OWA 1

[parker309]

I am running Exchange 2K. I have users accessing mail from outside via OWA and well as through Outlook Express in IMAP mode. I have one user that can send/received from OE but cannot even log in through OWA. When the user goes to the OWA site, it seems that the password is rejected. All other OWA user work fine. This users mail works except for through OWA. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Mickeytech,
DomainAdmins domain group does in fact get added to each workstation and non-DC server by default when added to an AD domain.

Is there only one domain involved? I had thought that OWA just applies the login name to it's default AD domain, such that anyone using a different domain would need to specify that one. I've never tried it on a non-administrator account, though.

interrupting
but i faced same problem and solved it
sending you same documentation
hope it will work

Use Only Basic Authentication
Set the authentication method for the resource users are having trouble accessing to Basic authentication. This step is particularly important if you believe an access problem is due to improperly configured permissions.
The following procedures describe how to configure authentication settings on the default HTTP virtual server and on any HTTP virtual servers you or your organization created. You must administer the default HTTP virtual server through Internet Services Manager. Use System Manager to administer any HTTP virtual servers that you create.
Security Warning Use these procedures for troubleshooting purposes only. For security reasons, never select Basic authentication as your only authentication method unless you also use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption.
To set Basic authentication in Internet Services Manager (default HTTP virtual server)
1.Click Start, point to Programs, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Internet Services Manager.
2.If necessary, click to expand the local computer object, and then click to expand Web Sites.
3.Right-click Default Web Site, and then click Properties.
4.On the Directory Security tab, under Anonymous access and authentication control, click Edit.
5.In Authentication Methods, under Authenticated access, click to select Basic authentication. In Default domain, type your organization’s domain name.
6.If necessary, click to clear all other authentication methods.
To verify the default domain setting in System Manager (all other HTTP virtual servers)
1.Click Start, point to Programs, point to Microsoft Exchange, and then click System Manager.
2.Click to expand Administrative Groups, the administrative group in question, Servers, the Exchange server in question, Protocols, and then HTTP.
3.Right-click the HTTP virtual server in question, and then click Properties.
4.On the Access tab, click Authentication.
5.In Authentication Methods, click to select Basic authentication. In Default domain, type your organization’s domain name.
6.If necessary, click to clear Anonymous access and Integrated Windows Authentication.
You may need to wait at least 15 minutes for your authentication settings to replicate to the Exchange metabase. For more information, see “Ensure Replication of IIS Settings” later in this paper.

make sure these permissions are set
Check File System Permissions
Any account that you use to troubleshoot an Outlook Web Access error must have Read and Execute permissions for the following directories on the computer running Exchange:
· WinNT\system32\
· WinNT\System32\inetsrv\
· Program Files\Exchsrvr\bin· Program Files\Exchsrvr\RES· WinNT\System32\wbem· Program Files\Exchsrvr\Exchweb
try those out

Thanks for the input. I already set to Basic Authentication on the Exchange Virtual Directory in IIS, NOT defaul web site due to the fact that Anonymous users do need to access the web site. I will verify the NTFS permissions. I will let you know the result.

Thanks again for all input.
