Look for E2KFBTop.doc on MS website. It has destructions for hosting for multiple domains, wether they be AD domains or SMTP domains makes no difference, same theory.
It will become clear. Plus, I have had a PSS call involving OWA in this org and PSS said that my topology was fine. The call was a DNS related issue. Some nuthugger put in a host file on a server in Jackson, Mississippi... -----Original Message----- From: Ken Cornetet [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, December 16, 2002 12:15 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: E2K front-end and back-end in different domains? 1. Maybe my testing hasn't hit all the corner cases. 2. Perhaps it won't work in a future SP or hotfix. 3. When the president of the company or the CEO is trying to use OWA, and it's broke, I don't want to call PSS and have them say "Um, that's not supported - it won't work". I am very hesitant to put something in production with the knowledge that a Microsoft document has said "Don't do that". I was hoping that some of the people who have implemented this have found some other documentation saying it is a blessed configuration. -----Original Message----- From: Ed Crowley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, December 13, 2002 5:28 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: E2K front-end and back-end in different domains? If it works, why would you call PSS?

A while back I queried the group about putting E2K front-end servers in a different domain (but same forest) than the backend servers. A couple of people responded that they could indeed be in different domains and were in fact running that way. Based on that positive feedback, I decided to try it out in test, and lo and behold it does seem to work (very limited testing so far...). Now the weird part: While perusing the Microsoft document titled "Exchange Front-end and Back-end Topology White Paper" for firewall information, I found a blurb on page 16 that specifically states that back-end servers must be in the same domain as the front-end servers. I had missed that entirely in previous reads! This paper is dated July 2000. I'm hoping that this is either wrong, or outdated (superceded by a service pack perhaps?) Does anyone have any references showing that this supported? I really hate to burn a PSS call on this... _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
