Hi, I'm trying to setup Communicator Web Access (CWA) on a server that is already running Live Comms 2005, Exchange 2003 & OWA. I have done a test install on a VMWare machine, got it up and running successfully. However now I am trying to do it on the live system, I can not get it working. The problem seems to be down to web site authentication, as when I try to view the web page, I get "You are not authorized to view this page" 401.2 error. Looking at the working vm machine, if I click the web site, and do properties, directory security, authentication & access control, there is NO authentication method specified, anonymous, integrated, digest, basic, .net are all UN-checked. However on the non-working machine, if I go into authentication & access control, everything is set the same, but when I click OK, I get an error message saying ""the authentication options you have selected will result in access being denied." This seems to be the reason why I am getting the not authorised to view web page, however, how do I fix this problem? Why does the working test machine not give this error, and work fine? Am I missing something? What should I be checking? I've have deleted the virtual web server, created it again, both manually, and using the CWA tool, I have even exported the working virtual server config on the vm machine, and imported it into the non-working live server, but it made no difference! Any help greatly appreciated Ben
Hi Ben, Did you ever figure this out? Was it just CWA not working or did OWA cease to work after the CWA install?

Hi, No, never figured it out, I'm actually going to phone MS tech support tomorrow. OWA works perfectly, it's only CWA.

This may be way off base but...In IIS, have you checked on the asp.net tab under the properties of your CWA site to make sure it is using asp.net 2.0? The OWA site should be set to 1.1.

Hi, Yeah under the ASP.net tab I have v 2.0.50727 selected. I *think* it maybe something to do with the site running on an exchange server that is also a domain controller, possibly the domain controller policy has some security setting that is screwing it up.
