I hate this…. And most likely you too otherwise you didn’t end up here

When logged on to an Exchange server, ready for starting the Hybrid Configuration Wizard, you try to logon to Exchange Online you end up with a warning (or ‘error’) message:

We can’t sign you in

Your browser is currently set to block JavaScript. You need to allow JavaScript to use this service.

To learn how to allow JavaScript or to find out whether your browser supports JavaScript, check the online help in your web browser.

Now scroll all the way down (or press page down 12 times ) and enable Active Scripting:

You will get a warning message “Are you sure you want to change the settings for this zone”, click Yes and click OK.

Restart your Internet Explorer browser and you can login on Exchange Online and continue with the Hybrid Configuration Wizard (or whatever you were trying to achieve).

In Exchange 2013 you could use the Office Web Apps server in combination with Exchange server to view attachments online, without having to download these attachments first to the local workstation.

Error 600 Invalid Request

It is possible to test the autodiscover configuration using a browser. But when navigating to the autodiscover URL https://autodiscover.contoso.com/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml you’ll see a 600 Invalid Request error message.

When you see this message your autodiscover configuration is absolutely fine! The reason you see this message is that the autodiscover service expects an HTTP POST command from Outlook, and not an HTTP GET command from Internet Explorer.

So, the service is good but the actual request that’s send to the autodiscover service is not good and therefore autodiscover returns the Error 600 Invalid Request message. So this error is good 🙂
