Sooo.... My Windows Server 2003 ran Chkdsk after a restart this morning and found and cleaned many security descriptors. Now OWA and ActiveSync will only authenticate for Administrators. I have followed several Microsoft articles to completely remove and reinstall the Exchange websites in IIS, and to restore the appropriate NTFS security permissions for the entire server with no change in behavior. Any ideas or nudges in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. The email accounts are setup to use OWA and ActiveSync, and are inheriting permissions. The IIS logs are showing 401 2 for OWA and 500 for ActiveSync.
