Hi AJ

The wonderful thing about these NGs is that someone else
has had your problem. Here is the answer frm Chad that
fixed me. In addition to his answer there is a Destination
set for OWA above the RWW which you must fix also.

Hi Frank -

ISA uses Web Publishing to make RWW accessible, and web
publishing depends on destination sets. When you run the
CEICW and create your SSL cert, SBS uses the value you
enter to create the destination set for RWW publishing.
As a result, if you used your FQDN when you created the
SSL cert, the destination set will be created with the
FQDN (and only the FQDN). If you don't have a destination
set for the URL that you're using to access a site
(RWW), then ISA isn't going to allow the traffic.

So, what you need to do is to edit your destination set to
include your IP addy . . .

Open ISA Management and navigate to Servers & Arrays |
<servername> | Policy Elements | Destination Sets

Open the "Small Business RUP Destination Set", on the
Destinations tab, click Add to add your IP. You'll need
to do this twice, once with "/Remote/*" as the path, and
once with "/ClientHelp/*" as the path. Once
you've added these two entries with your public IP to the
destination set, you should be good to go!

***** Add from Frank Then go to OWA set and fix three
there.
