Of course, the perf requirements for a properly configured FE server are minimal. I don't think we're saying it won't work, just don't expect to call MS for help on it (yet). I'm sure that supportability will change in the near future but that's been covered in other threads already.

There's no store on the FE, which is the primary reason it's supportability is complicated. It won't require gobs of RAM or gobs of disk IOs like the BE server does. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Andy Blevins Sent: Thursday, September 14, 2006 1:53 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: [Possible Junk Mail] RE: Licensing for OWA FE/BE servers I completely agree with Joe, and on that note, Exchange on a VM is supported only in very specific circumstances. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Joe Pochedley Sent: Thursday, September 14, 2006 2:39 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: [Possible Junk Mail] RE: Licensing for OWA FE/BE servers Disclaimer: I am not an authorized Microsoft Rep... You should really be speaking to Microsoft about all licensing questions... With that out of the way... The license to run multiple virtual instances of Windows Server 2003 R2 on a single piece of hardware is ONLY extended to the Enterprise edition of Windows Server. Unless Microsoft has reconsidered this point in the past few months, Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition does not enjoy this privilege. Next... Microsoft does not support running ISA server on a virtual machine. Not that you couldn't get it to work (many people, myself included (for testing & learning), have done it), but it's not a supported config from Microsoft. Just something to be aware of going in... http://www.support.microsoft.com/kb/897614 Finally... It is not a good idea to run other software on your firewall. That includes OWA/Exchange on ISA. ISA is a FIREWALL and should be thought of as a security appliance. As a such, why do you think it would be a good idea to run other software on it? The ISA server box is not the place to install Exchange (FE or BE). Joe Pochedley Software suppliers are trying to make their software packages more user-friendly... Their best approach, so far, has been to take all the old brochures, and stamp the words, 'user-friendly' on the cover." - Bill Gates. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Craig A.

I don't know if you will find Exchange on an ISA Server as a common configuration out there. Not saying it can't be done (I wonder if that's supported?), but it seems like it would add a great deal of complexity to run it on what is effectively a firewall. If you can't get a 3rd server for whatever reason, you would probably be better served just doing the secure publishing through ISA to your single back-end server.
