Exchange 2007 OWA acting strange

Hi!
I am running a single server with Windows Server 2003 SP2 and Exchange 2007
SP1 installed.
I just noticed today that OWA (Outlook Web Access) which was working fine
last year is not working properly anymore.
From an XP client, I can authenticate on the Webmail but all the
icons/pictures are missing (only the text and the background color in the
webpage)and whenever I click on a button or a link, nothing happens.
From a VISTA client, it's even worse and the users are redirected to a blank
Web page that has a URL that resembles the following:
https://servername/owa/auth/logon.aspx?url=https://servername/owa&reason=0

I guess it has something to do with an Update Rollup for Exchange 2007 which
was not installed correctly.
Currently these update are installed:
Update Rollup 3 for Exchange 2007 Service Pack 1
Update Rollup 5 for Exchange 2007 Service Pack 1
and
Update Rollup 6 for Exchange 2007 Service Pack 1, just installed today
(issued by Microsoft on February 10, 2009).

I cannot trace the issue to this last update since I don't use OWA very
often.
Do I need to reinstall the Update Rollup 6? If yes, do I need to uninstall
all the Update Rollups before reinstalling Update Rollup 6?
What else can I do?

Help much appreciated.
Nicolas

Hi,

Can you check the in IIS for OWA virtual directory.

Look for folder with version no.s in it.

There will be new versions generated and possiblilities are there the rollup
is not applied properly.

Did you applied rollup through Windows Update, It is not recommended and
there are KB's that says about issues that can occur if installed via Windows
UPdate.

Download the latest rollup and reapply them.

Regards,
Ashwin

Thanks Ashwin,
Yes, it worked!
I reapplied Update Rollup 6 for Exchange 2007 Service Pack 1 - and now
everything is fine with OWA.
You saved my week!
Best regards
Nicolas
