Exchange 2003 and OWA

[uk101man]

Hi All,


I'm dealing with a strange issue at the moment and was wondering if anyone else has had this issue.

OWA was working fine, then this morning users were complaining that there is no icons and it's taking ages to load. So I tried to log on this morning and was met by the say issue, see attached.

I have tried the two KB from M$ but they didn't work. I can resolve the problem by IIS--> ExchWeb --> Directory Security --> Authentication and access control --> Ticking Integrated Windows authentication and then select all in the Inheritance Overrides window. The only thing is that the fix last for a few minutes and reverts back to what it should be.

Help

Are you using a dedicated (front end) server to deliver OWA?

If so, I have seen this before when the Back End server and the Front End server have are slightly out of step with exchange patches.

Nope just one server

Hi,

I think some settings to do with authentication needs to be done via the ESM rather than IIS otherwise you will get the symptoms you are describing where it will override the settings at the next update interval.

I'm not sure what kinds of things you need to do but see if you can do the settings from ESM rather than IIS and see if it holds the settings.

HTH,

Ash.
