Installing and configuring an Exchange Server 2003 Front-End Clearing the Active Directory

Hello, today we will learn to Install Exchange Server 2003 server and configure it as Front-End Server or Application Server . First Front-End server is one which provides services OWA, RPC over HTTPS, ActiveSync, OMA , etc. This server also performs the task to send internal emails to the Internet and e input to the internal organization. A single Exchange 2003 server can fulfill all these tasks but be less efficient and best practices for deployment of Exchange servers is not recommended. The recommendation is to do the following: Have 01 Front-End server for incoming and outgoing mail to the Internet (Internet-facing, located in the DMZ or internal network, publish and enable services such as OWA, RPC over HTTPS, ActiveSync, OMA) and one or more Back-End Exchange servers, which serves as the repository of user mailboxes and the server connect users through clients such as Outlook (MAPI connections). The process of sending emails in a topology Back-End and Front-End is as follows. A user connected to Exchange server via Outlook client sends an email, the mail is sent and categorized by the Server Back-End to Front-End server and the server settings under Virtual SMTP connectors and send it to the destination correct as the Internet. For postal entry, front-end server receives mail and forwards it to Back-End and the latter notifies the arrival of a new mail in your mailbox.

Steps to configure an Exchange 2003 Server Front-End:

Join the domain as member server to Windows Server 2003 on Exchange will be installed.

We install pre-requisites as IIS components. We can get the complete steps in: http://exchangepro.blogspot.com/2007/12/instalando-nuestro-primer-servidor.html

Using Exchange 2003 CD to prepare the domain for a server entry Additional Exchange. Execute the following: UnidadLectora: \\ SETUP \\ I386 \\ SETUP / domainprep.

accepted the terms, the installation path and continue with the installation.

Now install Exchange 2003. Execute the following: UnidadLectora: \\ SETUP \\ I386 \\ SETUP.

install Exchange accept the licensing terms and installation path.

After finishing the installation of Exchange 2003 should upgrade to Exchange 2003 SP2. For this we can access: http://exchangepro.blogspot.com/2007/12/instalando-nuestro-primer-servidor.html

When we have our Exchange server installed entered the Exchange System Manager and expand Servers, see two Exchange 2003 servers.

select the new server installed, which will be the Front-End server, right click, select Properties. In the window loaded we mark the check of This is a Front-End Server or This is a Application Server. We hope to load and ready, a window warning that we must restart the services for Exchange, POP3, etc. You can restart all the Exchange server. NOTE: The server on which Front-End will not contain user mailboxes.

now have a front-end server, we can now take full advantage of the SP2 presentations as SSL OWA, RPC over HTTPS, ActiveSync, OMA . Services will configure later.

Consider now the post must leave and enter for Front-End server, we recommend changes in the firewall. I also recommend the creation of one or more SMTP connectors. This issue will publish it soon.

The flow e-mails between the Back-End and Front-End happens automatically, you only need to enable check of Front-End server side, those who do not have this check by default are Back- End.
