Hello,
I have a Sharepoint Service 3.0 project that I am currently designing. I am having diffculty with the Exchange/Sharepoint integration piece.
Let me explain my scenario:
We are currently using Windows 2003 Active Directory environment. We have a trusted network, a DMZ and of course the internet. we have a registered company address of company.net (as example) and an internal trusted AD namespace of company.local. We also have company.net DNS entries to allow us to talk to a linux server in our DMZ currently that is configured as server.company.net.
What we are planning is to purchase a new server and stick it in the DMZ. Set up a separate AD forest and domain and create a one-way trust to the internal trusted forest/domain to enable windows authentication from users and partners who are external to the firewall as well as internal on the company LAN. We will be using wildcard SSL and allowing basic authentication (with SSL) for the external users. Internal users will use NTLM or Kerberos.
Now my question:
I am having difficulty nailing down what is required to integrate our internal Exchange server to be able to receive email externally for the new sharepoint server which will sit in our DMZ. I am also confused as to what namespace we should have for the sharepoint server's AD domain. Currently I was planning on making it a *.company.net AD domain but am not quite sure whether this will work when relaying the emails properly from the internal exchange server (company.local / company.net) to the sharepoint server in the DMZ (considering they are different forests and domains)? We want to make it so that if internal users send email through outlook and external users send email to company.net all will route correctly and get to the sharepoint server in the DMZ thru the exchange server hosted in the trusted network.
Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.
