Hi Wilson Your problem might be that the IP addresses on the outside of the firewall are not in any of your site definition. This means that the services aren't able to ID which site they are in and therefore don't know which DC/GC to connect to. Try putting the external IP address range into the subnet lists for the specific site.
I had this exact issue several months ago and this was how we fixed it. Regards Peter Johnson -----Original Message----- From: Varghese, Wilson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 25 January 2002 20:26 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Exchange 2k OWA in a DMZ Here is the deal: We have a exchange 2000 front end and back end server. The front end server was working great as an OWA server when we did the setup and initial testing. (inside our network). Soon as I moved it to the DMZ, Exchange services wouldn't start on this server. We even went to the hassle of putting an "any" rule on the firewall so nothing was blocked from the Front end server (DMZ) to the internal network, and from the internal network to the front end server. Been working on this for over 2 days now and can't seem to figure out why Exchange can't access AD to start. LDAP communication is happening both ways, I can log in to the server, etc.. Another kicker is, when I tried to uninstall exchange 2k on the front end server, it says it can't connect to AD or doesn't know what site it's in... WTF.. Anyone have any ideas? Please? Thanks in advance...
