Borked Exchange 2003 OWA

[Ric_]

Just installed Exchange 2003 on a new server. All works well but when you try to access OWA, the following appears (see pic).

 

If you try to view what are supposed to be pics, you get an access denied message.

 

I have already tried doing a re-install of Exchange from the setup disc and I have reapplied SP1. This leads me to think it might be an IIS issue.

 

Any ideas?

Permissions on the ExchWeb folder?

Permissions on the ExchWeb folder?

 

The permissions are as they ere setup by the Exchange installation. They have been compared with the permissions of ChrisH's installation and Dos_Box's and they appear to be the same.

 

I'm thinking it may be something deeper in IIS - a reinstall of IIS would probably help but to do that I think I would need to remove Exchange which I want to try to avoid. If this isn't the case let me know!

A long shot, but try stopping both the Exchange & IIS services together, and then restarting them both.

Just found the following on MsExchange.org. Not sure if it's the solution...

 

OWA web pages have broken links

 

Let us know if it works...

Fixed it!

 

I have recreated and reset the password on the IUSR_SERVERNAME account and now I can see the lovely OWA GUI!

 

Today is looking up!

Hmm thought you did that last night?

Hmm thought you did that last night?

 

I thought I had!

 

I read a post on MSExchange.org which mentioned it so I thought, why not do it again (where's the harm and all that). Then it worked.
