OWA and Parent Paths -- iis security

I have a W2K server with Exchange 2000 and IIS 5 running on it for
Outlook Web Access. When I ran the Baseline Security Analyzer, it told
me I had a problem with Parent Paths. When I followed the instructions
for fixing this problem (unchecking the enable parent paths check box
in IIS) when I log into OWA, all I got was a directory listing for the
Exchange virtual directory (which is a list of all of the mailboxes on
the exchange server). Is this an issue with which nodes I selected to
apply the disable parent paths to? There were 4 listed, and I chose
all of them - 3 were exhange related and the other one was "public".
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

You will need to re-enable Parent Paths for Exchange OWA to work.

Cheers
