The Forefront Identity Manager Service cannot connect to the Exchange Web Service.

The connection failure may be due to a network failure, firewall configuration error, or other connection issue.  Additionally, the failure may be due to incorrect Exchange Web Service configuration.

Verify that the Exchange Web Service is reachable from the Forefront Identity Manager Service computer.  Ensure that Exchange is running, that the network connection is active, and that the firewall is configured properly.
