Changed OWA URL, can no longer access OWA - 4.Oct.2010 11:08:39 AM

I've had to update the URL for OWA due the sale of the company and change of external domain name. I've updated the External URL property for the Default WebSite (owa) for the server in question, and updated DNS to reflect this change also.

I've also requested and installed an updated SSL certificate with the new CN and additional SAN's, and this appears to all be ok.

The IP address of the Exchange server has remained unchanged.

However, when I attempt to browse to the OWA address on the Exchange server itself (https://servername.domain.co.uk/owa) it redirects to https://servername.domain.co.uk/owa/auth/logon.aspx?url=https://servername.domain.co.uk/owa/&reason=0 with a syntax error in IE.

If I try accessing this internal URL through Firefox on my desktop on the same domain, using the Live HTTP Headers plug-in, it shows a lot of 'HTTP/1.1 302 Moved Temporarily' for the themes directory and various other items.

I'm not good on IIS, but am wondering (assuming) this is an IIS issue and that I need to change the configuration somewhere.. If I enter the IP address of the Exchange server into a browser on the Exchange server, this tries to redirect to the old OWA URL - implying this is still imbedded in the configuration somewhere.

I've read about recreating virtual directories, recreating the default web site, permissions, but I can't be sure what the issue is from what I've read - or if it is definitely an IIS issue.

Can anyone please shed some light or point me in the right direction of what I need to do to complete this URL change?

Thanks in advance.
