Strange OWA authentication issue
I'm having an issue with my OWA authentications (kind of like a feature in a product). I have two Exchange 5.5 SP4 servers, one running on WNT 4.0 SP6a, one running on W2K SP3. Both have all the Exchange post SP-4 critical updates and hotfixes installed. Both are running OWA right now, because for some reason, they abruptly stopped authenticating users on each other - in other words, each will only authenticate users whose mailboxes reside locally. They won't authenticate each other's users (failed to get inbox). I've fiddled with the directory permissions in IIS, and right now, have all three authentication methods selected on both servers, but it doesn't seem to affect this if I turn off NT authentication. It's a colossal pain, since I have a firewall port open specifically for OWA, and now that they're being buttheads, I have to have two ports open, and I have to make sure users know which URL to use. I realize that Exchange 2000 would probably help alleviate this, but we are not ready for Active Directory, and probably will not be for some time yet. Nor am I ready to single-handedly transition 2500 users right this minute. So I'm looking for advice, but hopefully not along the lines of, why don't you just upgrade? ;-) Thanks for any help with this.

RE: IPM.Post VS. IPM.Note
If you've never had a lot of PFs in 5.5 and now you've gone to E2K, you can't really understand the differences. Well, I believe I do understand the difference pretty good :-)) I've been using PF's for mailing lists since Exchange 5.0 back in 1997 and I am using them (including this one hosted on an Exchange 2000 PF) now with more than 50 public folders subscribed to mailing lists, newsletter and other stuff. I am not required to use the hotfix because I am a developer and the e-mail items from external senders do show up as IPM.Note since I deployed Exchange 2000 back when it was released. But for those who are not able to work around this issue themselves the mentioned hotfix is exactly what they need.

IPM.Note I know about the hotfix and am not crazy about installing hotfixes, so we're waiting at this point. Nothing accesses the M: drive on our E2K servers, it's excluded from vscan. We don't do single folder backups and our backups run after midnight. OL2002 works sometimes here, too. Nothing is constant. I know rules fire on notes, but everything from the internet comes into PF as posts. Some of our rules just stop working at times, though, on notes with nothing in the logs and with logging turned up to max.

I do understand that a rule doesn't fire if it is a post item but it should fire on a note item. I'd be interested to hear if you have any additional info what's going on. Especially if the store is hit by other applications like a MAPI based backup (single folder backup thingy maybe?) or an antivirus scanner (either MAPI or ESE/VSAPI based)? Also, you do know that you should stay away from the M: Drive, don't you? The symptoms (like the permissions issue - I just tested with Outlook 2002 SP2 and it works here) you describe point me into the direction that you are running some piece of software which accesses the M: Drive (like a file based backup or AV scanner) and causes some of your grief.

IPM.Note I completely agree with you. We have tons of PF's designed to receive mail as well. I have heard of the permissions problem you describe as well - my wife's company is facing that now too I think on some of their 30,000+ public folders. Rather than rules, perhaps some Event Sinks designed to work on your most common applications would be worth developing for the public folders. Not as easy as rules, but once done, you could give the users a fairly easy interface to configure the folder the way it needs to behave. Have you filed issues with PSS on these problems? I hope so. If they never get the issues filed, they don't have the visibility to the degree of the problem. If you have a TAM, raise it there too. Continue the campaign to get the functionality back that we had in 5.5 - Public Folders as a shared mail repository. That simply disappeared in E2K. It has only slightly returned in E2K3. with the ability to reply/forward using OWA through a FrontEnd server.
