Problem with "HTTPS Bindings Monitor (Default Web Site)" on IIS for Exchange 2019

Exchange 2019

Microsoft IIS: red -> Default Web Site: red -> HTTP Bindings Monitor (Default Web Site): down and shows " Access denied, authorization failed. The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden."

I go to the Apllication Monitor Settings -> AppInsight for IIS -> Component Monitor "Sites" is red

Test connections: ok -> Credentials, PowerShell URL and PowerShell WebAdministration module tested successfully.

Configuring the IIS Server -> Configuration completed successfully.

Everything works fine on this Exchange Server, so what is the problem?

@JoachimT, The issue is not with SolarWinds' ability to poll the site or anything like that, it is reporting to you what the site is reporting you can confirm this by navigating to the site that is reporting the Forbidden error, what does it say? I'd imagine it is responding with a forbidden, which is likely done on purpose considering it is an Exchange server. You can either address the fact that it is a 403, or if you in fact do not care about any HTTP binding information and only care about the HTTPS binding information you can disable that component.

I would love to disable this component, but in this instance I cant to anything, please see screenshot. When im on "HTTP Bindings Monitor for Microsoft IIS " and select to edit the appliaction monitor, it forwards me to "AppInsight for IIS Template"

The only thing I was able to do was to "unmanage" the "Default Web site".

The "https binding monitor" alert goes away instantly.

The "AppInsight for IIS -> Microsoft IIS" alert still exists then for some time, but also resolve itself.

@JoachimT, to disable the the HTTP Binding Monitor you must expand the component name called "HTTP Bindings Monitor", the setting is not found under the "Sites" component.
