Hi Ruba,

The BE/FE deployment was designed to accomplish two things:
1 - allow the Exch admin to create a "security zone" between the
Internet and Intranet sides of Exch
2 - allow the Exch admin to "spread the load" for different Exch
functions across multiple machines.

Since ISA pretty much obviates the need for a DMZ, you don't need the
FE/BE deployment for security reasons.
Unless you can show that the Exch FE/BE combination is overloaded,
there's no need to separate them.

IOW, if it works, LITFA...

When publishing exchange 2003 (OWA and SMTP) through ISA2004 with an
SSL, is it better to use FE and BE configuration or is it as secure as
using ISA2004 with BE directly without having FE?

 

Thanks,
