Thanks. I tried it both ways (creating the web from Internet Services Manager and creating it from Exchange Systems Manager). At first I tried it in Internet Services Manager, and it was not working - I had missed the step of adding davex.dll - I had to hit the create button to get to the application setup to add davex, once that was done it worked (I had to do it on several virtual webs that were OWA components)
One other thing - when I tried creating the virtual web from Exchange System Manager as you suggested it worked, however when I change the home directory path to the root path I wanted, twice it changed itself back to M:\twostep.tzo.net\MBX and I know it was not my doing. So I'm wondering if Exchange somehow changes that back if it was created within Exchange. I ended up making it work correctly with the web I created in ISM and once I got all of the settings in line, OWA seems to work great. Thanks for your help.

The way I did it was to create the site in Exchange System Manager, then create a new virtual directory for Exchange and Public. Then, once created and seen in Internet Services Manager, I went in to the properties for the new site, to "Home Directory" and changed the address from the BackofficeStorage address to the local directory I had an existing web site configured in. Finally to get IIS to serve the existing web pages correctly I removed "davex.dll" (IIRC) in the Application Configuration, being careful NOT to apply the changes to the child nodes by pressing "Cancel" when prompted. I don't think I missed anything, but let me know if I have.

I think i sort of have it working by creating the website from within Exchange administrator - but that set up OWA as the root of the web - ideally i'd like OWA to work from a virtual web /exchange as it does on the Default web server. Only docs i could find by searching MS Knowledge base were 5.5 specific - I need this to go on 2000 (Windows + Exchange 2000 - latest service packs and patches all around...) Also whatever I do, hoping it will work when i Upgrade to Exchange 2003 followed by Windows 2003 sometime this spring...
