Details

Product Name	Exchange
Product Version	14.0 (Exchange 2010)
Event ID	1106
Event Source	MSExchange Autodiscover
Alert Type	Warning
Rule Path	Microsoft Exchange Server/Exchange 2010/Client Access/Auto Discovery
Rule Name	The provider that was requested for the Autodiscover service could not be loaded.

Explanation

This Error event indicates that the providers could not be loaded for the Microsoft Exchange Autodiscover service. Providers are components that Autodiscover calls when a client like Outlook sends a request. Autodiscover will direct the request to a provider for processing. The error can be caused because the provider file is corrupted or is in an incorrect format, or the provider file has insufficient permissions (that is, Autodiscover does not have sufficient permission to read the file).

User Action

To resolve this error, do one or more of the following:

Check the Autodiscover service configuration on the Exchange Client Access server.
Check the Application event log for the error description to determine the exact cause of the error.
Review the Application log and System log on your Exchange 2010 servers for related events. For example, events that occur immediately before and after this event may provide more information about the root cause of this error.
Resolve your issue by using self-support options, assisted support options, and other resources. You can access these resources from the Exchange Server Solutions Center. From this page, click Self-Support Options in the navigation pane to use self-help options. Self-help options include searching the Microsoft Knowledge Base, posting a question at the Exchange Server forums, and others. Alternatively, in the navigation pane, you can click Assisted Support Options to contact a Microsoft support professional. Because your organization may have a specific procedure for directly contacting Microsoft Technical Support, be sure to review your organization's guidelines first.
