yeah petelong is right. OWA is installed by default and you can access is directly within the LAN by http://servername/exchange

For using OWA from internet the links below will help you

Hmm, when I try to navigate to:

http://servername/exchange

I get a pop-up asking for a username and password...
Yep.  Type in the desired mailbox credentials as....

domainname\yourusername
password

Chumplet

that's not working - I get HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized
is there a mailbox associated with that domain account?
yes there is, but I'm still getting the pop-up asking me for the username and password.  I figure I would have at least gotten to the gold OWA page?

Thanks David - that was a quick reply to the EMail, Ive not seen OWA 2K3 fall over or had problems yet (he says tempting fate :)
it's a fantastic thing, but then I've had nothing but good luck with it. Fact is, setting it up the right way isn't too difficult, but if it gets screwed up with perms or authentication issues before you've had a chance to use it, it can be very tough to track down, unless you know where to look. Once it's set up though, it's a great substitute for Outlook IMO, I use it every day, been using it since it was in Beta 2.

I will do once I can get my users migrated out of Ex5.5 - that are on an untrusted domain :( thank the lord for netIQ exchange migrator :)
