RE: Exchange Errors and RWW



Hi King,

Thanks for posting in our newsgroup.

From your description, I know that you disable all msexchange services but
still get Exchange error. You can visit https://FQDN/remote but cannot
visit http://FQDN/remote. If I am off-base, please don't hesitate to let me
know.

First of all, Exchange is a fundamental component of SBS, it's not
recommended to disable Exchange services. In addition, many tasks and
wizards are tightly integrated with Exchange, If you disable Exchange,
something unexpected may happen. Please start these services and then check
if the error will reappear. If that reappears, please understand that our
newsgroup is an issue based service, meaning we usually respond to one
question/issue per post. This will lessen the confusion for both of us, as
well as ensure that our results are accurate and not a result of a test for
a different question. Therefore, it is recommended you create a new thread
so that the dedicated MS engineer can help you on it. Thank you for your
understanding!

For the issue about RWW, please let me know the following information to
make the situation more clearly:

1. Where do you visit RWW, from Internet or LAN?

Please take the following steps to see if the problem can be resolved:

Step 1: Have you rerun the CEICW wizard the installation, the tool makes us
to publish the RWW to Internet Successfully.

To do this:
1. Click Start, click Server Management. Click To Do List and then click
"Connect to the Internet". Click Next, and go through the Internet option.
2. Select Enable firewall and click Next. Click the service you want to
publish.
3. On the Web Services Configuration page shows, make sure that "Remote
Work Website" is selected. Click Next.
4. On the Web Server Certificate page shows. Select "Create a new Web
server certificate", and type your FQDN (mail.domain.com) in the "Web
server name" text box. Click Next.

IMPORTANT: The FQDN 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 the RWW is
https://server.contoso.com/remote, type "server.contoso.com" (without the
quotation marks) in the "Web server name" box. If you use
http://ipaddress/remote to access RWW, type the public IP address in the
"Web server name".

5. Go through the steps to finish the wizard.

Step 2: The problem occurs when the SBSFLT ISAPI filter is missing. To
resolve the issue, follow the steps below:

Note: When you visit the OWA, Remote User Portal, Performance and Usage
Report from Internet SSL is always required. This is by design. The
sbsflt.dll is used to redirect all incoming RWW requests from HTTP to HTTPS
.
