Now it's beyond me why Microsoft doesn't have this as a fix for something that so many people seem to have as a problem.... but that's 2000 I guess..
After converting from Exchange 5.5 OWA to 2000 OWA, all the users had book marked the URL of mail.company.com/exchange/logon.asp, since in 5.5 OWA it automatically would pull you from the root URL into a logon page (since it used ASP) but now you only see the same base URL of mail.company.com/exchange. So once the users used the book mark or in some cases the "autocomplete" feature in IE they would be pulled to a dead address. But... since you can't really edit the M:\ drive the /EXCHANGE points to you couldn't build a ASP page to do a response.redirect in ASP. * Go into the front-end server that is hosting your OWA. * Start up IIS admin and locate the /Exchange virtual directory * Right click on the /Exchange directory and using the "wizard" create a new virtual directory called logon.asp. When it prompts where the content is located just put something like c:\inetpub\wwwroot * Once the virtual root has been created, right click it, select properties then select the tab labeled "Virtual Directory" * Select the "A redirection to a URL" and then in the "Redirect to" URL enter /exchange/ What happens is that when they hit the virtual root of /exchange/logon.asp it pulls them back to only /exchange Thanks, david moore Chevron Phillips Messaging _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
