Hi John,

I have everything configured pretty much as you describe except the DNSs in the 
External NIC of ISA.  Mine are not blank but contain External DNSs... and 
everything works fine.  What is the advantage of having these blank?  

Thanks,
Kelli

There is a big part of your problem, DNS.

Any computer on an internal network that is part of a AD domain MUST have as
its DNS servers the internal DNS server ONLY. This includes the Exchange
server and the Internal NIC of ISA. The External NIC of ISA should have the
DNS server configuration blank.
