It's been awhile, but I seem to recall that with OWA 5.5, the OWA server is always going to try to poll the directory on the first server in the site to establish which server the requested mailbox resides on. When the first server is down, it obviously can't respond and OWA fails.

I stopped the serivces on the old server to make sure that everything had transfered over to the new server correctly before I removed the first server. The only thing that stopped working was OWA. Do you think I should just remove the old exchange server and see if this resolves the issue? If I try to access OWA from the internal network I get the same error message.
