Port 80 already in use, what should I use for OWA

[TechCarnivore]

Hi Gang,
We have two servers. A Small Business Server 2003 system and a Server 2003 system. Both are apart of different domains and not related except for the fact that they sit on the same network.

This second server is running a web application and occupies port 80 on our router.

I'd like to configure Outlook Web Access on our Small Business Server, but can I use a different port (Other than 80) since that's already in use? I'm guessing so but could use some assistance.

set up a subdomain and host header would be simplest

or you can use just about any port you like above 1024.

A list of the "well known ports" is at;

To add on to what Hirst is saying about host headers, you should also run OWA on SSL port 443 not 80.
Here is how to setup SSL on OWA.

And on top of that I setup my config so that external sites such as OWA and ActiveSync (possibly also Autodiscover/OAB etc.) are in a seperate site.

If you are using Exchange 2007 and have a different domain inside your network compared to outside and wish to use SSL please take a look at my FAQ on the Exchange 2007 forum.

Good Luck,



Steve.

I thought I was supposed to forward TCP 80 and TCP 443 to the server hosting OWA? Is this correct?
