hi, yesterday I did my rollout of Exchange 2010 SP1. Everything seems fine and it works, too. But when I try to use the /ecp with my owa, to activate OOF-Messages or somethin, I get this site: "Access denied - 403" It's an IIS error page. Tried to restart the IIS and checked the rights on virtual directories. /owa and /ecp are havin the same rights. Edit: Test-EcpConnectivity runs in an error - no access on testuser 'extest_19a7a2baf1e74' can I do this test with another user? with Test-Outlookwebservices I can change the user... Thanks for your help. kind regards Tim Bauer

Hi, Verify that you configured below virtual directories with basic and integrated authentication only: - exchange - exchweb - public - exadmin I hope this will help you. Regards.

hi, thanks for your help! exchange, exchweb and public are still here, but I lost exadmin?! when I try to open the authentification section of one of these virtual directories, I get the following error (I'm using an german exchange, so I will try to translate it as good as possible... sorry) Error on execution of the procedure. Details: filename: \\?\C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V14\ClientAccess\owa\web.config rownumber: 37 Error: Configurationsection must not defined under application. Behind the auth-types I see only "Status will be called..." I will try to find out what's up with this file and the row 37... but If you have a solution, please let me know ;) kind regards and thanks for help Tim Bauer

Hi, against this error are you getting any event error if yes than please post it here I hope it will help me for further guidelines. Regards. Shafaquat Ali.M.C.I.T.P Exchange 2007/2010, M.C.I.T.P Windows Server 2008, M.C.T.S OCS Server 2007 R2, URL: http://blog.WhatDoUC.net Phone: +923008210320

Hi, there's no event error. I tried to find out whats wrong with the web.config file. I deleted for tests the row 37 ("authentication = Windows") Now I can open the Authentication Sections and do configurations. But the error I recieved, when I try to open /ecp is still active! Thanks, regards Tim Bauer

Hi, found a solution. In the EMC you can relocate your virtual directories. I did this for my /ecp. Now it works fine, again. EMC -> Serverconfiguration -> clientaccess -> right click on your exchange server -> "relocate virtual directories..." Important: you should document your configuration for your /ecp (maybe your IIS and TMG, too) Thanks for your help. regards Tim Bauer
