OWA: Best course of action when OWA is generally defunct?
I have an Exchange 2003 server that was running beautifully until we found we had a problem managing public folders from Exchange System Manager, requiring a new SSL certificate to be generated. We were able to fix the System Manager problem, but then we found that OWA was broken. We get the dreaded "Page cannot be displayed" error when trying to go in on port 443, and attempts to go in through 80 results in a 404.3 error (must be viewed over SSL). Generally speaking, the Exchange server seems to be in good health - - it's only the Web-based parts of the system that seem hosed. Other web apps still run fine on the server, such as the management interface for Symantec Antivirus services. I've had various opinions from colleagues, ranging from applying patches to generating a new certificate to reinstalling Exchange. At this point, we've messed around with OWA settings so much that I have no idea what the original directory security settings were. If there were a document that listed the defaults, that might be helpful, but I've not found one yet. Any input from the pros out there? Regards, TL

Additional domain smtp primary address -problems with owa & active
We are going to be adding a second smtp domain to our exchange enviroment, are users will be split one half having abc.com as their primary (reply to address) and the other half having xyz.com as their primary (reply to address). Given that our exchange enviroment is originally installed under abc.com, will there be any issues with the users' whose primary smtp address is xyz.com accessing owa and using active sync? I have read someone that exchange has problems matching primary smtp addresses that don't match the exchange virtual directory default when using owa or active sync?...
Problems with OWA after Installing SP1

OWA URL and OWA authentication
Hi, I'm trying to change my owa url. Actually is https://mydomain.com/exchang but I dont want users have to type the /exchange.

General Question on Structure

OWA requires second authentication if mailbox is not on OWA server
I have 2 exchange 2000/W2K boxes, and 1 exchange 2003/W2K3 box in my enterprise. I have just added a second exchange 2003 SP2/W2K3 box which will replace one of my exchange 2000 boxes.

OWA
Is OWA a separate program that needs to be purchased from Microsoft, or does it come with exchange. In other words, what do I need to have in order to utilize and set up Outlook Web Access? OWA is a function of Exchange. Whether or not it's set up with Exchange is at the discretion of the company and Exchange Admin. If it is set up, how it's accessed is a question for your Exchange Admin. You likely have to be added to a list of allowable users, it may require a SecuRemote keyfob, or other security methods. . -- Kathleen Orland "TerryTutor" <TerryT...
