RE: Connecting to my SBS Server from the Internet

Hi Bob:
Regarding this issue, I would still like to confirm some information with
you and provide some information about CEICW configuration.

I notice that after you changed some configuration in Directory Security
settings, access to RWW and OWA seems to work normally. Could you tell me
the previous configuration and how you made the change? We should make sure
that the same problem won't occur on other components. :-)

I would also like provide some information in regard to the CEICW
configuration.
To re-run CEICW Wizard, we can follow the steps below:

1. On the Small Business Server 2003 computer, click Start, and then click
Server Management.

2. Expand Standard Management, and then click To Do List.

3. In the right pane, click Connect to the Internet, and then click Next.

4. On the Connection Type page, click Do not change connection type, and
then click Next.

5. On the Firewall page, click Enable firewall, and then click Next.
Important: Do not click the Do not change firewall configuration option.

6. When you receive the following message, click OK:
To ensure the proper configuraton of ISA Server, existing custom packet
filters will be disabled. For information on how to re-enable existing
packet filters, see Small Business Server Help.

7. On the Services Configuration page, click to select the check boxes of
the additional services that you want to make available from the Internet,
and then click Next.

8. On the Web Services Configuration page, click Allow access to only the
following Web site services from the Internet, click to select the check
boxes of the services and of the Web sites that you want to make accessible
from the Internet, and then click Next.

9. On the Web Server Certificate page, click Create a new Web server
certificate, type the Small Business Server computer's fully qualified
domain name in the Web server name box, and then click Next.

Important: The fully qualified domain name that you type in the Web server
name box must be the same name that you use to connect to the Web site from
the Internet. For example, if the URL that you use to connect to a
Microsoft Outlook Web Access Web site is https://mail.contoso.com/exchange,
type mail.contoso.com in the Web server name box.

10. On the Internet E-mail page, click Do not change Internet e-mail
configuration, and then click Next.

11. On the Completing the Configure E-mail and Internet Connection Wizard
page, view the configuration information to make sure that it is correct,
and then click Finish.

I look forward to hearing from you. Please do let me know if the problem
has been resolved or anything is unclear, I am always standing by to help
you.

Have a nice day, Bob!

Best Regards
Edward Tian(MSFT)

| Thanks yoyr reply.
|
| 1. I have installed ISA 2004.
|
| 3. http://localhost/remote on server works.
|
| 4. I have run CEICW several times. My ISA 2004 Server Management Console
| looks different than you describe.
|
| I read other questions & replys and tried allowing access to default web
| site in Directory Security settings in Properities dialog box of Default
Web
| Site under IIS Manger Console and access for /remote and /exchange now
seems
| to work.
|
| If you have other suggestions or helpful please respond.
|
| Many Thanks for responding!
