Thanks Carl
There will be an ISA server between our new exchange server and the internet, if we go along that route. Just as there is now between the old one and the internet. At the moment there are no plans to have support in the US cover our time zone.

Can't hurt to ask. The answer to your question is "yes" but best practice dictates that a FE server, an ISA server, and usually both, be in between the unwashed Internet and your Exchange server. This is particularly important now that you're part of a larger worldwide org and a problem with your security can spread far and wide. If no one in Michigan is concerned about you doing this, then you can just do it. But those people in Michigan need to be asked.

I am quiet happy to use the front end server of the new company which I now have working for my test users. I think they want to still feel that we can operate without needing to rely on the US. It's the, what if we come in one morning and the Front end server is not working for some reason. How are our remote users going to get email until someone in Michigan gets in to fix the problem scenario. If our users could connect directly to our exchange server we could probably resolve any Exchange connection issues ourselves. Another front end server in the UK might be the best answer but the last time I raised that issue they did not want to buy another exchange license. Regards.

What is the goal? What is broken that needs fixing? Since a FE server already exists for the organization, I'd say "give it a try". You probably won't know the difference. Carl From: Kevan Dickinson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, August 20, 2008 11:38 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RPC over HTTPS question We have been using RPC over HTTPS for a number of years and everyone is very happy with it. We are using Exchange Server 2003 sp2. We only have a single Exchange 2003 server. No front end. The company have recently been bought by a much larger organization in the US that have a Front End Exchange 2003 server for OWA and RCP access and 4 backend Exchange 2003 servers. All our user accounts are being migrated to the new companies domain and a new exchange server has been setup in the UK for our users. I am being asked if it is possible to set up our exchange server so that our users can access it directly for OWA and RCP access just as they have been done in the past to save them having to access their email via the Front End server in the US. We have our own internet connection and regular email is going to flow in and out of our exchange server directly and not via the gateway in the US. Regards.
