You've poked so many useful holes on one side that you've compromised the full functionality of what would be a DMZ. Why not just open 443 (HTTP over SSL) right through and put the OWA server inside?

RE: OWA in DMZ
I have an almost identical config here - with the exception of NT4 for the OWA box (don't have much win2k expertise and currently don't run any Exchange stuff on it). Otherwise I do use a 1-way trust from the DMZ, and the port bindings for the DS and IS on the Exchange box are 1225 and 1226 respectively. Those 2 ports and the SMB stuff (137, 138, 139) along with 135 (for the RPC stuff) are opened in this config. Have you opened the ports to the entire trusted segment, or only to specific servers? In our world, the only thing in the DMZ right now is the OWA box - it's kind of dedicated to OWA only, so blowing a few holes into the trusted from there for OWA doesn't make me too nervous. But as more services are added in the DMZ I think I will serioulsy consider the advice of several others on this list and move the OWA server within the trusted (443 coming in) and seal up the DMZ again. That seems to be the message that I hear more and more. just my 2c. randy. -Original Message- From: Dikeman, Bo [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: November 15, 2001 12:23 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: OWA in DMZ Good Morning, Please forgive me if this question has already been answered, but I have searched high and low and still can't get things to click right.

RE: OWA in DMZ
make sure W2K is using service pack 2. What ports are open on the firewall for access and what permissions are granted. I think ports 1025 and 1026 (not just 1025)higher need to be open because of RPC. I tend to stay away from this type of set up ,it is (my feeling) that it is less secure then inside with 443 only. Since you have a PIX use it to do a one-to-one NAT then only allow allow port 25 and 443 only. Two ports versus 14. just my two cents -Original Message-From: Dikeman, Bo [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]Sent: Thursday, November 15, 2001 11:23 AMTo: MS-Exchange Admin IssuesSubject: OWA in DMZ Good Morning, Please forgive me if this question has already been answered, but I have searchedhigh and low and still can't get things to click right.

RE: OWA in DMZ?
I've always advocated putting the OWA box internal to your network. OWA accesses the exchange server using MAPI, therefor requiring several compromisable ports to be open. Depending on what else you use your DMZ for, this may not be acceptible. Others will say OWA internally is unacceptible. Definitely SSL. Port 443 only. Neither is 100% secure.

Primary Exchange server is 5.5 (NT4) behind firewall (using NAT) and OWA is already installed on the same box for internal use. Need to make OWA available external. What is the best way? OWA in DMZ? OWA in DMZ with SSL? Use OWA on internal box? (how?) Tried to install OWA on a test DMZ box, but it failed because it wants a domain. My DMZ boxes are in a workgroup. Opinions, thoughts, suggestions?

RE: OWA in DMZ?

OWA on an internal box with SSL. You could use your existing internal OWA box, just install a certificate.
