https and redirect for OWA doesn't work.

[Benjaminle]

I have problem with HTTPS and redirect to OWA. I already installed and configured HTTPS for my site. When type in

http://mail.mydomain.com,

I just received the error message saying that there is no access to the site instead of indicating that user must type in HTTPS. When I type in https:// my SSL is working properly. Just don't understand why the HTTPS error did not show up.

Secondly, when I created the redirect for OWA, so that when user type in

http://mail.mycomany.com,

IIS will redirect the user to

https://mail.myE2Kserver/exchange

or

https://mail.mydomain.com.

This worked perfectly fine on my LAN side but when people from outside typed in mail.mycompany.com, it does not redirect to HTTPS. Even when the user typed in

https://mail.ydomain.com,

it did not redirect to

https://mail.mydomain.com/Exchange.

Can someone help? My domain info is below.

I have 1 Exchange server. No front end.

SSL certificate was bought from Comodo.

For OWA redirect, under property of default website. One the Home Directory tab, checked on A Redirection to A URL. In Redirect to:

https://E2Kserver.domain.com/exchange.

And checked on A Directory Below This One.

Try to have someone from the outside type

https://your

external ip address/exchange. ex

https://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/exchange.

If this works then you have a DNS issue. You can have your outside people add a host record or have you MX record point to mail.nydomain.com
