So let me get this straight, with the test front end I installed:
1. Without any further configuration I should see the default owa login
page?
2. Without any further config I should be redirected to the BE server
automatically?
So then how come on both my FE servers, the OWA login page is not displayed
by default? I had to first follow these instructions on the one FE test
server to see the page:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;555053
Some additional info that might be causing this is that I never specified
the FE as an FE server or the BE as a BE server. I only modified some
registry settings that allows certain ports on certain servers to be used. I
couldnt get RPC-HTTP to work any other way!
