RE: E2K front-end and back-end in different domains?
I would really have to guess this is a misprint based on the other destructions in the FE/BE topo documentation. Such as, having to add virtual servers for different SMTP domains, etc. This is our setup, and it works fine. We have the FE in a child domain, and E2K servers in every other child domain. Nothing is in the root. -Original Message- From: Ed Crowley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, December 13, 2002 3:28 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: E2K front-end and back-end in different domains?

RE: E2K front-end and back-end in different domains?
There is an updated version as of July 2002. I don't have the link to hand but I was able to download it from the MS site as part of a set of E2K Whitepapers. -Original Message- From: Hutchins, Mike [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 16 December 2002 13:34 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: E2K front-end and back-end in different domains?

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?

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.
