RE: Configureing OWA 2K10 in Coexistence

There is no such thing as CAS-to-FE proxying.

However, you can configure the CAS to redirect the user to the Exchange 2003 
server.

Typically, you will do something like this:


Set-OWAVirtualDirectory CAS2008\OWA* `

-Exchange2003URL "https://legacy.example.com";

And the Exchange 2003 server will have the 2010 SAN certificate loaded which 
includes legacy.example.com. This does necessitate that you have TWO external 
IP addresses.

You configure redirection the same as you did in Exchange 2003 and/or Exchange 
2007 - you put a redirection script in the root of the website, whether it's 
ASP, ASPX, Perl, or whatever.


I cover this in the May 2010 cover article of WindowsITPro. :)

All-

I'm setting up an server with all the roles on one server.  Currently the 
client is using https://webmail.company.com to access their webmail externally 
to their E2K3 box.  What I want to do is use that same name on the E2K10 CAS 
server and have E2K10 handle all OWA request for both servers (e2k10, e2k3).  
What I'm unsure of is how do I setup redirection so users won't have to type 
out https://webmail.company.com/owa?

Thank you,



John Bowles

Upgrading our existing cert costs more than just getting another cert for 
legacy.mycompany.com so a silly question…

An existing cert for mail.mycompany.com points to 2K3 FE’s.  
Could we move the mail.company.com to the CAS array and get a separate 
legacy.company.com cert  on the  FE's?

Assume we’re not using OutlookAnywhere externally so (hopefully) no need for  
autodiscover.mycompany.com.

Sure, you can do that.

The disadvantage is that you'll have a short switchover timeframe during which 
the FE will probably not be accessible. (That is, the interval between when you 
put in the new certificate and update your DNS and then the DNS propagates to 
everwhere you need it to.)

Using a SAN certificate containing the old and the new name avoids that.

Sorry for the late thank you, but, Thanks:)

Decision was go with the SAN cert after all, just to avoid downtime (short as 
it may be) or any other issues.
