Hi all

I had a strange issue when installing OWA 5.5 on a Win2K server with IIS5. After the install is complete, the C:\exchsrvr\WEBDATA folder does not have the IIS Guest Account on it, therefore any attempt made to actually logon fails, as it calls the asp script in this very folder! Applying the permission manually resolved the problem. However, the first time I rebooted the server after doing this, it came back up with a completely empty wwwroot folder, and nothing in the recycle bin! I have to completely re-install IIS, and then OWA to fix this. Then I also still had to re-apply the Internet Guest Account to the WEBDATA folder, but subsequent reboots didn't cause the same issue

Anyone else experience these issues, or have any idea what could cause them

Thank

Lawrence Bowen

no takers? ..... :) I have confirmed theprimary issue (permissions on WEBDATE) by building a brand new server from scratch. It happened again
