I took out rpc over http, and am using mapi, but i still dont
remember how i can create a public folder that everyone can see and
add to it.



Create it in Outlook. If you're connected directly to your server,
and are logged in using an account that has permissions, you can
just create your PFs in the Public Folders\All Public Folders tree.


Ok, so as administrator, i can log in and create the folders
directly. I would have to create the profile in one of the computers,
which is a non issue. Hopefully i can get the global address list
that way.


Not sure what you mean by that. This is not part of the global address list ...& won't be. It *can* be used as an Address Book in Outlook, though, if everyone adds it as such.


Will let you know.


Id like to have a global address list with contacts which are set up
on the public folder.



Yep....but users will have to manually add it as an address book in
Outlook, note.


Could they just copy and paste their contacts directly into the public
folder contacts? for some reason i thought it could be done in the
past.



They can just select, right-click/hold, drag, release, and choose Copy.

Again, i havent worked on exchange for a while,
so am quite rusty. your help is greatly appreciated.



No worries.


In terms of the DFS, i have it set up so both servers have the same
folders on dfs, but i dont know if i need to set them up on both
servers, or just one. In other words, have the source and target
folders in one server set up to replicate, or do the source and
target folders on both servers to replicate.



Not an Exchange question - I'd post in one for AD/Windows Networking.


In terms of owa, i have the exchange icon on IIS, but i am not sure
if i have it set up correctly, since when i try to http to the
domain, i get error 404, both internally and externally.


http://servername/exchange? 

when i try this link i get the following message:
The page must be viewed over a secure channel
The page you are trying to access is secured with Secure Sockets Layer
(SSL).
When i put https://servername/exchange, i get the OWA screen no
problems. So internally, it seems to work. But the question is, how to
get it to work from outside.


Open up TCP port 443/forward it to your server's LAN IP, in your firewall/router. then use
https://mypublicIP/exchange or https://my.company.com/exchange if you've set up the appropriate host / A record in your public DNS.

Ok, i have a linksys router. Not sure which tab to go to. I have the dynamic routing, static routing, dmz host, and forwarding tab. Do i just go to the forwarding tab, and open up that port, and send it to the lan ip of the server. Or do i use upnp forwarding, or port trigerring. Kinda confused on what you wrote, but im going to put it in the forwarding tab, and opening port 443 and see what happens. I just tried it, and somehow it works. It asks me about the certificate which i created in the server, and then when i accept i get the outlook web access. If i want to change anything, i can do so from the server, but now i know that it works. Thank you so much. :)

Now the only problem left unsolved is the DFS issue, which i will post in the appropriate newsgroup.


From the server itself, http://localhost/exchange? 

when i try this link i get the following message:
The page must be viewed over a secure channel
The page you are trying to access is secured with Secure Sockets Layer
(SSL).
When i put https://localhost/exchange, i get the OWA screen no
problems. So it seems to work. But the question is, how to get it to
work from outside.

If i type https and the domain name mail.burgertrailor.com/exchange i
get the error "operation timed out" or
www.burgertrailor.com/exchange, i get a "connection was refused"
error.


Well, I doubt you'd be using that - should be the full DNS name from the outside.

If i type http and the domain name mail.burgertrailor.com/exchange i
get the error "operation timed out" or
www.burgertrailor.com/exchange, i get a "404 not found" error.

What am i missing, i know its got to be something simple and stupid. 


Public DNS entry missing or mistyped?


thanks for the help. 


In terms of the ip's, the register.com site has our external ip of
our server as the mail server, and the dns records of bellsouth as
our dns. (it used to be the mail server AT bellsouth before).



Still not sure what you mean. If you don't mind posting your domain
name, perhaps someone can help....


sure, the domain name of my client is www.burgertrailor.com
their domain expired and when they renewed it, the
mail.burgertrailor.com ip is that of the ip of our wan and that is
what shows on the whois database at register.com (their renewal site)


Thanks for the help.
