We are running Exchange 2003 and a front end Exchange server for OWA. Recently OWA users have not been able to log in. I instructed them to type domain\username and that will allow them to log in. They were never required to do this before. Does anyone know how to fix this or what could have caused this? Thanks, Scott

I'm not sure if it applies to you or not, but see this article: http://www.msexchange.org/tutorials/OWA2003Forms-based-Authentication-default-domain.html -- Ed Crowley MVP "There are seldom good technological solutions to behavioral problems." .

Is your front-end configured with forms-based authentication (FBA)? -- Ed Crowley MVP "There are seldom good technological solutions to behavioral problems." .

For OWA 2007 there is an option on OWA virtual Directory properties in Exchange Management console. Can u see something like that in ESM 2003.

Yes. Our front end is configured with forms based authentication.

Okay, the other response I posted should answer your question. -- Ed Crowley MVP "There are seldom good technological solutions to behavioral problems." .
