Tips on troubleshooting OWA -Exchange 2003

[BigShyBear]

Does anybody have any good tips/URLS on troubleshooting OWA on Exchange 2003 after an upgrade from Exchange 2000?
My (only) server WAS running Windows 2000 and Exchange 2000. I upgraded first to Exchange 2003, then went back and upgraded to Windows 2003 Server Standard edition. Exchange 2003 works, OWA does not. Anybody have any good tips on how to fix this? I go into IIS Manager and I see that under the 'default website' it can't find the path for 'Exadmin' (pointing to \\.\BackOfficeStorage) and Exchange (pointing to \\BackOficeStorage\wwcca.org\MBX). I'm guessing the root problem is the difference between the way Exchange 2000 and Exchange 2003 access their datastore but I don't know for sure.

Thanks, got it.
There were a couple of problems.
I used the info at

http://www.depopo.net

on 'Restoring broken Outlook web access'(

http://www.depopo.net/idx/o/195/article/

which fixed part of the IIS problems.
Another part was that I had previously upgraded this server from Exchange 5.5 to Exchange 2000 and IIS was stilling trying to load 'exchfilt.dll'. As soon as I ran the fix listed in the depopo.net article, and removed the exchfilt.dll file from loading in IIS Manager for the default web site, OWA started working again.
