NCUA audtiors want to know why we don't have it is our DMZ currently.

At one point I knew an answer but today I don't have a clue.

I know the user access OWA or activesync throught he outside interface
of the Firewall.

The Firewall NAT's/PAT's the address to my local Lan.  The outside
interface has a Cert from GoDaddy.

Is that really enough?  Only access to port 25 or 443  is allowed
through the firewall.

Subject: Re: Moving Exchange 2003 into a DMZ

 

Why would you do that?

 

How many ports do you intend to connect from the internet to the
Exchange box?

And how many are you going to have to open up between the DMZ and the
LAN in order to get it to function?

 

What problem do you hope to solve by moving it?

changes?  (Correct?)

Smartphones and tablets that have email coming to them use the outside
interface fo the firewall so they should be fine? (Correct?)

If I have management consoles that send SMTP email internally (VirusScan
type things) or those interfaces that use IP instead of FQDN, they will
have to be manually corrected when the move happens to point to the
internal DMZ address of the server? (Correct?)

 

Thanks ahead of time. 

Also, what would it take to just build an Exchange 2010 server and just
start migrating users to it instead of moving my 2003 box anyways?

 

As always I am humbly asking to not be beaten for my stupidity but given
your wisdom on the subject instead.

Thanks

David
