Exchange 2000 on Windows 2003 OWA Problem

[PiMMeL]

Hi,

I have an odd problem for me anyway. I have installed exchange 2000 and 2003 before on their respectively windows versions 2000 and 2003.
Now I have installed Exchange 2000 on Windows 2003 and it works fine with external & Internal Email and Outlook.
Whenever i go to 127.0.0.1/exchange go however I get an access denied and not OWA what I was hoping for.
I know II6 that comes with Windows 2003 is totally locked down by default but I can't find where I should have to enable users to be able to use OWA.

Has anyone run into this problem or knows an answer.

Thank you already,

Pim

While Exchange 2000 may install fine on Windows 2003 (and other people on the boards here have reported similar success), it is not supported by Microsoft. See

and

It is likely that Exchange 2000 OWA would not work due to the differences between IIS 5 and IIS 6.
