Here's the deal: Windows 2000 sp2 Exchange 2k sp1 2 back-end exchange servers 1 front-end exchange server
Installed the OWA server in the same domain and subnet as all of the other servers. Installed exchange and prior to making it a front end server, I could http to it and log in using Username, password, and domain... it would then forward me onto one of the internal servers and I would log in again there. I made it a front end server and chose basic authentication. After http'ing to it again, I was now prompted with just username and password... no domain. I set the default domain to domain.local. I would enter my username and password, hit enter, and be prompted 2 more times before getting an Error: Access Denied. Event logs showed: Event Type: Warning Event Source: W3SVC Event Category: None Event ID: 100 Date: 11/28/2001 Time: 9:56:05 AM User: N/A Computer: OWA Description: The server was unable to logon the Windows NT account 'noone' due to the following error: Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password. The data is the error code. For additional information specific to this message please visit the Microsoft Online Support site located at: http://www.microsoft.com/contentredirect.asp. Data: 0000: 2e 05 00 00 .... Any ideas?! The account and password are valid... the server is on the domain and there is nothing between it and the DC's... I'm a bit lost because this is usually an easy install.
