OWA Not Loading Inbox

[Reepicheep]

Set up Exchange 2000 (SP2) on W2K w/SP2 (domain controller, only server) and when I access OWA locally or through the firewall I get a "Loading ..." notice on the inbox, and it never loads (let run overnight). Checked Technet with "OWA Loading" and none of the articles seems to help - I verified (and loosened) security settings, etc. per the articles to no avail. Tested from XP (IE 6) and W2K (IE 5.5 SP2).

I am also running Sharepoint Team services (installed before Exchange). Possible conflict there?

Notes: Had a 115 error (could not bind SSL) in event log. Installed Certificate services and added a certificate to the site and then removed SSL from the IIS server default web site to stop error. Adding port 443 SSL restarts event log error. Don't think it is related but you never know.

We don't like SharePoint Portal Server on the same box I think you can have Team Services. Portal Server uses the Exchange store so patches aren't tested between them thus it could break them if they are on the same box. Anyways...

Does it work without SSL?

Are you scanning the M drive or the Exchange Server folder with file level AV? Dan

I hadn't tried disabling the anti-virus - just did and unfortunately it didn't help.

Removing SSL didn't help - but I figured that problem was that SSL and host headers (which Team Portal uses) conflict.

I will try to make another virtual web server and move the Exchange folders to it and see what happens. If that doesn't work I will probably uninstall and reinstall OWA.

Unfortunately my main customer blocks almost everything and my web mail provider uses an odd port I can't change so I thought I might host my own e-mail since my employer's OWA works fine through the customer's firewall.

Noticed there were new critical updates on Windowsupdate, applied them, rebooted, and everything is working fine. Go figure. Even though none of them were related to my problems.

Thanks for the help.

Cool.

Just FYI. There is no way to remove just OWA and put it back in Exchange 2000. Dan
