Hi,
We used to have acces to our Exchange 5.0 on an IIS 3.0 through the
internet.

Now that we have reinstalled everything on our system, but directly
Exchange 5.5 and IIS 4.0 we can't get the outlook through internet option
at work.

Is there anybody who has got this working??
Can somebody help me on this??

You're not the only one having that problem. We used to use the Web for
most
of our e-mail activity.... It just doesn't work.

I too have upgraded to 5.5 thinking it would improve my web client. All I
get is failed to get inbox. I spent the $200 on tech support, and got no
where. I've even done a complete reinstall of NT

You may want to verify your configuration according to:

http://support.microsoft.com/support/exchange/content/whitepapers/owa_tshoot.asp

I've also seen this error when user's do not have permissions to
certain directories, such as:
\WINNT
\WINNT\SYSTEM32
\WINNT\SYSTEM32\INETSRV
\EXCHSRVR\BIN
\EXCHSRVR\WEBDATA

and the
\webtemp directoiry needs change permission also.

Failure to do so will give that error.

I have it working with NT4 SP3 and Option Pack with Exchange Server 5.5. Did
you apply the patch in
ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/bussys/winnt/winnt-public/fixes/usa/nt40/hotfixes-po
stsp3/roll-up

called roll-upi.exe?

Hope this helps,
Bill

I know that one important thing is to install IIS 3.0, install Exchange 5.5
and then OWA. Then upgrade to IIS 4.0. Exchange will not install OWA on
4.0, only on 3.0. But it will accept the upgrade.

You must give 'Everyone' the 'Log on Locally' right on the IIS server.

Also, if using Netscape Navigator, you must allow Basic Clear Text
authentication.

What kind of permissions I need to set? Because I am having problem
accessing the mail box. In the browser when I type <exchangeserver
name>/exchange it brings up the login screen(login.asp). Once I type the
mail box name and hit enter, it come up with another login screen(since I
have set to NT/Challenge response and Clear text). I type in the login
credentials, it comes back saying that 'The exchange server is down or HTTP
is disabled by administrator...'. I have enabled the HTTP protocol at the
site level and at the recepients level.

Somemore background information. We have two Exchange server (5.0&5.5),
both of them belong to the same site. I installed the ASP, IIS3.0 and SP3.0
on NT4.0. Permission has been set to allow log on locally on the exchange
server(5.5) with ASP.

I am baffled?!!. I would appreciate any pointers.

I saw this happen with my server and all I did was stopped and started
all my services and it came back.

Why don't we start with what the permissions are now and
work from there?

There is a KB article titled "Troubleshooting Guide for Microsoft Outlook
Web Access" that clearly states that using NT Challenge/Response will not
work. I used to have that same exact error and after reading this article I
changed it to basic and clear text and it works perfect now.

It's my understanding that challenge/response can only be used if IIS
and Exchange are running on the same machine; otherwise, you must use
plain text (or get a certificate and use https).

I have ran into the same problem... Are you restoring old exchange data? If
so, read on...

Here is a message I sent after finding the problem. You must be vary
familiar with the Registry. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!

registry key that had <EnterpriseName> instead of <ShortEnterpriseName>.
