Hi All,

I'm a exchange 5.5 admin, used to outlook web single address, able to
connect to other sites. Although I'm unsure if this works with exchange 2003
?

Anyway, I have recently setup a front end server for exchange 2003. Although
unfortunately I cannot seem to connect to the back end server in another
site/admin group.
Although connecting directly to the back end server works with no problem.
The error messages what I getting is a simple 404 error although the layout
in internet explorer is correct.
Last two entries on the front end server the following,

16:52:42 192.168.1.88 GET /exchange/testing/ Cmd=navbar 80 domain2\testing
192.168.1.68 Mozilla/4.0+(compatible;+MSIE+6.0;+Windows+NT+5.1) 404 0 0
2004-03-02 16:52:42 192.168.1.88 GET /exchange/testing/Posteingang/
Cmd=contents 80 domain2\testing 192.168.1.68
Mozilla/4.0+(compatible;+MSIE+6.0;+Windows+NT+5.1) 404 0 0

Although what is really interesting is that when I setup another folder from
System Manager, and set the SMTP address, for the second site, then it works
okay for the second site.

Strange problem which occurred as well, was on the backend server from the
second site, the "exchange" directory SMTP address was actually pointing to
the first site i.e.. sitename1.domain.com whereby it should have been
sitename2.domain.com. Although I was able to fix this by deleting the
"exchange" directory via ADSIedit and creating another pointing to the
correct SMTP address.

Any help would be great!

Just a follow up regarding the problem,

I resolved it by setting extra virutal directories from within the System
Manger, for each SMTP address. Although this is acceptable for the moment,
I'm still unsure if it's possible to get it working for all sites over one
single virtual directory ?

Also creating our own SSL certifacate helped a lot, with the SSL forms
login. really nice!
