Also,  in this configuration if the backend server is takend down for
some reason (patching.. Hardware servicing.. Etc) will the front end
server be smart enough to keep accepting smtp traffic from external
sources?

So I have a front end server that is available to the internet servicing
smtp, pop3, and owa.

The brack end server has the IS.


Which machine will be hit for internal behind the firewall outlook 2k
clients (imap4?)

A very basic concept is that the front end server just handles the smtp
server, pop3 etc while the information store is kept in the back end
server.  One of it's main advantages is to publish an exchange server on
the internet like OWA etc.  If the front end server is hacked or
something, still the intruder won't have access to the information
store.

I have a question about the front-end / backend process.    Does the
front-end service the internet smtp traffic only... And backend services
the inhouse outlook client stuff?

How exactly does this work... And what is the benefit?    Thanks a ton

Hi MARK,

Its very easy to built your front end back end Infrastructure.

I was wondering any reason if you want to use E2K as front end server.

Regards,
Kalpesh.

http://www.MSExchange.org/

Hello. I am in the process of planning a front-End / Back End scenario
for our Exchange system. Currently, we are running Exchange 2000
Enterprise on a Windows 2000 advanced (non clustered) server.

I have some questions that I was wondering if someone might be able to
assist me with.

1.  Which server machine, Front or Back, should be more powerful?

2. We currently have in production a "Webserver", which hosts our
Website. Is it possible to make this machine also a Front End server?

3. Is it true an organization can have one front-End Server and several
back end servers (for different organizations / domains)? We want to
have two independent mail systems

4. How easy / difficult is it to migrate / move from our current
structure of one Email server to Front-End / Back End

5. Has anybody had experience with Front-End / Back-End? Any feedback
would be appreciated.

 

Thanks for your time.

Regards,

Mark
