Whats your operating system, is it windows 2003 or windows 2008? Windows 2003 is having II6 & windows 2008 is having IIS7.
To rebuld the owa virtual directory you have to use tool called DS2MB.

I think above link will help you surely.
Awinish...DS2MB is inappropriate in this case as it is Ex 2007,
and about reseting Iuser and iwam user password ,i dont think thats the issue since the error clearly states that the virtual directories already exist....thats got nothing to do with these account's passwords.
Reinstalling IIS and CAS will certainly take care of this however nobody would want to do this just to get those virtual directories back. there are other ways.
those links are for ex 2003.
cap7 what you can try is deleting them form metabase explorer if they ae not there in IIS.
Satya ..He didn't specified is it windows 2003 or 2008..So i have given him article for both 2003 as well as for 2008.
Well all the links are just for help & regarding MS kb you can find IIS reset & owa directory rebuild...So a person who si going to perform will definitely know which articles & which point has to be considered just to recreate owa virtual directory.

The problem accessing https://localhost/owa all started when Iwe wanted to create a csr for cert request. Then the directory security had a pending request and OWA quit working, now after re-creating owa directories and verifiyine permissions, owa still does not work.
Awinish,
Whe I wanted to follow the article for Exchange 2007 to reset IUSR_ComputerName IUSR_ComputerName and IWAM Computer Name password on the new Exchange 2007 server I notice computer name is from the old Exchange 2003 server computername. ( In AD it is the old exchange 3003 server name but in IIS it is the new exchange 2007 computer name, when I browse for user the new exchange 2007 iusr computername is not found. Is that OK.?

you can create exchnage and public virtual direcory using
New-OwaVirtualDirectory "public" -OwaVersion Exchange2003or2000 -VirtualDirectoryType PublicFolders -WebSiteName "Default Web Site"
New-OwaVirtualDirectory "exchange" -OwaVersion Exchange2003or2000 -VirtualDirectoryType PublicFolders -WebSiteName "Default Web Site"
if yo get error saying the already exist ,they must be still there in metabase.xml
you can remove them manually using IIS resource kit 6 and open metabase (resource kit 6 can be used for iis 7 as well
