Sorry just re-read, if you are getting 3 IE login boxes it sounds as if you are not being authenticated to the IIS site. NO error about auth failed from IIS?
Having read through the mail, you used domain\user? I seem to remember using domain/user until I defaulted the domain. What exactly have you set under Local Policies=>Log on Locally, hopefully something along the lines of domain/global user group. -----Original Message----- From: Allan Johnson Sent: Thursday, December 13, 2001 11:24 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: OWA 5.5sp4 on IIS5/Win2k SP2 Have you installed the Ex.

Yes, when logging on as the exchange admin or a regular user I get three IE log on boxes (site, realm, username, password) then it takes me to a blank page instead of the root.asp that I am used to seeing on my production server. It seems that the problem I am having is with the authentication of OWA against the exchange server (but i'm not sure). I can get to the website just fine, but not to my mailbox. I'm confused and need some suggestions.

So, reading your reply your user is an admin? Non-secure suggestion try logging in with "Administrator" or your EX service account. Also where does the blank page occur, at IIS login or OWA login? You can remove Basic Auth and just leave Anonymous to rule out permissions at the IIS box also. IIS logging is under properties of the Exchange site, properties button for logging => extended tab. Security Auditing (logon success/failure etc) is enabled/configured through MMC. -----Original Message----- From: Wynkoop, John [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, December 12, 2001 5:41 PM To: Allan Johnson Subject: RE: OWA 5.5sp4 on IIS5/Win2k SP2 Yes, I'm unable to get my mail or that of an average user... I don't know what the logs are saying, I can't find any use for them... They seem to only show me hits and http get requests, not anything else. Is there some way to increase the severity of my logging, to maybe catch the problem?

Below is the reason why I'm asking (snipped from my response to another thread). "... Here we have multiple account domains and the OWA servers are in a resource domain. I had that problem for one of those account domains. As it turns out, the domain controller for the account domain was flaking out. Rebooted the DC and the problem went away. ..." -----Original Message----- From: Wynkoop, John [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, December 12, 2001 3:25 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: OWA 5.5sp4 on IIS5/Win2k SP2 Thanks for you suggestions, see below for my replies... >Let's examine a few things: >1.
