Outlook Web Access did not initialize.

Support Notes in using Windows Server 2008

Outlook Web Access did not initialize.

When I set the owa system to forms based authentication now the Web Browser access fails after the login has been entered.

Solution is to disable Forms Authentication

Start IIS Administrator
click on OWA
Under IIS on the right panel
Click on Authentication
Right Click on Forms Authentication
and Select Disable

Now run a Command Prompt as an Administrator and type
iisreset /noforce

This was the error from the Web Browser
https://www.xxx.xom.au/owa
Outlook Web Access did not initialize. An event has been logged so that the system administrator can resolve the issue. Please contact technical support for your organization.
