dear andrew, many thanks for your great information, actually i heard about you and about some persons here in this list, who they are really give hand to others. i do not want to let you understand i am stupid guy or something. i am really understand how the exchange work. what i did is :- i asked the hosting company to transefer the domain name ( mmt-group.com) and i changed the MX recorde for me to be as the following :- mmt-group.com. 28800 in MX 10 mail.mmt-group.com where mail.mmt-group.com is pointing to this IP-Address ( 62.36.3.65 ) which i took from the ISP. so when ever any one send an e-mail to me , first the sender machine will ask the DNS where is the machine that dealing with ( mmt-group.com), and according to the DNS setting, the reply will be as the follows:- the machine which is responsible about the (mmt-group.com) is ( mail.mmt-group.com), which is ( 62.36.3.65), and then they will communicate with each other on Port 25 SMTP. this is what i understand and implement. but i want to ask you offline, so can you please accept my request to ask you offlist, for some critical information for me . i really need to discuss with you something, so please accept me to send e-mail to you offlist. best regards, Andrew English <andrew@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: v\:* {behavior:url(#default#VML);}o\:* {behavior:url(#default#VML);}w\:* {behavior:url(#default#VML);}.shape {behavior:url(#default#VML);}st1\:*{behavior:url(#default#ieooui) }http://www.MSExchange.org/ I don?t mean to sound rude but how in the world did you get an Senior IT job when you haven?t even grasp the works of Windows Server and the Internet? What you want to do is very simple, it doesn?t require all these questions if you know how the external domain name setup/configuration works, how IIS with Exchange and OWA works, and most importantly if you know how ISA 2000 Server works! Okay you want help. Get the company its own domain name in the net, then once you have your dedicated internet service, that being DSL, a T1 or whatever, as long as you get a STATIC IP, you simply point your domain name to your static IP address. To get OWA working a lot people use owa.domainname.com, so to do this you go to the person who is looking after your companies domain name and add in the A table (correct me if I am wrong) and added owa.yourdomain.com à your static IP and your done. The rest you have to do on your ISA server. To receive emails on your Exchange server simply point your MX table to your static IP and setup ISA 2000 to work with Exchange server, done. To use Outlook on the outside simple enable SMTP and POP3 if you want on you Exchange and setup ISA 2000, done. I don?t use SMTP and POP3 on my box, and a lot of companies here don?t do that as well so instead they setup a VPN connection and only let their employees VPN into the network to get their mail, I on the other hand us RPC over HTTP. --------------------------------- From: mmmopo errer [mailto:hatem20072008@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, May 19, 2005 7:26 AM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] OWA-Setup http://www.MSExchange.org/ DEAR ALL, i made my network as the following :- 1.one ( DC) win Advanced server 2000 2.one exchange server 2000 - enterprise edition-. 3.one ISA server 2000, enterprise edition. 4. 25 Clients with WinXP-Pro SP1 My domain name is hosted in USA, CIHOST Company, and the E-mail Also, i have the user name & Password for the Administrator website to my E-mail to add user or delete user. before we add exchange 2000 server, i was configure all of my client to use OUTLOOK 2003 and configured for them POP3 account for the E-mail, to let them send & receive E-mails. but after i bring exchange 2000, i am using GFI -POP3 downloadear installed on exchange 2000 and its connect to my server in USA and get all of the E-mails for the user and then distributed them back . iam using Dial UP. no static IP-Address for the server , no special configuration , and every thing is working more than fine. but i have a planning . ===================================================== The Plan is:- i want to change the DNS settings for my E-mail & my domain, so instaed of hosted it with this company, i get one good connection to MY ISP like Leased Line 512, and i will get 4 IP- Address ( Real IP-Address) , and i will change the setup, so when any one send e-mail to me ( ah@xxxxxxxx) , it will come to me directly . this is no Problem to it. ===================================================== Now i want to establish Outlook Web Access for all users here in my company. i do not have any website at all. i have only one exchange server 2000 and installed on it IIS and no any special configuration has been done. only the things has been done in IIS was for SMTP Connector . what i know is :- but i need it to be accesible to the out side users . so any one in UK or in USA, he will type only in the Web Browser the following :- http:// mail.mmt-group.com and it should work. ===================================================================== so the Plan is :- 1. change the DNS settings to make my e-mails come to me directly instaed of sending it to the CIHOST and then let my exchange server connect to it through POP3 Downloader. 2- delete the POP3 Downloader from my exchange server and it will work fine . but still for the OWA , i want to make for the OUTSIDE- so what i know is :- i will ask the ISP to Park this sub-domain for me which is ( mail) , and then i will ask him to give me the Static-IP Address & the DNS settings , and then i will install windows advanced server 2000 on this machine & then i will name it ( Mail ) and then i will give it the static -IP-address which i took from the ISP, and it will be accesible for the internet user . ( Note without security). but what should i install on it, should i install exchange 2000 again? or , should i install IIS only ? So Please guide me , or send me URL , OR PDF file for the steps which should i follow in order to work. many thanks for your help __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
