"440 Login Timeout" error with Exchange 2007 OWA

Today I was working with one of our clients with an Exchange 2007 OWA issue . The issue was that for every time he tries to connect to OWA he got error “440 Login Timeout” either via browser or via IIS manager , as below :

This error indicates corruption of Outlook Web Access related virtual directories , and hence the solution was to rebuild it again as follow :

• First , export all OWA settings by executing the following command at elevated Exchange Management Shell  :

Get-OwaVirtualDirectory |fl > Owavdir.txt

• Then execute the following commands to remove all Outlook Web Access related virtual directories ( Line by line ) :

Remove-OwaVirtualDirectory "exchange (default web site)" Remove-OwaVirtualDirectory "public (default web site)" Remove-OwaVirtualDirectory "exchweb (default web site)" Remove-OwaVirtualDirectory "owa (default web site)"

• Finally , re-create Outlook Web Access related virtual replacing internalURL | externalURL with those for your organization :

New-OwaVirtualDirectory "exchange" -OwaVersion Exchange2003or2000 -VirtualDirectoryType Mailboxes -WebSiteName "Default Web Site" New-OwaVirtualDirectory "public" -OwaVersion Exchange2003or2000 -VirtualDirectoryType PublicFolders -WebSiteName "Default Web Site" New-OwaVirtualDirectory "exchweb" -OwaVersion Exchange2003or2000 -VirtualDirectoryType Exchweb -WebSiteName "Default Web Site" New-OwaVirtualDirectory -name "owa" -OwaVersion Exchange2007 -WebSiteName "Default Web Site" –InternalURL https://internalURL/owa -ExternalURL https://externalURL/owa

Once completed , perform IIS restart and try to browse OWA . Hope that it works for you as for me
