The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Cant login to OWA with external domain name, .local domain name comes back "page not found"

Asked by Icetoad in Windows 2003 Server, Exchange Email Server, SBS Small Business Server

Tags: owa, domain, login, name, external

Currently using SBS 2003(sp2) with exchange(sp2), sql(sp4), sharepoint(sp2) and IIS installed. The local domain is DIA.local and the external domain is somedomain.com. When i as administrator or a test user try to login to OWA, i can only use the local domain as the login, so lets say "test" is the account.

When i login as "test@DIA.local", owa goes in, has the frames page built but both frames say "page not found".
When i login as "test@somedomain.com", owa says the username or password is incorrect.
Its the same way if i try to login with DIA.local\test or if i set the exchange virtual directory to default to "\". If i force somedomain.com in the domain box, i cant login unless i use test@dia.local.

After looking at the some MS KB's, it appears the OWA is meant for whatever the exchange site is setup for, which in this case is "somedomain.com" in the exchange virutal directory under exchange. If that domain is not used to login, then the page not found is displayed.

I have tried to:
-Recreate the default website
-Recreate the OWA site using a ms KB, it was rebuilt, but still no change.
-Rerun the CICW
-Verified that the accounts are defaulted to (bolded) "test@somedomain.com" in active directory.

It seems like something in IIS or exchange is not jiving. I setup a virutal server with sbs installed and it works fine with this configuration.. so something was done on this server that is preventing this from working.

How can i fix this so they can login with the external domain?
