OWA and IIS Help 1

[deklin]

I am currently running Exchange 2000 Enterprise. My owa is loaded on my exchange server along with IIS. IIS' only function on the exchange server is OWA. Right now I need to type the following URL to access my webmail.....owa.mydomain.com/exchange. How do I make the exchange website the default so all i need to enter is owa.mydomain.com?

THanks a lot

Deklin,

Perform these steps.

1. In IIS Manager, right click "Default Web Site" & click "Properties".
2. Click "Home Directory" tab.
3. At the top, click "A redirection to a URL".
4. Enter "/exchange" (no quotes) in the "Reditect to:" text box.
5. Click the "A directory below URL entered" check box.
6. Click OK, then restart the

http://WWW service

(probably not necessary, but just to be safe).

Thanks shawn...it worked.

Right now my owa is setup that when a user types in owa.mydomain.com a login dialogue box apprears. I know there is a way i can setup a web page where a user can enter their user id and password. It's also my understanding that this web page can be customized. any recommendations on setting this up?
