All,

Could anyone tell me whether it's possible to entirely disable IIS and
not impact other Exchange 2003 operations please? I'm considering
disabling the 'WWW Publishing' and 'IIS Admin' services so that the
server is no longer listening on port 80.

I'm running Cisco Unity Voicemail, with a single Exchange 2003 SP2
server, so there's no need to offer OWA as users themselves never
login to a mailbox.

Many thanks

James.

I would leave it be. What's the harm? It's very useful for testing.

You can block access to it from the internert entirely (and you'd never want
to have port 80 open to your Exchange server anyway). You can also disable
OWA access per mailbox.

I wouldn't mess around with IIS.
