Recently, a colleague encountered an interesting problem after installing Exchange 2003 sp2. The OWA gave error 503 on the sole exchange server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Restarting the services revealed an event ID 122 for the source EXOLEDB. “Microsoft Exchange OLEDB was unable to initialize property table”.
\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A quick check with Microsoft Support web site revealed a tech doc but strangely the mentioned folder cannot be enumerated. Since it is talking about the public folder, I checked the public folder access in OWA. All the rest of the sites are listed but not mine! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I thought the OWA virtual server was corrupted so I bound another IP and created another HTTP server. It revealed the same error. Therefore it has to be something broke at the core.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Further search on the Internet revealed a newsgroup posting. Recreate the mail store by moving to another new mail store or run defrag. Surprisingly it worked and fixed the problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
