Exchange Server 2003 - Outlook Web Access Problems

Question

First, I am quite the newbie to Windows Server and Exchange. However, I consider myself pretty intelligent and can generally figure things out.... any ways: First problem is that none of the 'buttons' under OWA using the premium interface seem to work. The New Mail icon does not work, the Log Off button does not work; nothing works. The basic interface seems to work fine. IE 6.0 is showing errors on page with the premium interface. I should point out that this only happens when OWA is accessed from outside our LAN (or access via a domain instead of internal IP). So, it would seem to be a firewall issue and port forwarding. Second problem (or more of a configuration) is how to make the default website for a Windows Server 2003 SBE the OWA page. I have read you can make the OWA the default website, but no instructions for doing so. I did try a few things to get this, but none successful; I may very well have caused the problems I am having with the premium. I've been searching for a good in-depth website to OWA, but too many seem to just scratch the surface, or don't cover what I need to know. Any ideas?

Err, if you don't know what you're doing then just call Microsoft. For $245 they'll answer all your questions and get you up and running in no time.

JUST $245, haven't I paid them enough already?! :-) Would rather give my self a new PDA, cellular or something else for that money...

Anyways the problem was something Microsoft has labeled "IIS 6.0 compression corruption" and the solution can be found here:
