OWA with two Exchange 2003 servers 1

[DCBennett]

Hi,

We had one exchange 2003 server and could access OWA via

https://dnsname/exchange

fine. Everything on same box.

We've now added a 2nd Exchange server and moved some mailboxes over and want to use OWA to access mailboxes on both servers.

OWA works for mailboxes on the old server but not on the new one - get "page cannot be displayed" after logon screen.
OWA on the new server as

http://servername/exchange

works.

What have I missed? - 2nd server is default install of Ex2003 as additional server. Do I need SSL cert on the new server as well? Do I need to make old server "front end" - it still hosts mailboxes?

Any clues appreciated!

Regards
David

That's because traffic for port 80/443 is directed to a single server. You need to implement a front end server and have OWA point to that.

Thanks for the help Pat,

Shame we can't have a Front End server with some mailboxes on it:-(
We don't want the cost of yet another Exchange Server so will run OWA local on both boxes for the time being.
