Hi,

I'm trying to setup one front end server to talk with 2 back end.

On the front end server using http://FE_Servername/exchange I can access
mailboxes that are on backend "A" and on backend "B".

However, if I try with the domain name http://www.domain.com/exchange I can
only access mailboxes that are hosted on back end "A". Mailboxes on back end
"B" are receiving a 404 page cannot be found.

Anybody can give me a clue on how to set either the FE or BE so user on BE
"B" can access OWA?

Thanks!

There should be nothing special you need to do. Are both back-end servers
in the same Exchange organization? Can you open a mailbox using OWA by
connecting directly to B using http (not https)? Do you have any hardware
or software firewalls between FE and B?

Thanks for the reply!

I've found out what was the problem. On the "B" I had to go in the IIS
Metabase and delete an entry. A while ago we used to run a website that was
using the same host header, since the site was no longer showing in the IIS
Manager website list, I didn't think that information was stuck somewhere...
