OWA problem with different domain

[patrick118]

We have two domain's. DomainA and DomainB

DomainA has an exchange server 2003.

Users that are logging in ona a terminal server in DomainB use a OWA to check their mail.
they connect to

http://exchange/exchange/user

username: domainA\user
password: password

This always worked but since a couple of days it doesn't there hasn't changed anything. I get the page and it is asking for username/password but then it shows a part of the page and then it asks again for username/password

Any idea's

We have had times where in a second domain it asks twice then works. but a couple of days ago leads me to think patches were released a little bit ago does it download them automaitcaly or have they been applied?

 

[patrick118]

We haven't installed any patches or whatever.

The funny thing is that if you try OWA from DomainA there is no problem so it is working only not from terminal server in domainB

I would start checking events or issue with the terminal server first. Looks like some process is 'loosing' authentication information.

Well i ckecked all the logs on the terminal server. Nothing in there.

I then checked all the logs on the exchange server and i see the user gets logged on and then logged off allmost the same second.

I got it working again.

On virtual server i changed the properties of FBA to on and restarted everything and then back to off and now it is all working again.

Really the reason i don't now but it had something to do with IIS and virtual server in exchange manager.

Thanks for thinking with me people.
