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.

Thank you!

I have spent the last 6 hours working on repairing a Windows Small Business Server's  Outlook Web Access configuration following a change of the office's default gateway IP address. In addition the office MX record for email was updated so email is coming in and now out of the Exchange server.

What happened is this. I changed the office's network gateway IP address. From there I updated the MX records to point to the new IP address. As I was resolving the inbound and outbound email, I checked the office's OWA site. Initially I was able to get to the office Remote website at http://mail.companyweb.org but if clicked on the link to login, it would state that could not find the logon site. I tried to open http://mail.companyweb.org/Exchange it would not open saying the site could not be found either.
I've checked the firewall and the mail server is the port forwarding is configured correctly.
I then checked some settings in IIS. Somehow things got worse, especially after I followed these instructions

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;883380

Once I did this, nothing has worked since. I can't pull up the http://mail.companyweb.org at all only get a "cannot display the webpage" message. I don't have any options to login, and I can't access the site from the Exchange server locally or externally.

Oh and to make it even harder, I'm picking up someone else prior configuration. They never documented anything so there's nothing to reference, and there are no disks either, so I can't reinstall from disk...

Any suggestions, or I think most importantly any detailed OWA/IIS configuration information to ensure that everything on the server is configured correctly would be great. At this point, my only option is to go through and manually reconfigure things, I just need the details of what to do.
