Title: Win2K SRP1 + Ex5.5 OWA = "OWA was unable to get to your mailbox"

One of those patches in the security rollup causes that behavior.  I can't remember which right now and I am not where I can look it up right now.  As I remember you can install the patch but then there is a registry edit you have to do to allow OWA to work again.  I will look for it tomorrow...

Hey folks, has anyone come across this before?  I've got a Windows 2000 server (SP2) running IIS 5 along with OWA from Exchange 5.5 SP4.  It's chugging along just fine, but if I try to install the post-Win2kSP2 Security Rollup Patch and login to the web app, I get the error "OWA was unable to get to your inbox" immediately after entering my domain credentials.  I know that what I've entered in as my mailbox name is unique and no different than what I entered prior to applying the patch, so it's not an issue of Exchange not finding my mailbox.

This isn't that big of a deal yet, as according to hfnetchk I'm all patched up.  But I found it odd that the SRP caused this behavior.  Removing the SRP allows the server to work fine.  I even reloaded the server from scratch just to test this, and sure enough the same thing happened.

So, has anyone seen this?  I can't find any reports of it anywhere. =/
