Thanks. I think that narrows down my problem. I guess the reason why they
aren't being re-created in IIS is because they are empty in System Manager.
But how do I recreate them in System Manager?
You're right, OWA isn't functioning. It had been working up until a couple
of weeks ago when I was trying to get ActiveSync to work with an IPhone and
apparently messed something up.
Now I can go to Remote Web Workplace, but to get to the web logon page I get
a "Windows Security" popup asking for my password (I had not been getting
these popups before). Then after I log on at the web logon page, I get the
same popup. Then inside RWW, when I click on the "Use OWA" link I get a
white page with two words in the upper left corner (maybe "not found". I
forget, because since then I've screwed it up more by trying to manually
re-create the virtual directories in IIS.) All the other links on that page
seem to be OK. And Outlook configured with RPC over HTTP is still working.
So how can I fix this without doing too much more damage?
Thanks.
