I had one Problem when I tried to access OWA through the http proxy.
This does not work. You have to define an exception on your IE Client to connect directly to your Exchange Server. There is an Knowledgebase Entry on the MS Site regarding Proxys and OWA.
on a single server installation (w2k + iis5.0 + exchange 5.5) everything works great. I load http://192.1.1.1 which loads default.htm and goes to http://192.1.1.1/exchange/logon.asp which then loads the nice Outlook Web Access page.
however on a dedicated IIs Server (in the same domain and on the same network segment w2k + IIs5.0) I cant seem to get a connection.
I set up the dedicated IIs with the same configuration as the single server, with the exception of the PATH. as path i have "\server\directory" where the directory is free for all to access.
I setup a virtual directory call "exchange" which points to the web directory.
I then browsed the network using explorer and could reach everything exactly as it should be. \microsoft network\domain\exchange server\virtual directory\logon.asp
not being the scripting master, i am obviously missing something. a pointer or what do i know.
After I get a solid connection with 2 servers i would like to setup the following:
Goal: i want to put a IIs Server in our DMZ which will allow ANY to connect. and then that server SHOULD (after modifying the Exchange Server Registry for the ports) be allowed to access the internal network. I am not thrilled about allowing "ANY" to access the internal network for OWA. My Goal looks like this on one ASL with 3 Interfaces:
where only the OWA server is allowed to pass the Directory Info and Information Store Info (2 ports free to configure) to the Exchange Server on the internal network.

When running OWA on a separate server form Exhcnage you must use clear text authentication. to the IIS Server. Users will need to logon using the domain\username syntax.
Also your IIS Server will need to be in the same domain as you exchange server or have a trust built between two domains.
