    Exchange 2k3 OWA FE/BE

    I need some major help. Our regular exchange 2k3 mail server (S1) has just
    about died. I've moved all the M boxes over to another server (S2) that has
    more power for the job. I'm using S2 for the backend now and whating to use
    S1 for the front end. Mail is working great if your on the inside network;
    but if you try to use the OWA I keep getting HTTP Error 404 even after I
    supply username and password. If I login to S2 (using IIS) I can browse and
    receive OWA fine. Any help would be great.

    You only get the error if you try to access from the outside?
    See if this article can help you:
    "HTTP 401 or 404 error messages when you access OWA implicitly or
    explicitly"

    Sorry, I guess I forgot to say that if I'm on S1 using IIS and browse the
    exchange Virtual Directory, I get the HTTP 401 Error as well as if I'm on the
    outside trying to get in.

    Thanks for the reply, but I've already completed those steps and still
    receiving the message.

    Let me ask you just one thing: did you explicitly configure S1 to be a
    front-end, by going to server properties and putting a mark on the option
    "This is a front-end server"?
    How do you access the servers from the outside? Do you have firewalls? How
    many?
    Can you access S2 from the outside?
