I deleted all the CA vitural directories in EMS usin the remove-owavirtualdirectory.
Then I uninstalled IIS on the server. Rebooted. Installed IIS. Rebooted again.
Opened up EMC, and no OWA virtual directories were found or any errors displayed.
When I try to recreate the OWA virtual directory with the CMDlet:
New-OWAVirtualDirectory
-Name "owa" -WebSiteName "Default Web Site"
-path "D:\Exchange Server\Client Access\Owa"
-Verbose
I get the following error:
VERBOSE: New-OwaVirtualDirectory : Beginning processing.

I think it has something to to with the IIS Metabase. In Exchange 2003, in order to have the virtual directories recreated, you had to Delete the DS2MB in Metabase Explorer.
The configuration DC in the above error message is in the Root Forest Domain. The Exchange servers and mail-enabled users are in the Child forest.
Could the problem be that the CMDLet above cannot contact the Root Forest Domain configuration DC?
This error message sucks and doesn't provide much help!
