Hi
I have a small network with an ISA 2000 firewall and two 2003 servers and
domain controllers both behind.
Isa is a member server to the domain.
I managed to setup exchange 2003 with OWA through SSL and pop3 for external
users without VPN connections.
After installing Exchange 2003 to the second Domain controller I noticed
that users that have their mailboxes to this second server cannot connect to
OWA and pop3 with their acccounts.Users with mailboxes to the first Exchange
2003 fuction correctly as they were.
As I setup the first exchange as a front end server all users can connect
with OWA and POP.
Can anyone help me about the configuration without front end server .Why in
the first configuration users cannot connect to their mailboxes?

I'm reading this as if you want to have two servers holding mailboxes
but one of those is to be an FE? If that's not right then you need to
clarify a little....

Your FE cannot be a mailbox or PF server.
You must SSL to the FE and leave SSL off the BE.
You must remember to enable and start the POP/IMAP services on the BE
as well as the FE.

THere are obviously more, but I need to clarify a little on what you
have done and where all the mailboxes are...

Thank you very much for answering.
I think I confused you.
In the first case I have a FE and BE server in the same domain.All mailboxes
are in the BE .Both servers are domain controllers.All servers are behind an
ISA 2000.SSL and IIS are configured on the FE server.Both servers are in the
same site.Both servers are DNS and manage the same Active Intergrated zone.
In this case everything worgks fine .

In the second case I do not want to use a FE. I want both servers to have
their own mailboxes.Nothing else changes from previous configuration.In this
case users that have their mailboxes to the server that is no published with
isa cannot connect to OWA neither as IMAP clients.The funny think is that OMA
works in both cases.

My basic question... Is it possible for Exchange to route (in a way) users
request to the right server where each users mailbox is?

In your case no. From the outside you need an FE to handle and direct
the requests otherwise you need to publish two URL's
Odd that you say OMA works.

Thank you again.OMA really works I have just checked it.
Is it the same about IMAP and POP3 clients?Do I have to use two different
URLs for each server?
You have been very helpfull already.
