Re: OWA Reinstall



In the router, is port 443 forwarded to external NIC IP address?

If you connect a spare workstation (or laptop) to a free port on the router
and put the workstation in a workgroup, can you then successfully OWA into
the SBS server from that workstation? If yes, the problem is with the
router configuration (or firmware) and not SBS.

running the CEICW several times trying to get this problem resolved

Hi Joe,

If OWA works internally, then reinstallation is a pretty big hammer and
may not solve anything.

Have you run the Connect to the Internet Wizard, and selected OWA to be
published to the internet? I'd start with a re-run of the wizard first,
as it can fix quite a few misconfigurations.

If that doesn't help:

a) did OWA ever work? If so, what change was made prior to the problem?
b) how is the server connected to the internet (number of NICs, IP
config, ISA?, exernal firewall/router) - can you post the output from
'ipconfig /all' run from a command prompt at the server, and from a
workstation?
c) what is the URL you use to access the site from the internet?

My outlook web access is not working I keep getting HTTP 404 errors and
I have tried everything else. So will reinstalling Exchange properly
setup my web site for OWA? Unless there is any easier way to create the
site. One note of importance is that the site works internally but
doesn't work externally.

Thanks
