Exchange 2013 "Server Error in '/owa' Application" - System.Xml.XmlException: '.', hexadecimal value 0x00, is an invalid character. Line 1, position 1

Out of nowhere...literally this started happening to our standalone Exchange server / Domain Controller
Operating System: Microsoft Windows Server 2012 Standard
Problem Child: Microsoft Exchange Server 2013
Error: When i try to login to the OWA or ECP i receive the listed errors above.
OS and Exchange installed on C:\
Mailbox Databases installed on D:\
Mailbox Logs on E:\
Outlook is still working for the end-user, but Outlook Web Access, ECP and all other features required to make this server manageable are failing. I can access the login screen, though at:
https://<servername>/owa
or
https://<servername>/ecp
I have tried reset of virtual directories. Tried IISRESET /NOFORCE after this, but no success.

Hi MRXennix,
Base on my research, the issue is caused by corrupted Killbit.xml file on "ClientAccess\owa\15.0.xxx.x\owa2\ext\killbit".
I recommend you refer to the following method to solved the issue:
1. Remove the Killbit.xml file and restart IIS
2. Install the latest CU builds of the exchange 2013.
Best regards,

SBS 2011 Exchange 2010 Server Error in '/owa' Application

I have some configuration issues somewhere and haven't been able to track down the culprit. I get the
Server Error in '/owa' Application
runtime error after I log into the remote website and click on email. Activesync is working fine, email though a client works fine. If I just go straight to remote.landisoffice.com/owa I am prompted for credentials, when I enter them, I get a webpage cannot
be found error in IE. I get the same result when I try to browse from the exchange server. are there iis logs that might help me track down the cause? I've found several threads on this error, but none seem to be the same issue. I am running rollup 7 for sp3
already.
I've also noticed that if I go to http://remote.landisoffice.com/owa I get the page not found, but if I go to https://remote.landisoffice.com/owa I get the above mentioned error page.

Hi Rodge,
Please use
SBS BPA and Exchange BPA, then check if find some relevant issues.
Meanwhile, please run
Test-OwaConnectivity |FL command in the EMS. Any find?
Please also navigate to:
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.NET File and check if find owa directory. If find, please change it to owa.old, then restart IIS and monitor the result.

By the way, would you please let me know the complete error message that you can get. Or provide a screenshot
of it (please hide all proteted or private information).
If any update, please feel free to let me know.
Hope this helps.

Getting error when I try to remove eum secondary email address from the Mailbox from Exchange 2013 server

Getting error when I try to remove eum secondary email address from the Mailbox from Exchange 2013 server. The command works if you issue directly from the server exchange shell.
I open the remote power shell to the exchange server 2013.
Issue the following commands and getting the following error.
$mailbox = Get-Mailbox -Identity testuser$mailbox.EmailAddresses -= "eum:50004;phone-context=telExt5digits.lync5.com"Then getting the following error:Method invocation failed because [System.Collections.ArrayList] doesn't contain a method named 'op_Subtraction'.
At line:1 char:27
+ $mailbox.EmailAddresses -= <<<< "eum:50004;phone-context=telExt5digits.lync5.com"
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: (op_Subtraction:String) [], RuntimeException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : MethodNotFoundHelp!

Now for an answer - your remote session doesn't have the same object you have on the server itself. Notice it says this is an array list, not a ProxyAddressCollection. If you need to work around this, you'll need to massage the addresses another
way that the system will accept. I'd try the following:
$NewAddresses = $mailboxEmailAddresses | ? { $_ -notlike "eum:50004;phone-context=telExt5digits.lync5.com" }
See what you get in the $NewAddresses variable when you do this.

Server Error in '/ecp' Application. Runtime Error

When I try to logon to ECP I get the message below. I have tried recreating the virtual directory but this did no good. This happened after doing an update on Friday. Thanks Microsoft. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
Server Error in '/ecp' Application.
Runtime Error
Description: An exception occurred while processing your request. Additionally, another exception occurred while executing the custom error page for the first exception. The request has been terminated.

Hi,
What’s update have you applied to Exchange?
Is there any issue while trying to access OWA?
Please take your time to collect some events related to this issue from application logs.
Based on my experience, I saw the same errors after installing CU6 in other similar threads. In that case the scenario is that the OWA related files are not copied correctly. Themes folder "C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\ClientAccess\owa\prem\15.0.995.31\resources\themes"
doesn't exist. That issue solved by the following steps:
Stop all the Exchange related Services
Backup the
15.0.995.31 to a different directory
Copy the files and folders from 15.0.995.29 to 15.0.995.31
Start all the Exchange related services

Office web apps "Server error in '/wv' Application"

Hi, I successfully installed office web app for sharepoint 2013. However, when I tried to open documents, it shows the preview but once view/edit in browser, I got this error. What seems to be the problem?
Server error in '/wv' Application.
Unable to determine zone from request

Hi ,
According to your description, my understanding is that you encountered the error “Server error in '/wv' Application. Unable to determine zone from request” when you open document using Office Web Apps.
Are you using https:// to access the Office Web Apps server? Is the default zone of your web application in Alternate Access Mappings using http:// ?
If so, you can change the default zone
of your web application in Alternate Access Mappings to use https:// .
Or set AllowOAuthOverHttp to true:
$config = (Get-SPSecurityTokenServiceConfig)
$config.AllowOAuthOverHttp = $true
$config.Update()

Make sure you're using the latest SP:
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100009038092009E/cr2008win_sp2.exe
Consider adding latest FP also:
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100001024152010E/cr2008_fp24.zip
Make sure you are disposing of the report object once you are done with it and before you re-run it with new parameters (.close, .dispose).
Test without the combo box. Let the report prompt. Can you reproduce the behavior now? If not, try to supply the parameter values via a text box. Can you reproduce the issue now? E.g.; is it the combo box that is the issue, or the report?

Second Exchange 2013 server in remote site

Just finished migrating from 2007 to 2013 and decommissioned 2007. Exchange 2013 is running in site A with 350 mailboxes on it. However, almost half of those users reside in site B so the plan is to introduce a second Exchange 2013 server to
this site and migrating mailboxes to it. There already exists a DC & GC in both sites.
My question is, immediately after I introduce Exchange 2013 into site B with CAS & MBX role, client computers from that site will start to receive certificate errors. Will updating the SCP on the new exchange server to point to the SCP on the exchange
server in site A be enough to mitigate that problem? What other precautions will I need to take? Has anybody been down this road?

Hi
You can introduce the second exchange server in the remote site and also setup a DAG. If you are using the same name on your certificate like mail.domain.com then you can use the cert for your second server as well. You need to make sure you have autodiscover
records setup correctly.

500 Internal Server Error BEx Web Application

Hello,
can everybody help for the fault, or had the same error ?
500 Internal Server Error
BEx Web Application
Failed to process request; contact your system administrator
Error Summary
Exception occured while processing the current request; this exception cannot be handled by the application or framework
If the information on this page does not help you locate and correct the cause of the problem, contact your system administrator
To facilitate analysis of the problem, keep a copy of this error page Hint: Most Web browsers allow you to select all content, and copy and paste it into an empty document (such as in an email or simple text file)
Root Cause
The initial exception that caused the request to fail was:
Cannot get connection for 60 seconds. Possible reasons: 1) Connections are cached within SystemThread(can be any server service or any code invoked within SystemThread in the SAP J2EE Engine), 2) The pool size of adapter "SAPFactory" is not enough according to the current load of the system or 3) The specified time to wait for connection is not enough according to the pool size and current load of the system. In case 1) the solution is to check for cached connections using the Connector Service list-conns command, in case 2) to increase the size of the pool and in case 3) to increase the time to wait for connection property. In case of application thread, there is an automatic mechanism which detects unclosed connections and unfinished transactions.

Can't recover exchange 2013 server using recoverserver switch

CU5 crashed while installing on one of our 4 DAG members. I was able to coax it back to life with some manual steps and doing a repair of sp1, but was unable to get cu5 to install or to cleanly uninstall sp1 despite repeated tries.
Finally I decided to rebuild it and use recoverserver (after removing database copies and removing it from the DAG). I built a new server with the same name, reset the AD account, domain joined it, and then ran the /recoverserver switch. But
I get this error every time:
"Can't specify installation mode because no Exchange Server is installed on this machine. Install Exchange Server."

Hi,
As far as I know, to remove Exchange 2013 server, here are the additional steps except with removing objects through ADSIEdit:
1. Delete the Exchange Server installation folder: C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server
2. Delete the Exchange Back End and Front End websites with the IIS-Manager.
3. Delete the container in AD Users and Computers:
DiscoverySearch Mailbox{GUID}
Exchange Online-ApplicationAccount
FederatedEmail.GUID
Migration.GUID
*SystemMailbox{GUID}
*HealthMailboxGUID
4. Delete the following registries:
the key “ExchangeServer” under: HKLM\Software\Microsoft
the keys “MSExchange*” under: HKLM\CurrentControlSet\Services

For some reason the setup did not install the basic theme.
You can do this yourself, by opening a command line and going to the program files directory for the installer.
C:\Program Files\SAP\SAP Business One Ecommerce and Web CRM\Installer
Then open the installer in tasks mode - installer.exe -tasks
Choose the instance you wish to modify and tick "Install Intro Theme" and click Execute.

Hi
Thank you for your support.
I have a Vista laptop that cannot connect to Report Manager URL. Same Windows account on an XP machine works just fine.

Hi Macca,
Per my understanding that you got the error message when access the report manager in the client vista machine which have't install the reporting services instance and access to the Windows XP machine works fine, right?
I assumed that you have installed the Reporting Services instance in this WIndows XP machine, Could you please check in the third machine with the vista os to see if you will got the same error message.
The issue can be caused by many factors:
If the third machine can connect to the report manager remotely, the issue can be caused by this vista machine.

https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb630430(v=sql.105).aspx
If the other machine also can't access the report manager, the issue caused by some configuration not correct for the remote connection(https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms156305.aspx)
If you are using Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008, you must configure Report Manager for local administration, please check to make sure the "Service Account" is the domain/user account which exists in the local administrator group.
Please check the rsreportserver.config file and make sure <RSWindowsNegotiate/> is the first value in <AuthenticationTypes> section. By default, the rsreportserver.config file is located in the path like: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS10_50.MSSQLSERVER\Reporting

Replace Exchange 2013 Server

Hi All,
Hopefully this is somewhat of an easy process.
I have a single Exchange 2013 server running on Windows Server 2012 R2. The server itself is a decent server; however, it was built with a poor design to it so we keep running out of resources.
I now have a newer system and I'd like to replace our current Exchange Server with this one. I've tried searching the web and the only results I seem to find is upgrading/migrating from an older version of Exchange.
How easy would this be to just replace hardware?

Couple of options:
- You can stand up a new 2013 server, move mailboxes.
- You could create a DAG, add 2nd server, seed DB's, make DB's active on new server, remove DB's from first server, decommission first server.

Addition of Exchange 2013 server to Exchange 2010 organization broke Exchange

This is somewhat of an emergency, since Exchange is down completely for us right now.
I just migrated from SBS2003 to Exchange 2010 on Windows 2012 over last weekend. Everything is now stable, and SBS2003 is shut down. Now I am attempting to migrate from Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013.
The plan was this:
Install Exchange 2013 on another server (Windows 2008R2)
Wait until everything is replicated
Remove the Exchange 2010 server from the organization
Uninstall Exchange 2010
Install Exchange 2013 on the Windows 2012 server
Wait until everything is replicated
Remove Exchange 2013 from the Windows 2008R2 server
But here is what actually happened:
Installed all Exchange 2013 prerequisites on the Windows 2008R2 server
Began Exchange 2013 server setup on the Windows 2008R2 server. Included both Mailbox & CAS roles
At step 11 of 15 (not sure what that was, though), received this error message:
Error: The following error was generated when "$error.Clear();
netsh advfirewall firewall set rule group="windows management instrumentation (wmi)" new enable=yes
" was run: "The term 'netsh' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct
and try again.".
And setup halted. I ran the netsh command via the command prompt, and it correctly said something about four rules being created or updated (not sure of exact verbiage). Now, when I try to restart setup, it says it is in the middle and will try to complete
but stays at 0%. But here is the most immediate issue:
Now I cannot access e-mail from any workstations (says Exchange server is unavailable)
Opening EMC on the Exchange 2010 server: I get as far as Microsoft Exchange -> Microsoft Exchange On-Premises and get this error:
The attempt to connect to http://[Exchange 2010 FQDN]/PowerShell using "Kerberos authentication failed: Processing data from remote server [Exchange 2010 FQDN] failed with the following error message:
Couldn't find Enterprise Organizaiton container. (Note that it refers to the local server as remote server)
I get an event 7031 on the Exchange 2010 server: The Microsoft Exchange Service Host service terminated unexpectedly
Opening the Exchange Management Shell on the Exchange 2010 server yields the same message regarding "Couldn't find the Enterprise Organization container..."
It also says, "Connecting to [Exchange 2013 server FQDN], then says connected to that server. Opening EMS on the Exchange 2013 server seems to connect correctly to the Exchange 2013 server, but there is no EM Console available there.
At this point, I am lost. I will continue to research this online but may have to call Microsoft soon, since we are entirely down at the moment. Any help is much appreciated!

All of the above, I believe. And E2003 is on the DC (and functioning just fine); E2012 on a member server (this is a very small environment--they have only the DC, a DB2 database server, and a lightly-used and old terminal server). I just spent 12 hours
on the phone with MS support on this issue, and it has now come down to this: the Exchange 2013 installation will not run to completion. It has failed repeatedly at a few points today, all related to the shell being unable to access Windows EXEs or environment
variables with variations on this error:
"...not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program..." for each of these:
netsh (windows exe)
sc.exe (windows exe)
hostname (windows command that returns workstation name)
These all work from the command prompt. I am currently stuck on sc.exe failing on each attempt to install Exchange 2013 or Exchange 2013 SP1. Nor can I just remove it--it insists on attempting to proceed with installation even with the manual command-line
argument to remove it instead.
At this point, I am awaiting a night call back from Microsoft support, since the technician that worked on it with me for 12 hours today had to go home.
