I have an win2000 server with IIS setup to host Outlook web access. I want the users to use an url like webmail.company.com but the www.company.com is hosted on a SEPERATE web server that does not have OWA installed. How do I setup my dedicated web server to use webmail.company.com/exchange for outside email access? Is it a dns issue or host header.
THANKS

There is only two ways to do this.

1. Install Exchange Enterprise Edition on the webserver and under exchange system manager, right click the server, properties, select "front end" option. This will allow your web server to pass /exchange request to your internal exchange server.

*** remove any spaces in the link ***

2. Considering that number one is a little expensive, from your firewall assign a seperate public IP address to the OWA server. Open up port 80 mapping this address to the mail server. Ask your ISP to create the webmail.company.com host name to point to this new address.

Sorry to say, but those are the only options.
