Hi

I have trouble logging my users on OWA.

The exchange 2000 reside on a domain controller.

administrators can log on other users can't.

Here is what I have checked:
user have logon locally right (through DC Policy)
Http protocol is enabled(advanced exchange features)
If I add user in domain admin OWA works fine.

Here is what happens:
When I try to log on as a user, instead of going to the users folder it prompts me for credentials again. This happens on http://server\exchange and server\exchange\user

Hope someone can point me in the right direction

best regards

Tim

Hi Henrik

Thanks for the reply

I have allready stepped through the article you recommend.

The administrator can logon on fine.

I believe it is a permission issue somewhere.

I have checked:

Read, Read and Execute and List Folder Contents
for the following directories:
Winnt\System32
Winnt\System32\Inetsrv
Winnt\System32\Wbem
Exchsrvr\Bin
Exchsrvr\RES

anonymous access on default domain in IIS and Basic authentifacation on exchange folder in IIS.

The server is a small business server and domain controller. The users I have tried to log on with have Logon locally rights givin' through domain controller policy.

When I try to view peermissions on M:\domain\mbx it says: "unable to display security information" (I am logged on as administrator)

Any ideas

Regards

Tim

I am having the same problem. My Admins can get in but the std users cannot. It is also a SBS2k implementation.

in addition to the symptoms described by Tim2341 , I have noticed that the web logs indicate the user authenticating but the mailbox being accessed is the last admins box not the authenticated user.
example:

administrator logs in and authenticates with owa.
web log contains calls for things like
/exchange/administrator/...

user logs in and authenticates with owa. web log contains calls for things like
/exchange/administrator/...

not the expected
/exchange/user/...

again any ideas would be very appreciated.

I am having the same issue on 2 back end servers. I think the issue is IIS in general. I created a test page, and the same thing occurs. I set the NTFS permissions on the test files and folders to Everyone> Full Control.

Here is the strange part. Once an admin opens the web page (either the test or OWA) regular users can get in as well for a few minutes.

Here is what fixed this problem for me. It was the MIME map setting. Removing the .* entry solved the problem.

Thanks for the posting Lamar, I think I solved my problem. I just going to implement what you have done on MIME settings.

Also make sure the users got an SMTP address in the default domain.
