We have a a back-end server and no plans to build a front-end server. I was
told that there is a registry edit that can be made to make the back-end
server think it is both the FE and BE server. Does anybody know where I can
find this information??

Hi,
It would be better to tell us what you are trying to accomplish.
If you have only one server it will accept all types of client access
supported by a front-end server and at the same time act as a mailbox
server.

We are running an A-P cluster and are running OWA ssl. I would like to use
forms based authentication but is grayed out and Microsoft says that they do
not support it. It then says that we need to use a FE server.
So if I make my server a FE-BE server this would solve my issue and would
allow me to use the forms based instead of having a pop-up for login
purposes.
What my main goal is, is to get my users to use a login web page instead of
a pop up. It justs looks more professional.
Hi,
That is not possible.
Forms based authentication is not available in an exchange cluster
(http://support.microsoft.com/kb/834637/en-us ) and you must install a
front-end server if you want to enable it.

I do not believe that is true. It is not available, yes; and it is not
supported, yes. That I already knew.
But there has to be some way to make it work. That is why I am looking for
that registry entry that would make our Exchange server look and act like a
FE-BE server. I just took a 2-day exchange class and the instructor
mentioned the entry but went by too fast and I was not able to copy it down.
So, I know one exists.
The instructor was wrong, there is no way to do this, I assume you are
installing this cluster in a production environment, so my question to you
is why are you installing a cluster?

I do not want to sound nasty, but why else would one install a cluster. For
redundancy, for failover. I am just trying to find a way so that our users
can have a web-based login for OWA similiar to that of the forms-based
instead of Microsoft's cheesy pop-up login. Is there a way to do this if
forms based is not available? There has to be some kind of workaround.
If you want redundancy then I assume you are also looking for a supported
solution?
Our only supported method is to use a Front-end server.

Then, can you answer a license question. I know that if I had a FE server I
would have to pay for Exchange Enterprise. Would I have to purchase client
licenses for the FE Server also?
Do you know of any articles that I can read to best implement a FE server in
an A-P cluster?
Exchange Server - Back-end Server
You do not need to purchase the Enterprise edition of Exchange if you want a
frontend, Exchange 2003 Standard edition can work as a frontend.

rpc-https on Single server Exchange Server Hi, I am enabling rpc over https on single exchange server, which is also a DC and GC. After installing rpc proxy component on Windows Server 2003, I used ESM to enable rpc-http for Back-End server. Upon doing so, I got a dialog box complaining there is no Front-End server in my environment. However, the rpc-http for Back-End option is still selected. When rpc-http, the connection status still use TCP / IP. I checked the rpcProxy ports in registry, all entries are defined correctly. Do I miss out any important steps or any websites
