Marcel,
Thanks. I did not state in my post that the OWA URL is to the front-end
server only.
Robert

Ho Robert,
The entire idea of a front end server is that the user connects to the front
end and that the front end connects to the back end server.
This said the reality is the same. The user uses OWA or outlook to connect to
the front end server on the LAN. The front end server connects to the back end
server where the mailbox stores are and you're up and running. If OWA is
running on the same machine as the front end (In most cases this is true) then
you could say that OWA is directly connecting to the mailbox store on the back
end, but the true connection is still on the front end server and the user
running the webclient to access OWA is never in direct contact with the mailbox
store on the back end server.
Hope this helps,
Marcel

Onderwerp: Soka|connections with OWA|LAN vs Internet
Hello All,
A co-worker, the current Exchange admin, has stated that when the OWA client
is used on our LAN that it establishes a connection directly to the mailbox
store (as does Outlook) as well as to the front end server, and therefore the
OWA should not be used as mail client on our LAN. When I use NETSTAT and
Exchange System Manager's log in's for mailbox store, I can not see this taking
place. It appears that when using the OWA mail client on the LAN, the front
end server brokers access to the mail store on your behalf, and no other
connection is made to the mailbox store.
We are running Exchange 2003/Windows Server 2003. We have a front end server
(OWA server) and back end server with mail stores.
As a newbie Exchange person, your seasoned observations and comments are
welcome.
Thanks, Robert
