OWA 2007 does not work in IE7 after Exchange 2007 SP1 install
We have Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2 (SP2) running Exchange 2007 Service Pack 1 (SP1). Since installing Exchange 2007 SP1, Outlook Web Access (OWA) 2007 does not allow any activity when working in Internet Explorer 7 (IE7), only the inbox is displayed.
