Custom event details:
If you check the C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\ClientAccess\owa\web.config and search for AntiXSSLibrary you will only find one hit, however no .dll. So the file must be inherited somewhere else. A closer inspection showed that the linkedConfiguration section mention the file C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\ClientAccess\SharedWebConfig.config. BUT on the exchange server this file is missing. If you open the file on another Exchange 2016 server you can see that it references to C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\bin\AntiXssLibrary.dll.
So the quick (and maybe dirty) solution might be to copy the missing C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\ClientAccess\SharedWebConfig.config from one Exchange 2016 server to your current one which has the file missing.
