Status: offline 		Hi all,

I followed a great article here on this site how to change the default owa logon screen in exchange2000.(http://www.msexchange.org/tutorials/A_Logon_Screen_For_MS_Exchange_2000_Outlook_Web_Access.html) I did everything what the article explained and it worked. Well it works at localhost. But the article doenst descibe how to get it working with iis so it exactly works when someone extern logs in.
Can anyone tell me how to get the asp working with exchange and iis so users get the new welcome screen i made in the asp file.?

Thx in advance!
Kind Regards
Mr Vandenberg

This is a very old article, and the purpose was to duplicate the Exchange 5.5 OWA mailbox name page for those people who just liked to see it.  It's not meant to replace the IIS logon mechanism with Forms-Based Auth, like Exchange 2003 is able to.

Status: offline 		Well i dont see that login screen when i go 2 the link but only when i open the asp with my browser. So i must deploy that asp at iis so when someone intern of extern types www.thisisatest.com/exchange they get that screen.
And when they type this extern of intern they get the normal login screen from owa2000 but i whant them 2 get the new asp file so when they connect 2 www.thisisatest.com/exchange so they get that asp file i made with that tutorial

Status: offline 		You need to go to something like http://thisisatest.com/test.asp .  Exhange 2000 installs an ISAPI filter that makes IIS treat the whole Exchange Virtual Directory in a very special way.  One of the side-effects is that you can't put anything else underneath it in IIS, otherwise it will try to treat it as a mailbox.

Status: offline 		If you put it in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot , and your Default Web Site has not been deliberately directed elsewhere, then you don't need to do anything else in IIS.  If you open IIS Manager, and locate the Default Web Site in the tree view on the left, and click on it, you should see the test.asp file listed on the right.  If you can see it there, then it is ready to go.

Does it say '403 - Forbidden' ?  This usually just means that you have required SSL in IIS, but are not typing https:// in your URL.
