Hi all,

I have upgraded from SBS 2000 to 2003 R1. It seems to have knocked out the
OWA functionality of exchange. The main Exchange system is working on the
internal network with the Outlook clients but the Outlook Web Access doesnt
work internally or externally.

I have run the "Connect to the internet" wizard again to make sure OWA and
OMA are configured and enabled. All of the users have OMA enabled in their
"Exchange features" tab in the users properites.
I have played with all of the neccessary settings in the Properties, but i
get nothing.

When i browse to the OWA directory from a remote web browser
(https://servername/exchange or https://ipaddress/exchange ) it displays :
Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage.

If i disable the "Forms base Authenitication" option, in HTTP properties, i
can browse to the OWA Exchange directory from the Exchange server web browser
(internal) and it logs into the OWA with the Administrator user account. But
it doesnt display correctly, it looks like no images or files can be located.
here is a print screen of what i get presented with when it logs in.

When i view the Default Website in the IIS manager it displays a status
message next to the "Exchange" and "Public" virtual directories. This message
is "The System cannot find the path specified". See the screen shot attached:

It looks like there is no content in the virtual directories????

I have re installed Exchange but that did not help.
I dont know what to do?
Please can somebody help!!
