Service Unavailable after installing BES on Exchange 2007 server

Submitted by erichagstrom on Mon, 02/18/2008 - 10:24am.

I had a client that "broke" their OWA after a fresh Exchange 2007 install. Turns out that the BES installation had switched the aspnet_filter.dll to 32bit mode from the 64bit mode required by Exchange. I found a Microsoft KB article that outlines switching it back.

1. Click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then click OK.
2. Type the following command to disable the 32-bit mode:
cscript %SYSTEMDRIVE%\inetpub\adminscripts\adsutil.vbs SET W3SVC/AppPools/Enable32bitAppOnWin64 0
3. Type the following command to install the version of ASP.NET 2.0 and to install the script maps at the IIS root and under:
%SYSTEMROOT%\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727\aspnet_regiis.exe -i
4. Make sure that the status of ASP.NET version 2.0.50727 is set to Allowed in the Web service extension list in Internet Information Services Manager.

Set me straight...

This worked like a charm and then starting 2.0.50727 actually fixed another problem that I was having.

Thank you very much for having this here for users to find. You have solved what could have possibly been a few hour search through websites and forums.
