Moving OWA to another site

I currently have OWA (Exchange 2000) running on IIS 5 and
is configured at http://www.domain.com/exchange I would
like to have it set for http://mail.domain.com. I've
configured both my internal and external dns servers with
a mail.domain.com hosts.

That's pretty much where my knowledge ends. I've created
a mail.domain.com website in IIS and attempted to direct
the home directory to: M:\domain.com\mdx and that didn't
do anything for me. I've tried several variations of
this, also with no luck.

Any assistance would be greatly recieved. Thanks in
advance for your time and support.

Since you already have it configured for a particular website, I would just
go into the IIS MMC Snapin, and edit the properties for the www.domain.com
website. Add a host-header "mail.domain.com" for the current website.

Then, the current website will answer on www.domain.com -and-
mail.domain.com

That is probably the easiest way to achieve what you want.

Cheers
Ken

Hi Ken and thanks for the reply.

I had thought about doing that but I have corporate pages
already being served at www.domain.com. I was hoping to
seperate the OWA into another site (mail.domain.com)
altogether to I can maintain the integrity of the former.

Thanks again.
Michael

For anyone who is interested, here is my solution:

Create a new virtual directory in the Exchange System
Manager by right-clicking the HTTP folder under
Protocols. Select the advanced button and supply the IP
address of the hosting server along with the appropriate
host header (in this case mail.domain.com). Now map
three virtual directories: public, exchange, and
exadmin.

That's basically it.
Good luck.
