server:
Exchange 2003 SP1
Window 2000 Server SP4
3.2 gig P4
1 gig DDR RAM

issue: This is a brand new Exchange server which is also a domain
controller hosting a publicly exposed website. The virtual directories
created by Exchange 2003 for Outlook Web Access (/Exchange) work fine
and at one point, so did OMA. But now when browsing to
"http://servername/OMA" I get

"There is a configuration issue with Outlook(R) Mobile Access. Please
contact your administrator."

Also, in the Application event log, the following is logged:
Source: MSExchangeOMA
Category:(1000)
Event ID: 1511
Description: "Reading the Internet Information Services metabase for
the Microsoft(R) Exchange default domain at node /LM/W3SVC/1/Root/OMA
failed with error -2147024891"

I've been googling these error messages and event id numbers for 2 days
now and hafve yet to see an explanation that fixes my problem.
I've already tried running aspnet_regiis.exe to reset password with no
luck. Im desperate for any suggestions or any kind or hints.

-2147024891 = 0x80070005 = access denied

That *might* be a password or account problem, but I'd bet it's
probably a damaged metabase file. If you have a backup of the
metabase, restore it and see if the problem goes away.

Nope.. no metabase backups. The server is less than a week old. I've
not had a whole lot of .NET exposure yet so im not sure of all the
places that the framework needs username/passowrd administration. I
did find some info from another posting on a similar issue regarding
the username/password in the machine.config file. I tried using a
couple of different accounts there with no change in results. Is there
some other place I should be looking?

Thanks for the response Rich!

That did the trick. I know I've deleted & recreated those exchange
shares manually using the Exchange System Manager before. I jsut never
deleted the metabase DS2MB branch before. Thanks again for the help
Rich.

For any others in the same boat, the direct link to the MSKB article
is:
