Hi, first time commenter, thanks for your help in advance!
Please describe the issue in 2-3 sentences. Include what you're trying to accomplish when the issue occurs.
I noticed that our server had a warning, that the certificate used for remote web access at company.remotewebaccess.com is expiring within thirty days. I want to renew the certificate, so that the remote web access will remain usable. When I try to re-run the RWA wizard, I can not login in any way and can't continue.
When did it begin and how often does it occur?
- I tried different ways and accounts to configure the remote web access via the essentials dashboard on the server to recreate the current company.remotewebaccess.com as a "new" domain, not to release it first and then re-run). I've also tried to add a totally new companypseudonym.remotewebaccess.com - either way doesn't work
What errors do you see?
- when trying to add a domain, I am prompted to signin to a microsoft account. it does not recognize any of our microsoft accounts, nor a a brand new one microsoft account that is created. I also tried the github login, but that does not go through either.
- Right now when I try yet again, I just get a blank white screen
- 
What's the environment and are there recent changes?
- Windows server essentials 2016. Server has been patched and updated to the latest available via windows updates in the windows server dashboard log, I sometimes see:
GitmeInfrastructure: Failed to download global valid TLDs from the online service: System.Net.WebException: The remote name could not be resolved: 'www.microsoft-sbs-domains.com'
Before that the server gave ddns errors, that it can't connect to microsofts servers I guess. I was able to correct that via these registry settings https://www.askwoody.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/RWA-fix.reg_.txt
What have you tried to troubleshoot this?
- Googled my ass off, no alas. I tried turning off Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration, since I figured it might block some sites that are not in the trusted zones (which I have also added, the ones I can find related to o365 logins). Rebooted the server, tried to repair (multiple times).
