SBS2000 using Exchange and ISA OK so I broke down and got my self the ISA Server and Beyond (great book by the way). I started to go through the steps of disabling socket pooling for SMTP and IMAP. So I went to disable socket pooling for SMTP and to set up exchange to use the internal NIC and not the External. Right now Exchange is using the External Nic to send an recieve mail. When I switch it to the internal NIC, I can recieve, but not send. There were a few steps that required to go into the propteries of the Default SMTP Virtual Server in IIS. I dont seem to have that in IIS. I do in Exchange. I cannot continue with the other steps unless I can get into the propteries of the Defaul SMTP Virtual Server in IIS. The steps that I am trying to complete deal with not allowing your exchange to be a realy server. Plus I also think I need it to assign Exchange to the internal NIC. I tried to go into Control Panel | Add/Remove Programs | Add/Remove Windows components | IIS | to add the SMTP Virtual Server in IIS, but its says its already added. Others have told me that not being able to see the Defaul SMTP Virtual Server in the MMC after installing Exchange is normal. If its normal, then how can I access it? How can I complete the steps to not allow my Exchange to become a realy server, to allow Exchagne to use the Internal NIC and to disable Socket Pooling for SMTP and IMAP to use remotely? I have been pulling out my hair too long with this (almost bald now). Sorry if this dosent make any sense, I have tried to do this so many different ways that in a little confused as to what is going on...
