All my clients can full access their respective mailboxes in OWA, but they cannot change the password. I use Win2k Server with Exhange Server 2000, all clients IE 5.0 128bits encryption. When I try to change the password via OWA it returns an error message that says this page cannot to be exibited (the same the page was not found).
In Microsoft Knowledge Base I?ve found an article but it didn?t worked!
What can do to solve this problem?
If possible, I want know the exactly permissions and configurations I have to use to perfectly configure the IIS 5 with Exchange 2000

I am seeing exactly the same thing. Here is some information about my environment perhaps if we put our heads together we can figure it out.

Background (6 months ago, when owa WAS changing password)

Windows NT 4.0 SP6a, Domain Controller, IIS 4, Exchange 5.5 SP3. All running on one machine.

Background (to date)
upgraded Windows 2000 SP1, Domain Controller, IIS 5, Exchange 5.5 SP3. Running owa on two machines the other is not a domain controller, the password issue appears on both machines.

Theory:
Looks like we may have found a bug either with IIS 5, or Exchange 5.5. I'm sure that an upgrade to Exchange 2000 would fix the issue, but so far I am not impressed with Exchange 2k. On the other hand Exchange 5.5 SP4, just came out I haven't tried it yet, but I guess it is worth a shot. There have also been some patches for IIS, guess I/we should give those a try too.
