Re: Move OWA onto different website

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Apologies if the above post did appear a bit snappy. That was not my
intention. I do realise the security risks but unfortuneatly I'm not in a
position to rectify them as yet. Hopefully one day I will be able to.

Hi Cris,
Thanks for the reply.
In an ideal world where I didn't have to worry about purchasing such
infrastructure and licenses. I most certainly would have more servers.
Unfortunately the Stirling SES whom this server belongs to is a volunteer
emergency service organisation. We're lucky as it is to have 1 server never
mind building another server, installing windows XP or 2003 or 2008 on that
and providing hosting services. Unless of course Microsoft is happy with me
using my technet subscription in a production environment. So at the moment
no I cannot be overly security concious.

truth is hosting your public facing website on your SBS server is very insecure situation
You are opening your business network to being attacked/hijacked/corrupted...what have you.
Host your website with some nationally know hosting company, or take a PC, put IIS6 (or 7) on it and stick it in the DMZ of your firewall if you must, but don't put it on the SBS server

Hi,

I have a fresh install of SBS 2003 R2, and this afternoon will be running
through the final setup wizzard.
Prior to doing all this I was trying to seperate the default website and the
OWA site, in some way.
I've tried modifying the hostheader for the default site to "remote" with
external IP and HTTP as 80 and HTTPS 443 however when I created another site
with the hostheader value of "www" using the external IP and 80 as the port
it came up with an error that it is not unique.
Now that I have a fresh install of Small Business server with IIS on it I
would like some assistance changing it so that the default webpage is
accessed as normal via www.stirlingses.org.au but to access exchange you have
to go https://remote.stirlingses.org.au/exchange.
http://remote.stirlingses.org.au can have a menu linking to exchange, RWW,
etc.
There are only 2 extra websites currently installed for Symantec endpoint
protection. These however have never interfered with anything and are on
unique ports.

Many thanks,
