Hi Bryce,

Thanks for using the SBS newsgroup.

From your description, I understand the issue to be: the OWA site stopped
work. If I am off base, please don't hesitate to let me know.

Before we go further, please kindly help me collect some information to
isolate the problem.

1. Do you mean that you have re-set the default virtual directories for
Outlook Web Access refer to the KB article 883380? I suggest that you
strictly follow the guide to reset again, and let me know the result.

Outlook Web Access, Exchange ActiveSync, and Outlook Mobile Access services
in Exchange Server 2003

2. Do you have a IIS metabase backup file before the issue happened? If
yes,please try to restore the IIS metabase to see if it helps.

3. Please let me know if you can access the OWA site from internet using
URL:http://localhost/exchange or http://servername/exchange.

4. What you have done on the server box before the issue happened? Such as
install some application.

5. Can you access other build-in web sites such as RWW site, companyweb
site properly?

6. Please help me capture a screen shot of the IIS default web site for
analyze:

Open IIS management console, expand the default web site node, then capture
a screen shot for me. You can paste the screen shot in the newsgroup or
mail it to v-yanniw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

I appreciate your time! I am happy to be assistance to you and look forward
to your reply!

Does anybody know how to re-create the Default Web Site, I've found
articles

Description: The virtual site '1' has been invalidated and will be ignored
because valid site bindings could not be constructed, or no site bindings
exist.
