OWA 2003 Loading issue.

Hi Experts,

I have researched all the articles on the web about this issue and all the present solutions did not work for me.

I have 1 server with Windows 2003 Server, Exchange 2003 Server and IIS 6.0.

1) OWA Loading screen.
This was working perfectly internaly and externaly, until I changed the "IP Address and Domain Name Restrictions" settings to only allow our internal IP range for the default web site.

When I realized that I blocked access to OWA from the outside, I reversed my settings. Now its stuck on "Loading..." in the content area of OWA.

I have tried re-installing the default web site, let the Exchange system attendent rebuild the virtual directories under IIS and checked permissions left and right.

It still works perfectly ONLY if you are on our internal LAN.
Externally, you can login and just sits there "Loading..."

2) We consistanly get email from the server that say the email was delayed?!

3) How would I setup Excahnge 2003 to be a FULL mail server for 2 seperate email domains?

Thx much,
Goosey

Was this the guide you followed for resetting the virtual folders?

Also ensure that you haven't set the restrictions further up - on the parent web site and not just the folders themselves.

For your delay messages see this question:
https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/21804373/4-4-7-errors-in-email.html

Exchange 2003 can easily operate for as many domains as you like - you simply need to add the additional domain to Recipient Policy. I usually recommend a separate recipient policy as it gives you control over who gets an email address on the new domain. All users need to have a email address on the default domain, even if it isn't the default email address that goes out on all new email messages.

Thanks for the response.

1) OWA I was able to get going again.

2) Symptoms are about the same as the other thread, this does happen randomly and infreqently
Also, my DNS is already configured in the same manner as suggested in the thread. So no go on this one.

3) Thanks for this info, I have read things about using SMTP connectors for each domain and other things. It seems like it should be a simple process to accomplish.

Our setup is this: 1 internal 2003 server, Mac & PC users in our office, 2 domain names that we use email with.
Our email server is already setup to use 1 domain, we just need an additional domain added.

So after getting the DNS setup, I should only have to add 1 recipient policy per new domain we want to use email from?

What would the additional setup include? Going into the AD users accounts and adding the new email address? Settings up profiles in Outlook Clients?

Thx

Thanks Sembee, you've been a great help.

I will try to figure out the delayed messages thing once I can get more information.

Great Job!
