  • 1. Do I need to use ADC??
    We currently have Exchange 5.5 running on a W2K member server in an NT 4 domain. We will soon be migrating to a W2K3 AD domain; we do not plan on upgrading Exchange and will eventually move to another product. Will I need ADC for the short time that we will have 5.5 in the 2003 AD domain? I've read that it is necessary if you plan to upgrade, but as I said we won't be....thanks.
  • 2. Sub Domain MX Access
    I currently have mail coming into network A - @mail.com with proper mx and dns entries. I would like a subdomain @test.mail.com to deliver smtp traffic to network B. Network A and B have no connectivity between them. I don't think that I can just point test.mail.com to server test's ip in dns and have smtp flow there... I am thinking that I have to do some kind of forward from the mail server of network A to reach network B. Has anyone done this so that XXXX@XXXXX.COM gets passed to network A and not B? Thanks
  • 3. SMTP server
    Hi All, Was wondering if someone could give me a hand with a problem I'm having on our companies Windows 2003 SBE exchange server. We have a dynamic ADSL service and subscribe to Dynu for a dynamic DNS mapping service. Exchange server is running our domains pop3 and SMTP service for the company and work excellent. The problem is that most other ISPs or companies mail servers today are not expecting mail for companies like ours because we use dynamic IP address and they block through sorbs.net. , So mail comes back undeliverable. I was wondering if some one has had similar issues or can help me if possible config the server to forward our outgoing SMTP mail in exchange directly to our ISPs mail server and then it will send the mail. I know that we could setup a pop3/internet mail account on my users systems and add my ISPs SMTP server as the outgoing mail server but I would rather do it in all within exchange if possible. As a temporary solution on some system I did setup the internet/pop3 account on outlook 2004 so they send outing mail, weird thing now is that our users is getting incoming mail messages 2 or 3 times, because system checks pop3 and then exchange. We need exchange for internal calendar sharing and contacts. Please help Thanks, any help would be appreciated. Matt XXXX@XXXXX.COM
  • 4. Moving to a new server
    We are in the process of upgrading one of our clients running NT4 and Exchange 5.5 to a brand new SBS 2003 server. The old server will be de-commissoned and removed. Can anyone help with any tips/ideas on how we can achieve this with a minimum amount of problems?

party) Any events logged etc?

I've tried with the Front-end server configued for forms-based auth,
back-end server was not configured for forms-based auth. The certificate is
an external (Thawte) certificate. Everything works when NOT using
forms-based auth, and forms-based auth works when it is just the front-end
server.

Thanks

1.Exchange 2003 FE/BE Forms-based auth

For some reason I cannot get forms-based authentication to work in an
Exchange 2003 FE/BE configuration. I have enabled forms based auth on
the front-end server, but get the following:

440 Login Timeout

Any ideas?

Thanks

2.OWA 2003 FE Servers and Forms Based Auth

Does OWA 2003 using forms-based authentication require server affinity?

We started using a second Front-End Server and have some users calling they 
are being prompted for username and password when they didn't expect to be.

We are using Round-Robin dns method for load balancing.

If you could point me to a resource and tell me if you found this documented.

Also if you have any feedback on using WNLB - Windows Network Load Balancing 
method I would appreciate.

Thanks,
Mark

3.Form Based Auth, Form Not Working

Hello,

I have an issue with my form for "Form Based Login."  I have the certificate
installed and everything works just fine for OWA, not using forms.  As soon
as I enable it, I get "Page Can't Be Displayed" errors.  When I drilled
down to look at the actual page, the icon was the "Windows" logo, shouldn't
it be something else?  (Not sure if that helps anyone, or even if it's part
of the problem..thought I'd add it anyhow)

Has anyone had issues like this?  Again, OWA works great, but the form won't
come up.

4.Firefox with Exchange 2003 OWA and Forms-Based Auth

I've run into an interesting issue that I'm hoping other people have seen
and have a solution for. We've recently upgraded to Exchange 2003 SP1 (on
W2K server with SP4 plus fixes) and set up forms-based authentication.
Everything works great except when users come to the site using Firefox (I
know, the easy solution is to tell them to use IE or Mozilla). Every page
they go to for the first time prompts them with the grey authentication
dialog box (even the pages that are set up with anonymous security like the
login form). The only way to make it go away is to hit "Cancel". Trying to
login in doesn't work. It is very annoying and makes OWA a major annoyance.
Anyone seen this and have any foresight?


5.Entourage not downloading calendar or contacts after upgrade to Exchange 2003 and forms based auth

FYI to anyone else having this problem: We got a preview copy of
Office 2004 for the Mac from Microsoft.

Entourage 2004 now supports forms-based authentication on the Outlook
Web Access server.  Woohoo!  I am still unable to find any
documentation on Microsoft's site about this problem or confirming
that they have fixed it, but I have tested Entourage 2004 with
forms-based auth turned on on our OWA server, and the calendar and
contacts now synchronize properly.

Also, I noticed that authenticated smtp works now, too.  Strangely,
they've changed the settings so that you can no longer specify an smtp
server that is different from your imap/webdav server.  That's okay in
our case, but may not be for other folks.

Also, according to Apple, Office 2004 requires Mac OS 10.2.8 or
higher.  And the upgrade from 10.1 to 10.2 is not free.  However,
considering how much better Entourage 2004 seems to be working, I
would say that it's worth it.
