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 ??

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..

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.

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 "Mulnick, Al" <Al.Mulnick@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: http://www.MSExchange.org/ 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.

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, ------------------------------------------------------ List Archives: http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=exchangelist Exchange Newsletters: http://www.msexchange.org/pages/newsletter.asp Exchange FAQ: http://www.msexchange.org/pages/larticle.asp?type=FAQ ------------------------------------------------------ Other Internet Software Marketing Sites: Leading Network Software Directory: http://www.serverfiles.com No.1 ISA Server Resource Site: http://www.isaserver.org Windows Security Resource Site: http://www.windowsecurity.com/ Network Security Library: http://www.secinf.net/ Windows 2000/NT Fax Solutions: http://www.ntfaxfaq.com ------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------ List Archives: http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=exchangelist Exchange Newsletters: http://www.msexchange.org/pages/newsletter.asp Exchange FAQ: http://www.msexchange.org/pages/larticle.asp?type=FAQ ------------------------------------------------------ Other Internet Software Marketing Sites: Leading Network Software Directory: http://www.serverfiles.com No.1 ISA Server Resource Site: http://www.isaserver.org Windows Security Resource Site: http://www.windowsecurity.com/ Network Security Library: http://www.secinf.net/ Windows 2000/NT Fax Solutions: http://www.ntfaxfaq.com ------------------------------------------------------ _____ Do you Yahoo!?
