Exchange Server - OWA front-end back-end authentication problem
Asked By federico
18-Mar-08 02:41 PM
Hello, I cannot authenticate to our new Exchange 2003 server via our
front-end web access server. I have no problem logging on to accounts
located in the other two back-end servers thru the front-end server. The
other servers are also Exchange 2003 sp2 on Windows 2003 R2 Enterprise, but
they have a couple fewer security updates installed. Further, I have no
problem authenticating to accounts located in the new server if I access its
web interface directly instead of thru the front-end server.
I have compared the settings for the web interface of the new server with
the settings of the older ones (one of which I set up with no problems) and
I cannot see any differences.
Do you have any ideas were the problem could be? Please, any help will be
greatly appreciated.

I reboot of the front-end server solved the problem.
It rubs me the wrong way whenever you solve a problem in a server with a
reboot. Probably I could of restarted some service also.

Thanks for your reply Bluehades. In my case a reboot of the front-server
solved the problem.
ideas why this is not working? Any input is appreciated.

Our organization is a simple single-forest, single-domain network environment. We currently have one Windows 2000 Server and two Windows Server 2003 Sp2 Std Edition machines. We have just built a new server with Windows Server 2003 R2 x64 edition, and we plan to migrate Exchange to this machine. All four of these machines are domain controllers. I thought I understood Windows domain and forest functional levels, but now I am finding myself confused. The book I said in different places that: Exchange 2007 requires a domain functional level of at least Windows 2000 native. Exchange 2007 requires a forest functional level of at least Windows 2003. Specifically, it says: = 93To install Exchange Server 2007, the Windows Server 2003 Active Directory domain functional level must be Windows 2000 Server Native or higher
