As I mentioned in my earlier post today, I migrated my server here at home this weekend.  Well, once the new server was online, the only hiccup I discovered was that I couln't access OWA.  I kept getting this bloody '440 Authentication Timeout' page in IE.  And I would get it instantly, so there was no way it was actually timing out.  A quick google on this error returned a half dozen pages of threads, with no resolutions.  As a result, I figured I'd better blog this for future reference . . .

The root cause of this is the IUSR_<servername> and IWAM_<servername> accounts' passwords being out of sync (between AD & IIS).  Here's the steps necessary to fix this.  (And make sure to verify that neither of these accounts are locked out in AD!  I missed that the first time around and spent an extra hour and a half trying to figure out why it wasn't working! :^)

1)  Open AD Users & Computers.  Expand the Users OU, right-click on the IUSR_<servername> account and select 'Reset password'  Reset the password to anything you want (however, it can't be blank).


2)  Open this User Account's properties and verify that the account is not locked out  :^)  Also, make sure that 'Password never expires' and 'User cannot change password' are selected.

3)  Repeat steps 1 & 2 for the IWAM_<servername> account.  Close AD Users & Computers.


4)  Open Internet Information Services  (Start | Administrative Tools)

5)  Expand <servername> | Web Sites

6)  Right-click on 'Default Web Site' and select Properties.

7)  Go to the 'Directory Security' tab and click the Edit button under 'Authentication & Access Control'

8)  Enter the new password for the IUSR_<servername> account and click OK.

9)  Enter the password again to confirm and click OK.

10) Click OK.

11)  Open a command prompt and enter  iisreset

12)  At the command prompt, enter the following commands:
        cd c:\inetpub\adminscripts
        adsutil SET w3svc/WAMUserPass <password>    (Where <password> = the password you entered for the IWAM_<servername> account in AD Users & Computers)
        c:\windows\system32\cscript.exe "c:\inetpub\adminscripts\synciwam.vbs" -v
        iisreset

Voila!  That should fix you right up . . .    :^)

After reading your post I realized what I had done to make mine not work - I was changing ports and also changed the allow anonymous access to no or basically don't allow anonymous access. Changing this back also fixed my problem - thanks for getting me on track.

Back in December of 2003/January of 2004, I worked with this problem for a long time before we finally figured out what was wrong. We had even more of a rough time because we had the passwords synched, but the problem was that it was the LOCAL IWAM and IUSR accounts, and not the ones on the actual domain. Use caution with that.. Also, ours would work for a while then give out about the same time everyday, and IIS needed to be recycled. I am noticing that more and more people have gotten the problem since then.. I'm wondering if MSFT is going to have a patch (or does it already have the patch) for this..

If I read this right, there are four lines to type. Is there a space before and after quotes in third line?
Was successful after first two lines.

12) At the command prompt, enter the following commands:

Well, it got past the 440 timeout error,
I get the login screen but no login account works!
I Tried reseting the accounts and or creating a new user, no login will work.
I also tried the admin login no luck.

All other services work, as far as company web, and remote desktop, etc.

Sound like a authentication error again.
I check to make sure anonymous access was check also.

Actually I had the same issue and the fix didn't work for me. What DID work was to go under the Exchange System Manager and drill down to:Servers>{your server name}>Protocols>HTTP>Exchange Virtual Server.

Right click it and properties. Then click on the settings tab. Unclick Enable Forms Based Authentication, and then apply. Stop and restart the web page in IIS. Then go back in and re-enable it. Say okay. It worked for me. I can now authenticate with any user.

Good luck

Hey, thanks much for the help. New SBS 2003 install and no formal training = wonderful & challenging combination.

Any chance of getting an assist on the next step, accssing the OWA from the external world??? I have a xyz.net domain regsitered with my ISP and just can't seem to get to the OWA URL from the outside. My internal domain is yyy.local and the OWA page comes up fine with the https://servername/exchange string.

Thanks

The Problem with

3D14228C-FBE1-11d0-995D-00C04FD919C1

Have you looked in your system event? You should see a event id of 10004 from DCOM.

The message is I\O overlap error with IWAM user unable to logon.

See eventid.net and Microsoft also so a google search on

3D14228C-FBE1-11d0-995D-00C04FD919C1

and you will find heaps of solutions. I managed to clear it off our 2000 server but it took serveral tries.

Thanks for the blogger solution worked a treat.... first solution i found on this problem.

In my case the reason for the same error was in
settings of the Exchange virtual directory in Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS).Exchange virtual directory was configured to accept only Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) connections and Integrated Windows authentication was not enabled on the Exchange virtual directory.

Great article. I've setup a few sbs boxes but never been a regular user. I can't say how the site behaved before in terms of redirecting http:// requests over to the https://, but after the exchange reinstall and IIS configuration the redirect wasn't happening for some clients. So I setup a redirect method.

This assumes that:
- you have a "default web site" entry in IIS
- the "default web site" just performs sbs tasks for owa and remote access and doesn't actually host a "www" style main web site
- you have alread setup a certificate and enable ssl for your "default web site" entry in IIS manager

1) Disable port 80 communication on the "default web site" by entering a random name (not dns resolvable) in the host field under the "default web site"'s advanced IP properties. I used "secure"

2) Create a new web site
- called "httpredirect"
- point it to a new folder called c:\inetpub\httpredirect.
- allow it to answer on port 80 with no defined host name

3) in the c:\inetpub\httpredirect folder create folders for any virtual directories you think your clients might have bookmarked (ie. /exchange /tsweb /remote)

4) create a "default.asp" file in each of the new directories (including c:\inetpub\httpredirect) containing the following text:

(Note if the formatting in this comment blows the symbols away, the "default.asp" document should start with a less than symbol and a percent symbol, and then end with a percent sign and a greater than symbol)


----Beginning of File ------
<%
'Set the buffer so that a redirect is possible
Response.Buffer = True

'pull the requested url or host name
varRequestURL = Request.ServerVariables("SERVER_NAME")

varRedirect = "https://" & varRequestURL

'redirect to the https website for those that for whatever reasons don't automatically
Response.Redirect varRedirect

'if they still don't redirect, give them a nice link to click instead of the "USE HTTPS extension crap
response.write "<html><body><br><a href=" & varRedirect & _
">Click here to be redirected to the secured version of the " & _
varRequestURL & " site.</a></body></html>"

%>

Hope this helps somebody :)

Thanks. Worked last week. Today it doesn't. Reset passwords. When resetting password in IIS I was prompted by Child Nodes (Exadmin, Exchange, Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync, OMA, Public) Selected All. OK. Command prompt - iisreset. Did not do adsutil... (got error message "this script does not work with WScript" Would you like to register CScript as your default host fr VBscript?" OK, however OWA now works!

You are a 'Genius' :-)
For those of you who are still having problems then I suggest you try going to this link then perform Method 1 under the heading:

'Exchange 2003
Method 1: Reset the HighWaterMarks'

after performing method 1 then perform method 2.

Once you have performed both methods then try following the 'Genius' fix as described below:


1) Open AD Users & Computers. Expand the Users OU, right-click on the IUSR_<servername> account and select 'Reset password' Reset the password to anything you want (however, it can't be blank).


2) Open this User Account's properties and verify that the account is not locked out :^) Also, make sure that 'Password never expires' and 'User cannot change password' are selected.


3) Repeat steps 1 & 2 for the IWAM_<servername> account. Close AD Users & Computers.


4) Open Internet Information Services (Start | Administrative Tools)


5) Expand <servername> | Web Sites


6) Right-click on 'Default Web Site' and select Properties.


7) Go to the 'Directory Security' tab and click the Edit button under 'Authentication & Access Control'


8) Enter the new password for the IUSR_<servername> account and click OK.


9) Enter the password again to confirm and click OK.


10) Click OK.


11) Open a command prompt and enter:
iisreset
press Enter

12) At the command prompt, enter the following commands:
cd c:\inetpub\adminscripts
adsutil SET w3svc/WAMUserPass <password> (Where <password> = the password you entered for the IWAM_<servername> account in AD Users & Computers)
c:\windows\system32\cscript.exe "c:\inetpub\adminscripts\synciwam.vbs" -v

Hi Guys... much easier solution and it worked for me... not saying it will work for anybody or everybody but if none of the above will work for you try this...

owalogon.asp comes up with 440 login timeout replace it with your country's desired logon.asp page..

example australia uses usa so i find usa's logon.asp page...

"C:\Program Files\Exchsrvr\exchweb\bin\auth\usa"

and copy into

"C:\Program Files\Exchsrvr\exchweb\bin\auth"

delete the original "owalogon.asp" and rename update "logon.asp" to the original's name "owalogon.asp

hopefully that can solve a few people's problems...


make sure you backup before alterations... this is always a must

Alex, your solution of copying the "logon.asp" into the C:\Program Files\Exchsrvr\exchweb\bin\auth directory and then renaming it to "owalogon.asp" worked. Nothing else I tried worked before that so thank you!

I've since gone back and figured out why that fixed the problem. Maybe this solution will help others too.

Anyway, the "owalogon.asp" is supposed to direct you to the appropriate "logon.asp" depending on what language you are using. If you are in the USA, it will direct you to the "logon.asp" file in the "C:\Program Files\Exchsrvr\exchweb\bin\auth\usa" directory. By replacing the "owalogon.asp" file with the "logon.asp" from the USA directory and renaming it, it never needs redirected to the actual logon.asp file and therefore the problem goes away.

The problem I was having is that I was editing and moving around various "logon.asp" files trying to customize it. In the process of doing that, the permissions were lost. Only Administrators had rights to the "logon.asp" file! So I went into the properties of the file and configured it to inherit the permissions. I then went back to the original "owalogon.asp" file instead of using the renamed "logon.asp" file.

That fixed the problem. Your workaround pointed me in the right direction but I thought other people might have this problem and want to fix it a different way.

Great sequence of comments following a great blog!
cgross' and Alex's comments got me fixed up.... think my problem was permissions related....
All I'm left with now is the OWA calendar - getting session expiries left right and centre, but email is up - makes the users happy. Thanks!!

You are THE ***!  You solution worked very well.  One thing that some need to remember is that for FBA to work you must allow basic AND Integrated authentication.  FBA will not work without the basic authentication.  Thanks,

Brian

Fantastic, I had an exchange problem with the installation of SP2 which stripped the machine of it's AD components, I had to trouble shoot the AD machine permissions, reinstall AD on the machine, manually troubleshoot the services not starting, I had access to pst's again through outlook but OWA wasnt working, this cleared it up straight away, Incidently I also got the out of process error message, however it still worked.

Cheers!

I would have to agree, this solution (just applied) will hold up under my 2000 user organization.

OK if you do the above and get the this reply,
IIS Applications Defined:

w3svc, 0, {3D14228C-FBE1-11d0-995D-00C04FD919C1}

{3D14228D-FBE1-11d0-995D-00C04FD919C1}

Updating Applications:
(it stops here)

Then do the following.

Open a command prompt and go to:

%windir%\system32\inetsrv

type:

rundll32 wamreg.dll, CreateIISPackage

This is case-sensitive!

followed by

iisreset

This will re-create the IIS Packages.

Now run,

c:\windows\system32 cscript.exe "c:\inetpub\adminscripts\synciwam.vbs" -v

       iisreset

Should work fine now.

I'm expierencing the same error:

I've migrated SBS2003 server to new hardware.  After the migration I'm unable to load the companyweb site, or any of the wed driven managment tools.  I'm able to reach the server from outside of the network which will load the "Welcome to Windows Small Business Server 2003  To get started, click a link."

From this point on none of the links work they all 404.

I'm pulling out my hair, I've tried all of the fixes listed in the Blog except the OWA copy logon fix.

Any ideas?

I tried the steps in this post and it failed to work for me. So here are the steps that I followed. 1) Uninstall the Certificate Services 2) Disable Forms based Authentication 3) Delete and Recreate the exchange Virtual directories - see http://msmvps.com/blogs/kwsupport/archive/2004/10/02/14723.aspx 4) Re-install Certificate Services 5) Re Enable forms Based Authentication 6) Run IISRESET. Hope this helps out someone.
