This is strange as some users can't access OWA, but others can.  The NT Authority\Self  and domain\exchange domain servers have full access to the mailbox.
 
Any ideas please?

Hi Steve,

Have you tried checking the user properties for the individuals running into this problem?

1.  In ADUC, right-click their user object and choose properties

2.  Click on the security tab, then advanced

3.  Ensure, "Allow inheritable permissions from the parent to propagate to this object..." is checked, if not, check it.

4.  Wait for AD to replicate, then try logging into OWA as that user.

This fixed the problem for me, although your mileage may vary.

Cheers

I'm assuming that you're using exchange 2007 here.

Open Exchange management shell on the Mailbox server.

get-mailbox <alias> |fl *type*,*ver*

Replace <alias> with the users alias.

Your results will include the following fields:

Recipienttype: Usermailbox

and I suspect you'll see these one as well:
Recipienttypedetails: LegacyMailbox
ExchangeVersion: 0.0 (6.5.6500.0)

What that means is that exchange 2007 sees that as an exchange 2003 recipient object. OWA only likes current objects.

If that's the case, on the same mailbox server type:

set-mailbox <alias> -applymandatoryproperties

That'll tell exchange to apply the proper attribs to the object.

Then you should be able to access OWA.

Jamie

Just a note to say how helpful this was.

Loculi - you're exactly right.  The key, I think, in the error message is the line where is says the "user has insufficient access rights."  I had the exact same error message, and what you suggested fixed my problem.

Sterlingblue - I think you're referencing http://support.microsoft.com/kb/931747, which seems like a slightly different issue.  Of course, we'll never know for sure as he didn't say if his problem was fixed.

It works!

Dear stevied

Do you run "Exchange Domain Prepare" on that domain?
To check this go to active Directory Users and Computers and from "View" menu select "Advanced Features". Right click on domain name and select "Properties".
In "Security" tab check if these two groups are exist:
  • "Exchange Recipient Administrators" (Read Permission)
  • "Exchange Servers" (without Permission)
If these groups were not existed, you should do "Domain Preparation" on this domain. Although it is useful to do this anyway.

To doing so do the following:
On Exchange Server run this command from command prompt:
setup /PrepareDomain:<DomainFQDN>
Example: setup /PrepareDomain:child1.domain.com

Please note that setup is located on Exchange 2007 DVD and you should be member of "Enterprise Admins" group.

Additionally you could prepare all of your domains by running this command:
setup /PrepareAllDomains

Good luck!

I have a similar issue, i am receiving a similar message trying to log into owa, although it seems to be effecting all users (everything was working a couple hours ago). It also seems to effect phones from getting email.

the error message shows "Exception type: Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Storage.StorageTransientException
Exception message: There was a problem accessing Active Directory."

as apposed to "StoragePermanentException"

as far as checking the suers properties to make sure propagation check mark is selected it is on all users.

I can't seem to fins any info on the error, does anyone have any ideas.
