OWA Question

[lmoe]

I am using OWA but need to access my Exchange Server via

http://ip

address/exchange.

What is the syntax for a named address?

That would be

http://www.yourdomain.com/exchange

but that will only work if yourdomain is in a DNS somewhere of course.

If I have

http://www.greatdomain.com

hosted and running a web page...but my Exchange Server Name and Domain are Myserver and Mydomain.local, respectively,

When I try

http://www.greatdomain.com/exchange

I get an error 404.
Whe I go to the ip address of the router (and bypass the web site) everything is okay.

On the internet, we are using MX and A records so things are pointing to router from the web hosting site as well.

http://www.greatdomain.com/exchange

has to point to the same IP as

http://www.greatdomain.com

for that to work.
If it does, you need to forward your port 25 (nad/or 443) to the local IP of your Exchange server.

MX records are for Mail, nothing to do with this.

Whoops...
Port 25 was open on the router.
I added port 443
Both point to Exchange server local IP Address.
No luck.

Are you talking about a change at the web host?

web host? That depends where your web is.
Regardless, you should be able to acces OWA with :

http://yourIP/Exchange

But, I don't know why I type port25 and 443, it must be port 80 (or whatever port you put the IIS on), sorry about that.

I figured it out.
I need to go to where the A record points...
in this case mail.mydomain.com/exchange
