My understanding is that you must do a Front End/Back End arrangement,
and you have to use the Enterprise version of Exchange 2000. The Front
End box doesn't have to have much on it--no mailboxes, that is--but it
has to have E2K on it.

Subject: IIS Front End to OWA 2000?


I'm currently in the early planning phase of an enterprise messaging
rollout
for a smallish company.  I'm well-experienced with Exchange 5.5 and OWA
and
I've done my share of reading and research on Exchange 2000.  The
problem is
that I've got a client with a pre-existing "fearofExchangeintheDMZ"
disease.
Since I obviously need to host whatever WWW service for OWA in the DMZ,
I
need some advice on the front end.  Can a vanilla IIS 5.0 installation
support the web services for OWA inside the corporate LAN?  I've found
plenty of info on doing OWA Front End/Back End configurations, but none
on
IIS-->OWA ones.  Is this possible, or does IIS have problems
authenticating?
or are there ISAPI problems, etc?

If this can't be done, I have no problems telling the client that I'm
going
to put Exchange in his DMZ and do a standard F/E B/E config but I'm
going to
have to convince him and his cronies that their AD and message store is
still safe.

Thanks.

Eric
