Exchange Public Folder thru OWA - Unspecified Error

I have recently upgraded from exchange 2000 to exchange 2003, everything was completed and everything is working fine, both on the network and thru OWA except the Public folders thru the OWA. When the Public folders nav is selected a new window attepts to open to https://mail.company.com/public/ then I get a message on the page "Unspecified Error"
When I attemt to access OWA from inside the network, and select the Public Folders, I get the Website can not display the page HTTP 500.
We can access the Public Folders via the Network Client.

Is there a configuration or something that I am missing for the public folders?

Thanks in Advance you your help.

You are having problems within IIS. Since you are using Certificates, make sure that your public subdirectory in IIS, in the Directory security tab---->authentication, you have the basic checked with the domain name entered.

Let me know.

The Internal Domain Name and External Domain Name are differernt. Internal is Old Company Name and External is new Company Name. The Certificate is registered to the New Company NAme and is a certificate issued by Equifax.
The Paths are as follows:
Exchange: \\.\BackOfficeStorage\NewCompanyName.com\MBX
Public: \\.\BackOfficeStorage\NewCompanyName.com\Public Folder

OK, when you check the properties of your public subfolder in IIS, what do you see in the application name and the application pool fields?
