Our web guy was trying to do a redirect on the new exch07 box. He put the lollowing into wwwroot.The file name is index.asp: <% Dim rTo if Request.ServerVariables("HTTPS") = "off" then rTo = "https://mail.domainname.edu/owa" end if Response.Status = "301 Moved" Request.ServerVariables("REMOTE_ADDR") Response.AddHeader "Location", rTo %> <%= rTo %>He then added that to the documents tab in IIS.Now access is denied. You can get to the logon page, but then you get the error "You do not have permission to perform this action."We tried to get it back to where it was but it still does not work.If I was to restore from backup, which folders would need to be replaced?

Try restoring the metabase. If that fails, then you can resort to recreating your vdirectories if you do not wish to troubleshoot the issue 2nd link below.Open IIS manager. Right click your server name, all tasks, backup and restore.Also if you're trying to do the redirect use the KB article below the method you tried was a bit off. How to Simplify the Outlook Web Access URLhttp://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa998359.aspxError message when you try to log on to Exchange 2007 by using Outlook Web Access: "440 Login Timeout"http://support.microsoft.com/kb/941201James Chong (MVP) MCITP | EA | EMA; MCSE | M+, S+ Security+, Project+, ITIL msexchangetips.blogspot.com

In other case, if you have really moved the URL https://mail.domainname.edu/owa then the default.asp/aspx should be put in the /owa directory and not in the wwwroot directory. If you move the newly placed default.asp file to some other location on the disk are you able to see OWA page? If its a case of OWA URL redirect then you can simply follow the article linked by James.Milind Naphade | MCTS:M | http://www.msexchangegeek.com

You can also restore your OWA by below steps Delete the OWA virtual directory from IIS, then re-create the OWA virtual directory using the following command in the exchange command shell; New-OWAVirtualDirectory -OwaVersion:Exchange2007 -Name "OWA" Also refer below KB's http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa996373.aspx http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb124811.aspx http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa998849.aspx http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb123752.aspxVinod |CCNA|MCSE 2003 +Messaging|MCTS|ITIL V3|
