Ok Guys.
I need all the tips, secrets, and any online resources for setting up Outlook web access for my company.

Our exchange server has two NICS. One for internal use, and the other is hooked up to the DSL. I intend to install OWA on the same machine. There should not be more than 5-10 users connecting at any one time. How wise is this? Will this be very processor intensive?

Is a firewall necessary? Anyone not using a firewall have any problems?

Any help appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

First of all, I would most definately use a firewall. Make sure you have one installed and working properly. If anything, this is the important or wisest step to do first. (Well, I think so ).

The one outside NIC connected to the DSL line would have a real IP, where as the internal one would have your "internal" IP address. Do nto enable routing between the two. Use your firewall software to translate your outside IP to your inside IP.

As for OWA, that shouldn't be a problem. Make sureNT is installed with the latest SP's. And also make sure IIS4 is installed with Active Service Pages as well. (ASP is found on SP3's CD if you have one)

Then you should be able to install OWA from the Exchange CD.

Hope this helps.

Yes, just to be on the safe side, don't make your Exchange server a proxy/firewall. Setup a seperate machine outside the firewall in your DMZ as an OWA server.
