All, I'm having a problem installing my front end server on my test network here. Basically, just for testing I used the child domain E2K server to test a front end-backend scenario on this lab. I've disabled Windows Integrated logon, created a CNAME record in DNS (testing redirection). Installed SSL on the Front End server. Now what I'm getting is on the backend server if I go into ESM under the child domain where the E2K server resides. I have a (?) on the virtual server. And when looking in the system log. I'm getting all kind of DCOM errors when I click on that VS. What am I doing wrong? Did I miss a step? Please let me know. Here is what I have: -2 DC (1 root domain) (1 Child Domain) SP4 -2 E2K Exchange servers (1 root) (1 child) SP3 Thank you, _________________ John Bowles Exchange Engineer OIG/HHS jbowles@xxxxxxxxxxx
