OWA version: 14.1.355.2
Exchange 2010 Outlook Web App loads the login form page for users of OWA but after login an error page is displayed that displays an error indicating that Outlook Web App cannot initialize. This is an authentication issue.
In the case of the blogged server situation. The SSL cert was purchased form digicert.com and applied successfully. The problem was the settings in IIS and in Exchange management console for client access of Outlook Web Access (now called outlook web app) were not "matching".
Server configuration > client access > OWA properties > Authentication Tab
Select Use Forms Based, Username only. Enter your logon domain (your local internal Active Directory domain).
Next, in IIS7, go to the following spot in the tree under Default Website and set the authentication like the following image shows.
That's all I had to do on my Exchange 2010 and Exchange 2016 server to get past the OWA error message after login in of:
Outlook Web App didn't initialize.
RDP manager software can help with application issues.
RDP manager software plays a crucial role in resolving Outlook application issues by providing professionals with a centralized platform to manage and troubleshoot various aspects of the application. Firstly, this software allows IT administrators to remotely connect to desktops or servers that are experiencing Outlook problems, enabling them to quickly identify and resolve any underlying issues. Additionally, RDP manager software enhances efficiency by providing functionalities like session management, which allows multiple users to simultaneously access and work on the same session without interrupting each other's progress. OWA or Outlook is only one example of many where RDP connection management software enables a centralized platform for initiating a support experience for the end-user. Furthermore, it offers features such as file sharing and collaboration tools that facilitate seamless communication between team members, enabling them to address Outlook problems collectively. Overall, the RDP manager software streamlines troubleshooting processes by offering a comprehensive set of tools and capabilities that ensure efficient resolution of application issues in a professional setting. Similar to RDCMan, the software facilitates the creation of a list of re-usable RDP connections. RDCMan requires installation and to use on multiple computers or laptops, the list has to be exported and imported.
