So long as OWA is running fine internally then you are good to go. That sounds the right approach, but I don't know your firewall setup (and don't want to :-) ).
Bear in mind that: 1) You are opening port 80 on your exchange server to the world, so you are open to any iis vulnerability that may subsequently be released. Keep your server patched! Remember code Red! 2) All traffic, if just using HTTP is not encrypted 3) if you are opening port 80 then they will also be able to do http://youripaddress/exchange and run OWA from anywhere (see note 2) 4) You need to look at the security implications before doing this. If your people can get to it from anywhere, then I can too and I'm nicer than some people :-) Hackers just care that there is a port open and will run bots against it for fun or money or pain (yours) HTH Dean -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David Wessell Sent: Thursday, 28 September 2006 12:02 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Re: Publishing Shared Calendars Dean, Thanks a ton! At least I know I'm going in the right direction! I am running Exchange 2k3.. So I don't have to do anything to make the folder accessible via the internet? I think that might be what was causing my confusion. I was looking for something to change, or something do to, to set it up. The network that Exchange is hosted on, does not host any websites at all.. It's purely for internal usage. So what I'm thinking I'll do, is this. I'll forward all incoming port 80 requests via the firewall to the server running Exchange, and into that folder.. That's the only thing that would be accessible from the web on our internal network. Then on the website (Which is hosted externally).. I can just do a php include to the IP address of the network.. Might just work...?? For authentication purposes.. When someone hits that public folder from the internet. Will they be prompted for login credentials? Cal's aren't an issue here.. As this will only be used rarely, when someone is out of the office.. Thanks for the push in the right direction. Thanks David Dean Cunningham wrote: > You may have a licencing issue here.
