Exchange 2010 – Blank OWA Page?

Sometimes this happens after applying updates to Exchange! Firstly make sure all your services a running! From an administrative Powershell window run the following command;

Get-Service *Exchange* | Start-Service

ECP Blank Page: Solution

This happens because the website that runs the ‘Exchange Backend’ has lost the certificate for its https binding.

Then restart the site, or run ‘iisreset’, or simply reboot the server.
