The remote server returned an error: (440) Login Timeout

The error could be caused by the Forms Based Authentication feature being enabled in Exchange 2003.

The signOWA.reg your forwarded has "OWAfba"="0".

Question

Try and change "OWAfba"="1"?

Problems with OWA can usually be traced to one of the following areas:

The client’s Web browser
The client’s connection to the IIS Server
An IIS problem
An Exchange problem

Re. 1) Same error on another computer (same user)?

Question

Re 2) Same error for all users?

Hi Jesper,

I have figured this out... I shot myself in the foot.
I reference the post on "how to permanently delete users from emailsignature"
http://www.emailsignature.eu/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=3982#3982

My solution was to take execute permission on sign.exe away from those users you don't want to take up a license. DOH!
That's what was causing my problem with running SignOWA.exe - the admin didn't have permission to run sign.exe!

Once I changed it to either run with a user that does have execute permission - or gave Administrator permission to run it, it works.

Now I still have the problem of restricting the licenses...

Regards,
Paul

Hi Paul,

make a simple check in your logon-script - if a user belongs to the group "eMailSignature" you execute sign.exe, if the user does not belong to the group nothing will happen. So you could solve your problem with the licenses...

example for kixx script and settings database on sql-server:

If InGroup ("eMailSignature")

? " "

? " - executing eMailSignature sign.exe.."

$sign_cmd = "emailsignature\sign.exe Provider=sqloledb;Data Source=XXXXXXXX1;Initial Catalog=XXXXXXXX;User Id=XXXXXXX;Password=XXXXXXXX;"
Shell $script_source+$sign_cmd

endif

? ""

Return

Hope, this could help you...
