Greetings. I have recently installed Exchange 2013 in a stand-alone Server 2012 VM. The VM acts as a domain controller (this is a development environment only). I installed both roles during the installation and have upgraded to CU1. I can successfully login to OWA at __https://dc.adventureworks.com/owa (underscores to bypass this forum's URL rules only) as ADVENTUREWORKS\Administrator (Administrator in this VM is a domain admin). OWA loads fine and shows an empty mailbox/calendar. I can also successfully login to __https://dc.adventureworks.com:444/ecp but this just shows mail settings, not the ECP site I was expecting.
The problem I'm having is that when I put in my credentials to __https://dc.adventureworks.com/ecp (the main ECP site), the browser flickers and immediately takes me back to the ECP login page. If I put in an invalid password for this account, it properly displays the error message and asks to enter it again. I can successfully connect to the server via Exchange power shell but not ECP UI. The ECP virtual directory (under default web site) has Anonymous and Basic enabled, and all other authentication providers disabled. I have tried multiple browsers with no luck. There are a few blogs/forums out in the intranets that have similar problems to this, but none of the suggestions have resolved my issue. Thanks for any feedback.
