Dear Vinod , thank you for your quck respons, i folowed the link that you posted and the article was quide inforamtive. After masive google search I found out that the permisions one exchweb virtual directory on exchange 2003 backend where wrongly set. It is required that windows integrated athetication is enabled on the directory to function properly. The exchweb directory is the one ho holds owa theams, for legacy OWA experience, after ensuring that all my backend servers head windows integrated athetication set it worked.Thank you for your helpBujar

Dear Allen, accesing OWA directly wors well, the redirection is the problem. I finaly managed to find out the problem with windows integrated athetication was missing on exhweb directory on my backend servers. Afterwords it worked.Thank youBujar
