Hi Christian,
       Both the servers in my US office are configured for webmail access as 
you said. Internally i.e., with in the LAN people are able to access . 
From Internet I've only one url setup to one server to access. I need the 
people who are part of other server also should be able to access their 
mailboxes thru the same url.  
Is it possible ??
 
Thanks
Gopi

Hi...
 
Normally every Exchange 2000 server is able to serve HTTP requests. Just try to 
enter http://yourexchangeserver/exchange <http://yourexchangeserver/exchange>  
in your browser and you can see. The problem is, that you should not publish 
this backend server with all your mailbox data to the internet due to security 
reasons. Therefore I would recommend to implement a reverse proxy in your dmz 
which will coordinate the incoming request and send it to the internal backend 
server. Microsoft ISA server will do fine here..
 
Greets,
Christian

        Betreff: [exchangelist] OWA
        
        
        http://www.MSExchange.org/
        
        Hi,
              I'm using exchange 2000 FE(OWA & SMTP) / BE(cluster) setup in my 
Office in India. We have two offices in USA and there are two exchange servers 
part of the same domain are installed there. 
         
        Is there anyway to configure owa on one of my servers in USA by which 
users on both the servers in USA should be able to access their mails thru that 
 owa server without making one of them as front-end. By this they don't have to 
come thru the server in India to access their mails which will be really slow 
and I don't want to have two different owa servers in the USA.
         
        This is an urgent requirement. Please help me.
        Thanks
        Gopi Krishna N

        Hello Al,
         
        Thank you very much for the quick advice. I will certainly read the 
link that you sent. One more question that comes to mind is the placement of 
the server since it is being accessed internally and externally. Should it be 
in a DMZ or is it safe enough inside running https.
         
        Thanks for help Al

                Some reading would be good. 
http://www.microsoft.com/exchange/library
                
                That said, here's a few things to consider:
                
                Win95 can access OWA; more importantly, it's IE5.5 which works 
with OWA.
                One server should be fine and it *could* be your Active 
Directory and
                Exchange server. However, there are some risks that need to be 
understood
                with that. Read the docs for more information.
                
                HTTPS is a best practice. Better practice is to use ISA to 
secure it :)
                
                I would use a public cert, but you could gen your own certs for 
HTTPS if you
                wanted.

                Hello,
                
                I have been asked to setup an Exchange 2003 server for a 
company. They want
                web access only, from inside (local lan) and outside (remote 
internet
                users). Their infrastructure is NT4, Win2k and Novell with 60 
clients most
                of which are on windows 95 and old slow equipment. They are 
looking for the
                web access so they can keep the old equipment in place while 
using IE to
                access the mail. Can anyone give me an idea of what is involved 
in setting
                this up? Some questions I have are as follows:
                
                1. Can Win95 access W2k3 via owa internally as well as 
externally 2. Will IE
                5.5 work on win95 clients connecting to W2k3 3. Do I need 2 
servers, a front
                end and back end 4. Will I need to install AD if it is not 
already installed
                within the infrastructure.
                5. Is it best practice to run HTTPS?
                6. Do I need to run certificate services
                
                Thank you,
