Hi Christian Did u manage to get a solution on this , cause I'm having the same problem? thanks Lettah -----Original Message----- From: Christian.Schramm@xxxxxxx [mailto:Christian.Schramm@xxxxxxx] Sent: 17 February 2004 10:38 To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] OWA 2000 Error: Access is denied[Scanned] http://www.MSExchange.org/ After three times log-on, "Error: Access is denied" shows up in the browser. I have searched knowledge base for this error and found many articles. Nothing solves this problem. I also studied the white paper "Troubleshooting Outlook Web Access in Exchange 2000 Server". I try to access OWA from the exchange server itself. I am using domain\username and UPN credentials. Tried to access with full-path. Tried only basic authentication. Tried different users and client machines. Gave test users the default smtp domain of the default reciepeint policy... I have another exchange 2000 server in the forest on which OWA logon works perfectly. Tried to adopt exactly the same configuration in ESM and IIS. Does not work. Guessing it has something to do with the SMTP-domain in the Exchange-path, since this is the only difference between the servers. The problematic server has another recipient policy. Created another virtual directory in ESM. When selecting the domain I get stucked: there are several entries which looks exactly the same (we have several sites with the same smtp domain in the receipient policy): is it important to select the right entry to get OWA to work? I tried all 5 but maybe I did not wait long enough for replication? In the IIS logs I see nothing more than error no 401 unauthorized. Eventlogs don't show any interesting issues regarding OWA. Any other troubleshooting hints?
