I'm having an "issue" with my OWA authentications (kind of like a
"feature" in a product). I have two Exchange 5.5 SP4 servers, one running
on WNT 4.0 SP6a, one running on W2K SP3. Both have all the Exchange post
SP-4 critical updates and hotfixes installed. Both are running OWA right
now, because for some reason, they abruptly stopped authenticating users
on each other - in other words, each will only authenticate users whose
mailboxes reside locally. They won't authenticate each other's users
("failed to get inbox"). I've fiddled with the directory permissions in
IIS, and right now, have all three authentication methods selected on both
servers, but it doesn't seem to affect this if I turn off NT
authentication. It's a colossal pain, since I have a firewall port open
specifically for OWA, and now that they're being buttheads, I have to have
two ports open, and I have to make sure users know which URL to use.
I realize that Exchange 2000 would probably help alleviate this, but we
are not ready for Active Directory, and probably will not be for some time
yet. Nor am I ready to single-handedly transition 2500 users right this
minute. So I'm looking for advice, but hopefully not along the lines of,
"why don't you just upgrade?" ;-)
Thanks for any help with this.
Geni
