I have istalled IIS 4.0 on my backup exchange server and have enabled the HTTP Protocol on the server side. When I type http//..com/exchange on the browser (IE 5.5) I don not get anything. Is there something that I am overseeing and configuring correctly?

Thanks,
Paulo

Do you get anything if you type http://[servername].company.com? This will let you know if your IIS install is working. Then, if IIS is working OK, in order to get to Exchange, you have to install Outlook Web Access as well on this server. If youdon't see an Exchange folder listed in your web site, then OWA is not installed. OWA is part of the Exchange install; if it's not installed, rerun Echange setup from the CD and select Add and then select Outlook Web Access to be added. After doing this, rerun the Exchange service pack - to get the best performance and usage out of OWA you should be on Exchange SP4 and WINNT SP6a. Hope this helps!

PS - I think the above gives you the impression that you have to have OWA installed on the IIS server - this is not true, but it has to be installed either on the IIS server or on the Exchange server. But in either case, IIS has to know where OWA is in order to connect to it. So, if OWA is installed on your Exchange server, you have to add a folder on your IIS server and point it to the location on the Exchange server for the OWA folders, so that user can access OWA through IIS.

If you have OWA & IIS installed on the exchange server all that you need as the url is http:///exchange
