Exchange 2003, frontend - backend server config. Let's call the servers
front1 and back1. I thought I could set up our basic Outlook 2003 install to
create a mail profile with front1 as the server name and the logged-in user's
username as mailbox name, and then the MAPI client would be smart enough to
find the mailbox on back1, but it's not doing that. The first attempt fails,
and if I manually enter the "back1" as the server name, MAPI finds the
mailbox immediately.
I know I could create the install with "back1" as the server name, but I'm
thinking ahead to whenever I have to migrate to a new server again- it would
be nice to not have to change the install. Am I misunderstanding something
about front-end/back-end (like, there's no way what I'm doing should ever
work)? Or have I likely fouled up something about the front-end/back-end
config?
