SBS 2011 Exchange Restore Trashed OWA (Exchange & RWW Fine)

Hi all,

So we recently had a customer server have an unexpected shutdown due to power failure and UPS failure.  Exchange crapped out so we restored Exchange from a backup from two nights before:

c:/program files/microsoft/exchange server

The previous admins left the Exchange Database in this location (default location).

When the server was restarted, everything performed fine again, with Exchange working, emails being delivered and received ok, etc.  Unfortunately, Outlook Web Access is giving an error though.  After disabling custom errors to get more info, we get this error:

Server Error in '/owa' Application.

Could not load file or assembly '2014-10-24 23-00 Copy of Microsoft.Exchange.Clients.Owa' or one of its dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)

Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Assembly Load Trace: The following information can be helpful to determine why the assembly '2014-10-24 23-00 Copy of Microsoft.Exchange.Clients.Owa' could not be loaded.


WRN: Assembly binding logging is turned OFF.
To enable assembly bind failure logging, set the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog] (DWORD) to 1.
Note: There is some performance penalty associated with assembly bind failure logging.
To turn this feature off, remove the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog].

When I browsed to the c:\program files\microsoft\exchange server\v14\ClientAccess\owa folder mentioned above, I noticed a bunch of 'copy of' files created on the date of the backup (judging from their file name) that seem to be being referenced by OWA somehow - very strange:

Does anyone have any idea of the best way to diagnose this?  We've tried running the 'Connect to the Internet' wizard which reconfigures remote access and IIS but no luck.
