RE: IIS Problems

Hi Jim,

Thanks for your all your advice, glad to say the OWA problem was resolved
when I changed my settings to match those of your test server. I also have
my sharepoint site accessible via the web which was my original goal.

As with everything I know far more about IIS, RWW and OWA as a result of the
problem. If anyone else is reading this post - Reply to this post if you
have a similar problem and I will try my best to help.

THANKS
SCOTT ;o)

Hi Scott.

The best way to verify the correct settings on the default website is to
compare it to a box that was cleanly installed and preferably one on which
the CEICW was run. I would be happy to verify some of the settings for
you. I think you are correct in that some authentication settings must be
wrong for OWA to behave that way.

Here are settings on my test machine on the Directory Security tab of the
properties of the Exchange virtual directory:

- first edit button:
- only 'Basic..." checked and default domain is just a backslash
(\)
- second edit button
- granted access selected
- view certificate button
- since you do not have ISA the certificate name should be the
self-signed one with the public name that was originally created by the
CEICW (which I think you said you exported then imported)
- third edit button
- require ssl and require 128-bit checked
- ignore client certificates selected

Here are settings on my test machine on the Directory Security tab of the
properties of the ExchWeb virtual directory:

- first edit button:
- only 'Enable anonymous..." checked
- second edit button
- granted access selected
- view certificate button
- since you do not have ISA the certificate name should be the
self-signed one with the public name that was originally created by the
CEICW (which I think you said you exported then imported)
- third edit button
- require ssl and require 128-bit checked
- ignore client certificates selected

You mentioned earlier that you wanted to delete extraneous certificates.
You can do that by opening the Certificates MMC...
- start, run, mmc
- File, add/remove snap-in
- add button
- select Certificates and click Add
- select "computer Account" and click next
- "local computer" and click finish
- close button
- OK button
- in the left-hand pane navigate down to:
Certificates
Personal
Certificates (click on this)
- you will see the certificates in the personal store on this computer
- you can right-click and delete extraneous ones from here, but be careful
which ones you delete (you can export them first)

I would not choose to remove frontpage server extensions
If you have an ASP.Net tab on your websites you might want to make sure
they are running version 1.1 and not 2.0.

I hope this helps.

Jim
