Exchange 2003 OWA HTTP 400 Bad Request

Hello,

After upgrading WSUS from 1.0 to 3.0 SP1, we are now getting an HTTP 400 Bad Request when trying to access the Small Business Server 2003 Remote Web Workplace.  We uninstalled the old WSUS, and reinstalled the newer version.  Nothing was done with IIS which both depend on.

Thanks for your help,
Mike

I just read the following guide:

Installing Microsoft Windows Server Update Services 3.0 on Windows Small Business Server 2003, but it only explained how to update WSUS from SBS 2003 SP1 to SBS 2003 R2.  We were wondering if there is a better guide out there.

We currently run SBS 2003 with SP2.  We have never run the Configure Internet and Email wizard before.  Is there a video or online demo that we can view someplace on the web?  We aren't onsite everyday where the server is.  We will have to run that again the next time we are there.

Thanks for your help.

We're not sure if the server is RTM.  Not all that familiar with 2003 SBS SP2 in comparison with regular 2003 Server R2 SP2.  What does RTM mean?  We're not sure if the wizard was run at all on the server either.  Is there any evidence to prove either way?  We will try running the SBS Best Practices tool instead, and see what it finds.

The server does take a very long time to shut down and/or restart.  Does your cleanup procedure help speed up rebooting time?  What do you charge when cleaning up an SBS server for another client if you don't mind us asking?

Thanks Simon

Hi Simon,

Well, the Default Web Site was Stopped, so after starting it, the Remote Web Workplace is running again.  Not sure how or why it stopped.  At least this proves that WSUS didn't change a setting somewhere within the Default Web Site parameters.

We are running the SBS best practices utility today to see what that finds.  Hopefully it will help determine why the server cannot shut down or restart without holding the power button for 5 seconds to make it power off.

Thanks,
Mike

We ended up discovering that the Default Web Site was stopped.  When we started it, all was well again.
