I've got "old" exchange server 2003 on existing server with IIS (and Domain controller). Have added "new" exchange server and moved most mailboxes. Inside network, users on new server can open browser window and type old\exchange\ or new\exchange and get OWA window just fine (URL changes to new\exchange). All servers are running server 2003 SP2, both exchange servers running exchange 2003 sp2 in regular domain (not mixed).
From outside, user types mydomain.com\exchange and if user has mailbox on old server, all works fine. However, if user has mailbox on new server, after entering the username and password, the generic "the page cannot be displayed" page is displayed in the browser. Everything works fine up until the password is entered and user hits enter... (it knows if password or username is wrong and gives user opportunity to fix either, etc.).
I really want to see OWA working for the new server before I move the last few mailboxes to it (and the public folders, etc.,) before shutting down exchange on the old server. I'm a bit gun shy about moving the last couple of boxes and trying to decommission the old exchange without seeing OWA work first... (currently have big boss traveling and wouldn't want to lock him out.) Old server will continue as alternate DC and IIS server, just moving Exchange to dedicated server for exchange only.
Any ideas why it works fine inside but not outside for the users on new server, and how I can fix it?
Thanks
