I created a Virtual HTTP server in system manager (don't want to use the default web site). In Authentication I have it set for basic and integrated. Now in IIS I changed the home directory from M:\Exchange\MBX to another directory where the default.htm file is just a redirection to https://mail.mydomain.com/exchange. Install the SSL certificate on the web site. Then I force 128bit only for the exchange and public virtual directories and not for the root home directory. So exchange public are only available via SSL but the root home diretory is available via http. The goal is to have the users go to http://mail.mydomain.com and have them transported to https://mail.mydomain.com/exchange automatically. All this works great until the metabase from exchange gets replicated back to IIS. That winds up changing the home directory for my mail.mydomain.com website back to M:\exchange\MBX and the redirection stops working. So I guess my question is how to make the virtual HTTP server created in ESM act more like the default web server where you get to choose your own home directory for the web site? Any other suggestions on how to have the user go to http://mail.mydomain.com and have them automatically forwarded to https://mail.mydomain.com/exchange. The other condition is that mail.mydomain.com/exchange should only be available via SSL where as mail.mydomain.com should also be available via http. Thanks, Shahid
