I need to install Outlook Web Access on a stand-alone server to support a wireless e-mail application. I have Small Business Server 4.5 installation. How can I get Outlook Web Access (a redistributable component per license agreement) installed alone on a separate server. The Exchange installation on the SBS 4.5 CD opens with an error message you can only install exchange on Small Business Server.

The version of Exchange that comes with SBS does not run on a standalone server. It has to run on the SBS itself.

If you want to run Exchange and OWA on a separate server you have to License the regular version of Exchange to install on the standlone server.

Section 2(e) of the End User License Agreement for Microsoft Backoffice Small Business Server Version 4.5 where it states "Note on Outlook Web Access Software. You may customize, reproduce and distribute the Outlook Web Access Software ("OWA Software")

The Exchange Setup program has been modified to prevent breaches of the EULA with respect to Exchange itself. Unfortunately, this means you can't use the SBS Exchange CD on any other machine.

So it won't install OWA anywhere else, just as you can't use this CD to install Exchange Administrator onto a workstation. It just doesn't work, EULA notwithstanding.

You will have to copy the relevant files, register the relevant components and build the web site by hand. Or find a standard Exchange 5.5 CD.

Note also that this is less secure than normal, because of the limitation of IIS not being able to use NTLM authentication across a network.
