Can I please have comments on the following plan? The current setup:
EX01, an Exchange 2000 Enterprise edition server sits on our LAN. In our DMZ we have MIS01, a Mobile Information Server 2002 server. (both these servers are member servers in the AD) Also in our DMZ, we have a workgroup win2k server which acts as our SMTP gateway for Exchange. Users access OWA on EX01 by connecting to our firewall using https, and the firewall NATs that through to EX01. All of that works fine. The plan: Taking advantage of our Software Assurance, upgrade EX01 to Exchange 2003 enterprise edition. Buy a license for Exchange 2003 Standard edition, and install that on MIS01, configure as front end server for OWA, connecting to mailboxes on EX01 Re-jig so MIS01 is also acting as our SMTP gateway, probably retaining the workgroup server as a backup MX MIS functionality (serversync, OMA, etc) is included in Ex2003, so we don't need MIS2002 anymore. Thanks in advance.
