www.microsoft.com is a good start. And your Technet CDs. You do get Technet right? If not you really should (especially now that MS has redesigned their KB search in case you have the same problem I do that now you can't find anything anymore). And if you have the choice go for the Technet+ subscription rather than just the Technet.
Go to the MS site and go to the Technet portion (or go to your CDs) and read up on IIS (Internet Information Server) and OWA (Outlook Web Access) and make sure you go to the chapter on securing your IIS server. There is also a white paper I believe or at any rate there used to be. I built mine on NT4 SP6a with IIS4 and Exchange 5.5 SP3 so I don't know that any of my direct links will help you (specially since they seem to go somewhere else now anyway thanks to the site redesign). Here is the one for the security chapter which seems to still work: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/IIS/technote/instgd/iischp5.asp and looks like it will provide you a tree of the stuff on IIS so you can get to all the info that way. Also, I bought the IIS Resource Kit which had a lot of really good info in it. And also look for the stuff under Exchange about OWA. And read up on it in the Exchange books too. Be very careful if you don't know what you are doing make sure you have checked everything and make sure you have all the latest patches before you go live on the internet with this box. You don't want to become one of those people who's infected with nimda. If you are at all unsure about your setup call PSS and have them go over it with you. It's way cheaper than cleaning up after a box gets hacked would be.
