OWA-is not working   

Dear All,

The main thing which i wat to do is:-

1. i want to establish OWA for my External user.
==============================================================================

I have the following :-

1. i have only 2 domains ( mailserver ) & ( webloc), in the same  Network.
2. both domains have 1 DC in each .
3. Exchange server is installed on the First domain only ( Mailserver ).
4. Our web site is only installed on the other domain ( Webloc) and its on the
IIS 5.0 on the DC of the seconde Domain.
5. on the second domain, there is a publish Rule which is maping only the Real
IP- Address for web site to that Domain Controller of the second domain.
==============================================================================

what we need is, only on the second domain , i want to create Virtual
Directory to map to the Mailbox of the users on the First doamin on the
exchange . so when any one type : http://www.xyz.com/mail he will see his 
e-mails.

i did the virtual directory , but with some notes:-

1. i found that from the second domain - Not from the first domain-, i found i
am able to access the first domain, then access the
exchange server which is located on the domain controller. and also on the
first domain, i can see the second domain and access the shared folder.

2. both DC, on the same Network and they can Ping each other.

3. on the first domain, when i was try to give Permission to this folder,
ifound that , i cant see at all the second domain and also it happen on the
first domain.

i check on the Active directory Domians & Trust, i found that on both domain
controllers there was nothing at all, no Trust at all, and howver i can see
the other resources on both servers !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

on the second domain controller , on its IIS, the  Virtual
Directory  which has been created by me and map it to the MBX folder on the
exchange server on the first domian  ,  i found  there is a
red circule indicate that there is Error on that virtual directory, i do not
know why ???

but i found that, we are  unable to put the user name & Password and always
display ( you are not authorized ) & sometimes ( Page cant be found ).

so, what is happen, how can we solve this?

==============================================================================
as i understood, OWA working with this way,:-

( Microsoft OWA, is tightly integrated component of Exchange server 2000. its
used by Remote Home & external users, OWA Provide web browser access to the
E-mails, Calander , contacts and all the Information stored in Microsoft
exchange Storage System Folder).

so, How can i implement OWA, if the Exchange server installed on another
domain, and the IIS which is only Published is located on onther Domain ?
Can you please Help me ?

Re: OWA-is not working   

Hi,

OWA cannot be seperated from the Exchnage installation.

If I understand your post correctly the setup you are trying to implement
can't work.
