I think we discovered the problem... things were just locked down a *tad* too much.

Non-Exchange privileged users can't access OWA.  I thought it was related to the fact that they had removed the M: drive, but that was only a small number of servers, the rest (that also aren't working) are having accessability issues to OWA (though they can still access their mailbox through Outlook).

On W2000 running OWA on a DC this was an issue … only case I know of. What are the issues you're having?

We're having some issues with Exchange OWA and MS said something about IWAM when we called them.  We're not granting them 'logon via terminal services', just testing 'log on locally', but if it works, that just creates an entire mess that we'd like to avoid.

No it wouldn't. Why are you giving an IWAM account access to a remote machine?

Would something like IWAM_%servername% or something like that work?  I really don't want to go throuh and specify 45 account names in the "Log on locally" right for an OU if I can do it with a more simple command.  I'll try just about anything :)

Thanks,
Matt

And if you think about it they couldn't – if you have two DCs running IIS they both have IUSR and IWAM accounts in AD, so SIDs have to be different.

Matt-

I don't think these accounts have well-known SIDs, so I'm not sure that's going to help. You can easily verify using psgetsid from Sysinternals. I checked a couple accounts here (though they were domain accounts) and they were not well-known SIDs.

I am trying to specify the builtin IWAM/IUSR accounts in GPO settings.  We have a set of servers within an OU where they require the account to have rights on the local servers, call them Server1, Server2, Server3.  We obviously don't want to create the setting for IWAM_Server1, IWAM_Server2, etc.... I believe that this account has a common SID, if I simply do a browse for the account on one machine, will it resolve to SID and apply the setting for all accounts, or is there another way to do this (like specifying "Builtin\Administrator" would work for the builtin Administrator account) no matter what the name happens to be on a local machine?
