OWA Change Password Disappeared

I am using Forms Based Authenication for my 2K3 OWA and I noticed after
performing the latest W2K3 SP1 and related installs that my OWA Change
Password option is no longer displaying. Maybe this is a concidence of
timing but I am wondering. I went back into the registry and verified that
the key DisablePassword is set to 0. I have set it back to 1 rebooted then
set it back to 0 and rebooted again with no resolve. I can go to
http://owa/iisadmpwd and it works fine but the button no longer shows up
from the Options page in OWA.

Any Ideas?

Thanks,
Fred

Fred:
Do you have a front-end and back-end server? I think it has to be
enabled on the back-ends, if memory serves me correctly.

Jim,
Good eye! I had made the registry change on one of our BE servers but
not the other 2. I thought about that this morning as I was getting ready
to go to work. I assume that altering the cookie timeout parameter must be
made on both the FE and BE too?

Thanks,
Fred
