I have a user that when we configure it in ADUC to have logon restrictions
to only a certain computer he can no longer open OWA from anywhere else
EXCEPT that station.

Exchange 2007 SP1 in Win2003 SP2

any ideas?

all the contrary, is totally unexpected as it doesn't counts as a regular
login.
what i want is that user to only be able to work on it's specified
workstation, but to be able to open OWA from anywhere(even when he's home)
as that doesn't entails a computer-level domain login.

Whats more, when the user is logged on that station, then he can open OWA
from anywhere else, the moment you logoff, it goes back to the anomalous
behaviour

This is a bit of a long shot.  But when someone logs into the domain, they
become a member of the built-in security group Authenticated Users.  Now,
imagine that you have Forms-Based Authentication enabled, but the logon.asp
page on the server has its access restricted to Authenticated Users (instead
of, say, Domain Users, or Everyone); then, they would never be able to log
onto OWA without logging in, first.  And, if you restricted their logon to
one computer, they would only ever be able to access it from there.  Of
course, if only one user is affected...  Maybe all the other users are in
another group that has access to the logon page, and this user isn't?

It would help to see the iis log file entries generated when they try to use
OWA.

Lee.

It's the only user with logon restrictions, if i configure any other user,

Can you find the IIS log file entries that are generated when they fail to
gain access to OWA?
