should be redirected to another Client Access server that is located in a different Active Directory site. Therefore, the user who owns the mailbox specified in the event description cannot access their mailbox through Outlook Web App. This event may occur if the settings for the Outlook Web App virtual directory are configured incorrectly.

For more information about Outlook Web App proxying and redirection, see Understanding Proxying and Redirection.

User Action

To resolve this error, take one or more of these steps:

Make sure that the msExchInternalHostName (Internal URL) attribute of the Outlook Web App virtual directory exists and it matches the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the Client Access server.
Make sure that the Client Access server that receives the proxy request has Integrated Windows authentication enabled on the Outlook Web App virtual directory.
