Symptoms
In a Microsoft Skype for Business Server 2019 or 2015 environment, you run the Test-CsUcwaConference cmdlet to verify that a pair of users can schedule, join, and then conduct an online conference by using the Unified Communications Web API (UCWA). In this scenario, the test fails, and the outputs return a "Failed creating application activity" error message. For example:
$cred1 = Get-Credential "CONTOSO\User1" $cred2 = Get-Credential "CONTOSO\User2" Test-CsUcwaConference -OrganizerSipAddress sip:User1@contoso.com -OrganizerCredential $cred1 -ParticipantSipAddress sip:User2@contoso.com -ParticipantCredential $cred2 -TargetFqdn pool.contoso.com Target Fqdn: pool.contoso.com Target Uri: Result: Failure Latency: 00:00:01.3141048 Error Message : Failed creating application activity. Inner Exception:One or more errors occurred. Inner Exception:One or more errors occurred. Inner Exception:Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
The commands that are shown here test the ability of a pair of users (CONTOSO\User1 and CONTOSO\User2) to participate in a UCWA online conference.
