Hi,  This is a bit off topic but one of my colleagues is trying to establish if anyone has any experience of the following issue when using OMA.   This is his posting from other newsgroups.  As yet  he has had no response.  I know this list is quite good even off topic so I offered to post here too.

 

Cheers in advance.

 

 

I have a single Exchange 2003 SP2 Server that is also a GC running Windows

Server 2003 SP1.

 

The Server is setup for forms based authentication and requires SSL for OWA.

 

Access to OMA is not working with the following event being logged on the

exchange server every time the OMA app fails.

 

Event Type: Error

Event Source: MSExchangeOMA

Event Category: (1000)

Event ID: 1503

Date:  02/06/2006

Time:  14:24:51

User:  N/A

Computer: FLINTJACK

Description:

Also get the following in IE 6.0 SP2

I have been through KBs 817379, 842119, 898131 all with no resolution.

The server is patched up with no critical downloads available from Microsoft

and has the following hotfixes:

907747, 911829, 916640, 916803

 

The server is also running Trend Micro Scanmail version 7.0 with the latest

pattern files and updates applied. I cannot find anything in Trend Micro

KB's on this issue and there are no warnings of any virus detections in

either this or the file virus scanner which is Symantect Anti Virus version

10.1.0.394 and it is excluding the exchange directories.

 

Interestingly if I test this locally using localhost/oma it works perfectly

well until I try this remotely from another server, then after the failure

from the other server I get the issue locally as well and OMA stops working.

 

So it appears that something remotely is causing the OMA application in the

ExchangeMobileBrowseApplicationPool to die. Recycling the app pool allows me

to restart the application and this works again locally. The identity for

this application pool is correctly set to Network Service.

 

I have have no host headers and although ASP 2.0 is installed the Web Sites

are all set to use ASP 1.1.

 

OWA works perfectly, I cannot test ActiveSync as I have no device and I have

not setup an emulator.

 

It seems to me OMA is not as robust as hoped as there are still lots of

issues arounf event ID 1503.

 

Any help appreciated.
