I'm in the process of migrating to a new Exchange 2003 server (using the Ed Crowley method). I've brought up a new server in the site and the two are communicating (at least, all seems to be okay). I've used the mailbox move wizard to move some mailboxes, but found that the people who now reside on the new server can't hit OWA from outside anymore. If we connect to OWA internally, it works fine. If we try to connect to the old server, it just changes the URL to the new server's name. My problem is that while I'm migrating people, I need to make sure that they can access OWA from home. Is it possible (maybe I've missed something in my config?) for them to connect from home through the old server and have it serve up their OWA connection on the new server? I guess I'd assumed that OWA requests would be passed between the servers. In a worst-case situation, I will have to set up a new DNS entry through our ISP that points them through the firewall to the new server's IP addy, but it seemed to me that I shouldn't have to do that - there may be a way to have the old connection serve up their OWA while they're on the new server? Suggestions? Thanks, Mark
