I have a question about owa. Currently my users are out ot office and are checkig their mail through owa. everything was going fine for the first few days, however on the fourth day no one was able to log on. At the authentication screen they would type in their password but it would not accept it. I found that the only way to let them log on was to give them domain admin rights. Now I dont want to give domain admin to regular users. I was in the same situation a few weeks ago and I am still unable to find the cause of this problem. What could be the cause of this

I am not certain that this is the best way to fix this but it is definitely preferable to giving out the admin password. Since no one else has responded I will offer my best advice. I use OWA for a few users on SBS. Here is how I corrected this problem.
Open Management Console
Right click on Default Website
choose Properties
Select Operators tab
add group or individuals to the permited list.
Stop Service for default website at console root and then restart it.

First, is your server NT 4.0 or W2K?
Second, you have to give Exchange directory under your wwwroot permissions to Authenticate Users and reset ACL on all child folders. It should resolve your problem.
