Hello,
I am currently installing a Windows 2003 Exchange Server in my DMZ on a PIX 515E firewall. Exchange is running on WIndows 2003 Server and my domain controller is a W2K3 server as well. I need to implement OWA and have a question in regards to which ports I should be allowing between the exchange server and the domain controller. I just read a posting where one of the replies was that with W2K3 and Exchange 2003 you don't have to map the rpc port anymore via a registry hack, that the os does it for you??? It didn't offer any additional information or any links where I can verify this. I cannot find any information on this anywhere, even though I am really hoping it's true. Does anyone know anything about this or can you point me in the right direction.
This is the way it is done for W2K, however I don't want to unneccessarily modify the registry on my domain controler if I don't have to:
"Set the following registry key on your domain controllers and open the port you specify on your firewall
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\NTDS\Parameters
On the Edit menu, click Add Value, and then add the following registry value:
Value Name: TCP/IP Port
Data Type: REG_DWORD
Radix: Decimal
Value: greater than 1024"
Thanks,
