Problems setting up OWA with Exchg 5.5 (SP4) on Wk2k Server

[kmccrary]

I am getting totally frustrated trying to make OWA work. I have an Exchange folder under IIS Manager. It has a folder under it called USA. If you view Exchange properties, on the Visual Directory tab the path is d:\servername\Webdata. If you view USA properties, on the Visual Directory tab the path is /Exchange/USA.

Both Exchange and USA have default.htm; default.asp; and iisstart.asp listed in the documents tab in properties.

In c:\inetpub directory\

http://wwwroot\default.htm

file it has a URL that points to <META HTTP-EQUIV=&quot;Refresh&quot; CONTENT=&quot;0; URL=//servername/exchange&quot;>

I have made sure the appropriate permissions are set up.

When I try to access OWA using \\servername\exchange it gives me the following error: HTTP 404 - File not found

I would appreciate any help I can get.

Thanks.

Thanks for your help. I finally got permission to call MS and after 3 hours on the phone and $245 I am working. It ended up being several things. I think the main thing was the IIS lockdown tool that I had installed a few months back. There were some permission problems that had to be resolved too, but all-in-all it was totally worth the bucks$$$ just to be done with it.

Thanks again.

Yes, I don't know how many times I have had to call Microsoft to bail me out. They know the system better than anybody and sometimes the problem can not be resolved without calling them. We spend about $2000.00 for 10 calls per year and it is so worth it.

That's great your problem is solved.
