I believe it has to do with the type of authentication methods you are allowing on your Exchange IIS virtual directory. On ours, we have integrated Windows authentication turned off, and basic authentication on. This forces a username/password prompt for our users when they go to our OWA site. –Koohiisan

We have set up Network Load Balancing (NLB) on two Hub Transport/Client Access servers. (Windows Server 2008/Exchange Server 2007)
I ran across this same problem a couple years ago. The problem was that the NLB appliances did not support FBA (Forms Based Authentication). I was told that without FBA, OWA would not work because, in essence, the http datastream is being split mid-conversation between the two OWA servers. It’s definitely worth investigating your NLB [...]
