While monitoring Exchange 2010, you receive web exception errors for the Client Access Server (CAS) role ActiveSync checks. The alert indicates that the remote server returned an internal server error. This occurs when the Exchange Servers group does not have appropriate permissions to the mailbox object in Active Directory (AD).
Follow this article to apply inheritable permissions for the Exchange Server group to the corresponding mailbox object in AD.
