Event InformationAccording to Microsoft :

Cause :

This event may appear when both of the following conditions are true:
  1. Exchange 2003 servers are configured in a front-end/back-end configuration.
  2. The back-end Exchange 2003 server is configured to use only Basic authentication.
The text of this message implies that both the front-end server and the back-end server must be configured to use Integrated Windows authentication. This is incorrect. Only the back-end Exchange 2003 server must be configured to use Integrated Windows authentication.

Microsoft Exchange Server has detected that Basic authentication is being attempted between this server and server %1. This authentication mechanism is not secure and it is not supported between front-end and back-end servers. If this condition persists, verify that server %1 is correctly configured to use Integrated Windows Authentication for each virtual directory used by Exchange. You may have to restart Internet Information Services on both the front-end and back-end servers after any changes are applied.

Resolution :

Verify that the back-end server listed in the event description is configured to use Integrated Windows authentication, and that all front-end servers are configured to use Basic Authentication. If any authentication method changes are made to the front-end or back-end servers, restart the IIS Admin service on the front-end and back-end servers.
