OWA Hangs Loading

[toniak]

Hi everyone!

I have just installed Exchange 2k3 on a Win Server 2k3 box. I am in the process of testing email and all seems to be working fine. The only problem I seem to be running into is when opening OWA, it hangs loading. I have read and attempted to implement the white papers from Microsoft to no avail. Anyone have any suggestions? I have been on this non-stop for about 2 days now and I am about ready to pull my hair out.

Thanks!

Do you have a SSL certificate?

 

[toniak]

Yes - I created and assigned it - It didn't aleveate the problem. :-( ANy other ideas?

No, my suggestion was not to try it to solve the problem - just a possible reason for the problem.

Sometimes when verifying an SSL certificate, it can cause your browser to hang while it waits. Usually having a big name certificate like Verisign it should go quickly, but if you made your own, or use a less common service, it may not be as quick to verify.

The certificate was created two days ago - Surely it wouldn't take that long to verify. Would it??

Found out what the problem was -

It wound up being an IE 6 issue. For some reason it works fine with IE 5, Foxfire, Opera ect. Only 4 users in my entire network use IE 6, so for the time being - until I can figure out how to resolve this (by the way there is a ton of questions out there about it - but I can't find a single answer) I have installed Foxfire and created a shortcut on the desktop for those users. - If anyone knows how to fix this - please please please let me know - I am off to test test test - LOL
