Hello to all ... let me explain my environment first:
Front End OWA server (Servername: OWA01) - Windows 2003/Exchange 2003
Back End Mailbox Server (Servername: MBX01) - Windows 2003/Exchange 2003

Ok here's my question ... I would like individuals who are internal to be
able to open up IE and type only "http://exchange" to access their mailbox
through OWA. Within DNS I already created a "CName" which points "exchange"
to the "MBX01" mailbox. So now individuals that type
"http://exchange/exchange" can access their mailbox, but I would like to
remove the 2nd /exchange. Within IIS on the OWA01 box within the Default
Website/Home Directory I changed the option to: "a redirection to a URL"
typed in "/exchange" (without the quotes) and clicked on the "a directory
below URL entered" with no luck.

Any help is greatly appreciated ... thanks

Why? Why create the confusion?
Do it this way here, and do it that way there.
Just use the same URL internally and externally. Your users will thank you.

Hi Martin,
This was requested during a managers' meeting. How can it be done?

Thanks
