Greetings all,
 
We are currently running Exchange 2003 on Windows 2000 SP 4 servers and
are testing migrating to windows 2003/exchange 2003 setup. 
 
In windows 2000/exchange 2003 SP 1 - We have a FE/BE arrangement with
the following FE server setup.
 
DNS set to mail.ccbcmd.edu
 
IIS 5 - default web site settings
Set to redirect to a url - https://mail.ccbcmd.edu/exchange
    set it as a perment redirect and a folder under this one.
Aynomyous and basic authenication is checked and domain name is entered
force SSL is checked at the default web site.
 
Exchange - form based authenication is checked and working
 
When a user types mail.ccbcmd.edu they get re-directed to
https://mail.ccbcmd.edu. they are not required to type the https.

IIS 6 - default web site settings
Set to redirect to a url - https://mail.ccbcmd.edu/exchange
    set it as a perment redirect and a folder under this one.
Aynomyous and basic authenication is checked and domain name is entered
force SSL is checked at the default web site.
 
Exchange - form based authenication is checked and working
 
When a user types mail.ccbcmd.edu they get a notice that they must type
https. 
 
I would like help on find out how to re-directed to
https://mail.ccbcmd.edu so that they are not required to type the https
like we have in our current IIS 5 setup.. We need to have force SSL on
the entire web site not just exchweb directory for other security
reasons.
 
thanks for your assistance,
 
Elizabeth Thompson
