OWA

[Ybnorml]

I have Exchange 5.5 and NT 4. I have IIS 3.0 installed too. I'm wondering about OWA. I'd like to see if I could make it usable by the users. I'm just not sure if everything I need is loaded, how to allow logins, etc. The web svc is running, and I can browse to the same domain name my mx record is. I just can't do

http://exchange.domain.com.

I can even go to

http://my_mx_record/iisadmin.

I just haven't found the right material to read up on yet and would like to know how to go about getting this off the ground.

I appreciate the help!!

Greg,

Don't know about IIS3.0. I am sure you could find IIS4 (much better product). But it's very simple. If IIS is on the same as the exchange you could use NT challenge response and anonymouse access. If they are not on the same server, you need to use Basic Authentication (clear text).

You also need to specify the domain your users are connecting from. The syntax is

http://server_name/exchange

Try it by IP first i.e 10.10.10.10/exchange
If all works well you can finaly try by fully qualified name. i.e. home.yourcompany.com/exchange. There are few more steps to be able to get the last part working.

If you have problem connecting users, use //domain/user.

Hope this helps.

IIS 3.0 does not have the OWA feature. You need IIS4, it's free on the NT 4.0 Option pack. You will also need; Http installed in Exchange, at least SP3 ( they reccommend SP4 ) and Java support installed in IIS. Then the features will be installed where they belong.


P.S. if they are not on the same server you will need the original Exchange CD and more configuring, to do.

After digging through books and all yesterday, I found that I didn't have ASP installed. From what I understand, it's included in IIS 4.0. I downloaded the Option Pack last night so maybe later today I'll be in better shape!

Thanks for the replies! [sig][/sig]
