Re: OWA Issues w/ small Bus. 2003 server

John,
I ran the wizard again and wanted to show you my settings :
Connection type: broadband connection using a local router device with an
IP address
Router connection information:
Local IP address of the router: 192.168.1.1
Preferred DNS server: 205.152.132.254
Alternate DNS server: 205.152.0.20

(the wizard asked for my routers' dns settings, i specified my ISP dns even
though my sbs 2003
is using it own IP for dns - hope this was correct)

The firewall on your computer running Small Business Server could not be
configured.

NOTES: I AM USING A CISCO PIX SO I DID NOT USE THE SBS FIREWALL :

You must configure a firewall to secure your local network from the
Internet. For more information about configuring firewall settings for your
Small Business Server network, see Help and Support.
Web services on your server's default Web site to be available through the
firewall to users on the Internet:
Outlook Web Access
Outlook via the Internet

Do not change current Web server certificate
Email: Enable Exchange for Internet e-mail with the following settings:
E-mail delivery:
Route e-mail to the Internet by using DNS.
E-mail retrieval:
Use Exchange to retrieve SMTP e-mail.
Email retrieval method:
Route e-mail from the Internet directly to Exchange.
Registered Internet e-mail domain name: abc.com.
E-mail attachments: Remove e-mail attachments from Internet e-mail as
specified in the wizard.

Like i said earlier- email is working fine just can't seem to get OWA to
open from the outside.

Nope, you can run it again with no issue. Pay particular attention to the
single or double network adapter screen where it asks you how you are
connected to the internet. Make sure its correct. Please post back after
you have done so with your findings.

John,
Pretty sure I did but can't swear on it. Email is working fine, clients
are
using outlook 2003 . Just OWA does not work when trying to connect from
off-site.

Can i run the sbs mail / internet wizard again, will this mess-up anything
i
already have -

thanks.

Did you run the Internet and Mail Wizard on the SBS 2003 Server? Very
important you run this to configure the adapter settings, mail settings,
etc.

Ben,
when i say "outside" i 'm stating a user for example or myself who is
working from another location or home trying to connect. i do have an
A
Record pointing to their FQDN but i have tried the IP/Exchange too .
All i
get is : this page cannot be displayed -

Like i said earlier, i can bring-up their default web site by typing :
http://IP
so i know my Pix is allowing HTTP traffic through. I even had cisco
connect
remotely to ensure the config i applied is correct ., e.g, forwarding
the
http traffic internally to my servers' IP . - 192.168.x.x.

I've done this a hundred times using windows 2003 server / exchange
server
and had no problems with OWA - I just started working with small bus.
2003
and frankly- don't care for it too much right now.

thanks.

Can you explain what "trying from the outside" exactly means?

Are you attempting to use the FQDN of the server? (won't work unless
it
exists in public DNS and is mapped to the external IP of your PIX).

What happens when you type in http://ip address/exchange?

Hope someone can help me out with this problem -
Over the weekend I installed small bus. 2003 server behind a pix
firewall
,
single server installation.

i've setup my pix to forward the http request for OWA over to my
internal
IP
of the server but cannot get OWA to open from outside the network. I
can
access OWA from inside - no problem.

whey trying from the outside - i get the : page cannot be displayed
using
I.E .

however, i can type : Http://IP address
and get the : WELCOME TO SMALL BUSINESS SERVER 2003 PAGE
Which has the - My company's internal web site and
Network configuration wizard tasks.

I checked in IIS Manager/ Directory security Tab and made sure that
SSL
is
not required - I've never had a problem before with OWA when
running
on
exchange 2003 Server using standard edition server but this is the
first
time
in awhile i've setup small bus. 2003.

Wanted to see if Small bus. 2003 server has any special permissions
that i
may have forgot to set to enable OWA

THANKS,
