OWA and two domains   
Hello,

I have front end/back end exchange 2003 set up and running in a single 
domain.  OWA is operational at the moment with https://owa.xxxxxxxx.ac.uk.

My organisation is going to change its name and would like to have a new 
domain name as well, which is operational as yyyyyyyy.ac.uk.  I have created 
the email addresses within exchange so all users have both domain addresses 
and it works fine.  However, I can't get OWA to show the new domain.

Can I set up the existing Front End server with a second domain within it?  
So that I have both https://owa.xxxxxx.ac.uk as well as 
https://owa.yyyyyyy.ac.uk.  If so how?

Failing that can I have a front end exchange server in the new domain that 
links to the back end server in the original domain?  Will this new server 
reflect the new domain name or because of its link to the original back end 
server still has xxxxxxx.ac.uk as its address etc??

Or do I need to set up a completely new front/back end cluster in the new 
domain??

Re: OWA and two domains   
Create a new HTTP virtual Server within ESM, using a dedicated IP with SSL

You can assign the SSL cert within IIS.

Re: OWA and two domains   
Hello Oliver,

Thanks for the reply its appreciated.  

Any chance you could give me a little more detail about the procedure 
please?  When you mention a dedicated IP I'm assuming you are putting a 
second IP on the network card - or am I missing something here? 

I should explain that I have inherited the exchange setup and have 
administered it but never actually set one up from scratch so there are gaps 
in my knowledge (large gaps!).

Many thanks

Re: OWA and two domains   
Hi there,

Assign a new IP to your Exchange FE.

Once that is done within ESM, expand the console | Administrative Groups | 
First Administrative Group | Servers | your FE | Protocols | HTTP

From here Right Click, new HTTP virtual server, bind it to your newly 
assigned IP.

The DS2MB process will then create the new HTTP virtual server in IIS.

You can then follow this document to secure it with SSL

http://www.msexchange.org/tutorials/OWA_Exchange_Server_2003.html

Note the additional IP is needed if you want to secure the site with SSL, as 
the site can't be listening on the same Port and IP as your current other 
OWA site.
