How to Configure Change Password for OWA 2003/2007/2010 Mixed Environments

How to Configure Change Password for OWA 2003/2007/2010 Mixed Environments

The Change Password feature in OWA will break when you reconfigure the environment to use Exchange 2007 or Exchange 2010 CAS servers as front-end servers for Exchange 2003 mailbox servers.  This is because the the CAS server don't have the necessary ASP pages installed that OWA 2003 links to.

Logon to the Exchange 2007/2010 CAS server
  • Copy the %SystemRoot%\System32\inetsrv\iisadmpwd folder and files from the OWA 2003 FE server to the CAS server's %SystemRoot%\System32\inetsrv folder
  • Open IIS Manager and add a new Virtual Directory off the Default Web Site named IISADMPWD with a physical path of%SystemRoot%\System32\inetsrv\iisadmpwd
  • Right-click the new IISADMPWD virtual directory and select Convert to Application
  • Select the MSExchangeOWAAppPool
  • Restart IIS (iisreset /noforce or select the server in IIS Manager and click Restart)
