ASKER CERTIFIED SOLUTION

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
As per my article - please set the website timeout to 480.
Not sure why you have 2 Exchange-oma directories - never seen that before. Might be worth following KB883380 (deleting both exchange-oma directories too) and then re-creating them.
Then follow KB817379 and re-add the exchange-oma virtual directory and see where that leaves you.

Thanks for your help with this Alan we had to recreate all the Virtual directories.
I have the same problem and was wondering if we delete EVERYTHING under the Default Web Site, or just certain directories. Thanks
