It fails at the Validate Hybrid Agent for Exchange Usage. The error I am seeing in the log is: ERROR 10349 The connection to the server 'guid.resource.mailboxmigration.his.msappproxy.net' could not be completed.... unable to connect to the remote server with the credentials provided. The call to 'https://guid.resourec.mailboxmigration.his.msappproxy.net/EWS/mrsproxy.svc' failed. Error details: The HTTP request is unauthorized with client authentication scheme 'Negotiate'. The authentication header received from the server was 'Basic realm I have disabled and re-enabled MRSProxy, I have enabled basic authentication on the EWS site. Am I using the wrong credentials there? If so, what am I supposed to use there?

    Hi @ Ryan Wilderman ,

    The core computer requirements for installing the Hybrid Agent are the same as described in the following list:

    1.Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2016, or Windows Server 2019

    2..NET Framework 4.7.2 or later.

    3.TLS 1.2 enabled.

    4.Azure Application Proxy

    5.Capable of establishing outbound HTTPS connections to the internet.

    6.Capable of establishing HTTPS connections to the Exchange Server chosen for hybrid configuration.

    We recommend that you check that the following settings are enabled on the computer where the Hybrid Agent is currently installed:

    1.Check whether TLS 1.2 is enabled.

    2.Check that the outbound ports HTTPS (TCP) 443 and 80 are open between the computers where the hybrid agent is installed.

    For more prerequisites, please refer to this link:Microsoft Hybrid Agent | Microsoft Learn

    According to the error message, we could know this issue is related to MRSProxy. After disabling and enabling it, don’t forget to restart Internet Information Services (IIS) using the iisreset command. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/3063913/the-remote-server-returned-an-error-403-forbidden-error-when-you-try-t  and please enable Basic Authentication on Web Services Virtual Directory: Set-WebServicesVirtualDirectory –identity SERVERNAME\EWS (Default Web Site) -BasicAuthentication $TRUE If the issue persists, please provide the result of Get-WebServicesVirtualDirectory|fl and also can refer to the following article to troubleshoot: https://docs.microsoft.com/zh-cn/archive/blogs/exovoice/troubleshooting-issues-where-the-migration-endpoint-cannot-be-created-in-hybrid-scenarios

    Hi @ Ryan Wilderman ,

    The Mailbox Replication Service was unable to connect to the remote server using the credentials provided. Please check the credentials and try again. The call to 'https://6fbbfcd9-9983-4bc7-8c9f-d44e461f6d24.resource.mailboxmigration.his.msappproxy.net/EWS/mrsproxy.svc' failed. Error details: The HTTP request is unauthorized with client authentication scheme 'Negotiate'. The authentication header received from the server was 'Basic realm="6fbbfcd9-9983-4bc7-8c9f-d44e461f6d24.resource.mailboxmigration.his.msappproxy.net",Negotiate,NTLM'. --> The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized.. --> The HTTP request is unauthorized with client authentication scheme 'Negotiate'. The authentication header received from the server was 'Basic realm="6fbbfcd9-9983-4bc7-8c9f-d44e461f6d24.
                                          resource.mailboxmigration.his.msappproxy.net",Negotiate,NTLM'.
    

    Based on this error message, the issue may be due to the migration endpoint password in wrong on On-Premises end.  

    I recommend that you refer to the following link to reset the password for the account used to set up the migration endpoint to see if the issue persists:
