I have an Exchange 2003 front-end/back-end topology
setup. I would like for two things to happen:
First I would like to alter IIS on the front end box so
my users can go to www.companyname.com instead of
www.companyname/exchange to get a logon prompt. I need to
do this on this box because DNS is hosted externally and
I can't alter it locally through DNS unless I put some
kind of forward on the firewall. Just curious to know if
I can do it through IIS like you could do with Exchnage
2000 and Exchnage 5.5. I currently have it running
according to article KB319878 and it seems to work. Can I
do this with Exchange 2003?
Second, I would like my users to be able to enter just
their username and password credentials instead of using
domain\username and then password. By just entering
username and password now, spell check does not work.
When I go back to log in using domain\username and
password spell check will work. Why?
Most Exchange 2003 services have been stopped on the
front-end server along with both private and public
stores being dismounted and permanently stopped. I also
stopped some services that don't need to be started on
the front-end like the Information Store, Exchange System
Attendant. OWA is running fine so I know it is not these
services that cause the spell check to fail. I believe
only two services are running on the front end like the
routing engine and exchange system manger.
Thanks in advance for all your help.
