Exchange 2007 OWA Syntax Error Problem
We are experiencing a major problem regarding OWA after installing Update release 5 for Microsoft exchange. OWA doesn't display at all and clients get the following error
Line: 7
Char: 1
Error: Syntax Error
Code: 0
URL: http://........../owa/auth/logon.aspx
url= https://........../owa&reason=0
I have read many many topics on the same issue regarding Update release 1 but not 5. I have also read many things regarding .Net 2 and reinstalling it
Our installation involves a working WSS 3 SharePoint Service 3 and Microsoft Exchange 2007 at the same Server. Before installing UR5 all seemed to work fine. I don't want to reinstall .NET cause it is a working environment and i don't want to end up reinstalling everything especially WSS3.
I heave read an other post that says that is probably a damaged asp file or a js script. I found 2 directories inside the OWA directory, that contained the old js scripts before the update. Copied them to the new one but the error didn't change
Please help me with this issue
Regards
DS

After updating to UR5 we have seen a new directory inside OWA Folder calles 8.07.52 or something like that . This directory didn’t have Anonymous Access enabled. After enabling anonymous access the problem was solved
