An Unexpected Redirect Response was Received

Topic Last Modified: 2009-08-18

The Microsoft Remote Connectivity Analyzer sends an HTTP request to the Exchange Server to verify that it can successfully connect to features including Outlook Web Access, Exchange ActiveSync, and Outlook Anywhere. A successful response should appear as an HTTP 200 (or 207). When the Microsoft Remote Connectivity Analyzer receives a redirect response (that is, 301, 302, 302) instead of a 200 or 207, it displays the following error message.

"An unexpected Redirect Response was received."

This error message indicates that you have an HTTP redirect configured in IIS for one or more Exchange applications in a manner that is not expected or supported.
