Our environment includes two on-prem Exchange 2013 servers that are members of the same DAG, running Version 15.0 (Build 1156.6).
I'm running into a problem in the Exchange Control Panel when I go to configure Federation Trust. Under 'Organization' > 'Sharing' > and under the 'Federation Trust' Header, there's a 'modify' button. When I click the button, a new browser page opens with a '500 Unexpected Error' message.
In the 'Application' event log on our Exchange Servers I'm seeing the following error being generated after the 500 error is thrown:
