Outlook Web Access not working with Exchange 2003

Recently I installed Excahgne 2003 on a Windows Server 2003 Domain Controller on our network. I know this is probably not advisable, but we only have a small network with a few machines and there was really anywhere else to put Excahnge. Anyhow, Exchange works brilliantly for us, except for Outlook Web Access (OWA). The domain administrator account can quite happily log in to and make use of OWA; if any other user tries to use OWA, authentication fails three times and then an HTTP/1.1  401 Unauthorized error page is displayed. If figure that this is something to do with (lack of ) file permissions or user rights assignments on non-admin domain accounts, but I can't work out which permissions. I've found a couple of other postings on the Web relating to the same issue and they suggest that domain user accounts need to be given local logon rights on the server and read/execute permissions on the Exchange web directories. I've tried these fixes and it still doesn't work so I'm now officially stumped.

If anyone can give me an answer or point me at an article which tells me how resolves this I'd be really grateful as we'd really like ot make OWA work
