Explanation

This event indicates that a proxy Web request to a remote Active Directory forest cannot be issued because of invalid credentials. When the Microsoft Exchange Availability service cannot directly connect to a mailbox that resides in a remote Active Directory forest, it sends a proxy Web request to another instance of the Exchange Availability service that is running in the remote Active Directory forest. The Exchange Availability service that is running in the remote Active Directory forest retrieves the requested information locally and passes the information back to the Exchange Availability service that requested the information. This event is logged on the Exchange server that sends a Web request to the Availability service that is running in the remote Active Directory forest.
