QUESTION POSED ON: 02 February 2006
I have IIS 5.0 on Windows Server 2000 using Outlook Web Access with Exchange 2000. I am new to this system and it looks like the security is not set up quite right. I want only certain domain users to have access to OWA but it seems that ALL domain users can log on.
