@emadadel2008 

 

From the Exchange Management Shell, run the following commands;

 

Remove-OwaVirtualDirectory 'servername\owa <Default Web Site>'

 

Press to confirm. 

 

New-OwaVirtualDirectory –WebsiteName ‘Default Web site’

 

Restart the server, and try and connect to ECP again.  Should work now.

Did this work for you may I ask? :smile:

@emadadel2008 - I had similar issue and found out that the Domain Controller and Exchange server was out of sync. Once they were sync'd, I was able to login to OWA and ECP.

@CBDCTMUser  I'm having the same issue. can't remove the vdir coz the exch and DC is not in sync. How did you sync them ?
