Alert Type	Error
Rule Path	Microsoft Exchange Server/Exchange 2010/Client Access/Outlook Web Access
Rule Name	The Outlook Web App proxy failed because of a version mismatch between the source and destination servers.

Explanation

This Error event indicates that a Microsoft Office Outlook Web App proxy request failed when it was sent from one computer that is running the Client Access server role to another Client Access server. This error is logged when the version of the Outlook Web App resources folders on one Client Access server does not match the version on the other Client Access server.

User Action

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

Make sure that both Client Access servers are running the same version of Exchange Server 2010, including Exchange 2010 service packs and software updates.
If it is required that you run versions of Exchange that are not identical on your Client Access servers, follow these steps:
1. Locate the Outlook Web App resources folder on the Client Access server that received the proxy request. The default location of the resources folder is C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V14\ClientAccess\Owa\<Version>, where C:\ is the directory to which Exchange was installed.
2. Copy the Outlook Web App resources folder to the proxying Client Access server.
3. Restart Internet Information Services (IIS) by using the command iisreset/noforce.
Note The name of the resources folder <Version> is indicated by the version of the Client Access server referenced in the event description.
