OWA Problem
Hi, Last Friday one of our techs main some lockdown changes to our IIS5 server which happens to have Ex2000 on it, since he made the changes OWA doesn't display anything in the Inbox, or folders etc etc, it logs in correctly and gets to the OWA page but that's about it. Server is Win2000 SP2 Ex2000 SP1 Changes made were: delete IIS samples directory Stopped Default FTP site Stopped Administration site This is all that I was told however I think there could be some more done, but Im not sure, could be problems with the metabase ??? Any ideas ?? Dave List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm
RE: OWA Problem
Yeah I did tell him thankyou :) So are we going to be talking a re-install here to get OWA back up and running ?? -Original Message- From: John Allhiser [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, September 25, 2001 11:26 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: OWA Problem One of the basic things it does is take away the ability to run scripts. SP2 and the IIS cumulative should be all that is needed on an EX2000 server. Be sure to tell the tech thank you.

It seems they looked a bit more in detail what the lockdown tool did, and found that because of the fact E2K relies on IIS 5, the tool is disrupting normal E2K behavior. I'm still waiting for a confirmation by MS. At least you're warned for the possibility of a potential problem here. Other apps relying on IIS might be affected as well. -Original Message- From: David Rodriguez [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, September 24, 2001 5:25 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: OWA Problem Hi, Last Friday one of our techs main some lockdown changes to our IIS5 server which happens to have Ex2000 on it, since he made the changes OWA doesn't display anything in the Inbox, or folders etc etc, it logs in correctly and gets to the OWA page but that's about it.

But, since e2k relies on IIS, I don't think you can just uninstall IIS to reset the metabase back new, and reinstall owa like e55, but I bet the guys at PSS can walk you through fixing to save you the headache! Its worth a call, if they say they cant help, they wont charge you I don't think... jlc -Original Message- From: David Rodriguez [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, September 24, 2001 8:42 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: OWA Problem Yeah I did tell him thankyou :) So are we going to be talking a re-install here to get OWA back up and running ?? -Original Message- From: John Allhiser [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, September 25, 2001 11:26 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: OWA Problem One of the basic things it does is take away the ability to run scripts.

RE: OWA Stops
Or just stop the sMTP on the IIS J -Original Message- From: Adam Simms [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, September 19, 2001 04:32 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: OWA Stops This is actually a well known issue in the Security Community. If you are running OWA on a IIS Server that is on the same machine as the Exchange Server, IIS runs its own SMTP Relay. This is very easy to fix. Simply uninstall the SMTP Service on your IIS Box. It is always good practice to keep Servers that are dedicated to different Services separate from each other. I hope this helps, Adam L.
