RE: Strange OWA authentication issue

Yes, it worked for the first few weeks, and then for no reason I could
discern, it stopped.  Both servers are in the same site.  The behavior is
consistent on both; neither will authenticate each other's users, but they
authenticate their own with no problems at all.  There is nothing logged
in the event log.

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.

Geni
