Exchange Server - adding single e2k7 server to single server e2k3 organization

We are running windows 2003 server based domain with a single e2k3 sp2
server. I have just installed e2k7 on a new server but have some issues.

First, when going through the Finalize Deployment steps, I get to the
distribution, the "Enable web-based distribution" option is grayed out. How
do I enable this option?

Second, when I either create a new user/mailbox on the e2k7 server or move
an existing mailbox to the new server, I can send external email but cannot
send or receive internal email (the e2k3 server is still the inbound SMTP
server). I assume this is related to the first problem I mentioned with the
OAB.

Any help/advice is greatly appreciated.

Hi,

Make sure that the 2007 server is configured as the OAB server,

Is there a routing group connector created between the 2 systems? (there
should be one)

  Mezl replied...

Thanks for your help. No there wasn't a routing group connector. I guess I
just assumed it was created during install and never double checked it.

Also, the OAB was on the old server. I created a new OAB on the e2k7 server
and was able to setup web-based distribution.

Thanks again,

Mez

Exchange 2007 & Outlook 2007 autodiscover service Exchange Server Hi, I believe I have a pretty good handle on how the autodiscover service works it successfully gives the right configuration for the various Exchange web services (availability service, OOF, OAB and Unifed Messaging service) and they all work fine. Outlook Anywhere even works correctly (as configured by the autodiscover service). These services are all published of each of the Exchange web services. If I choose the "test autoconfiguration" option in Outlook 2007 I can see that these are all set correctly. My issue is that my these services to the internet using basic authentication. What I do not understand is why Outlook 2007 is ever trying to access the external versions of the various Exchange web service the internal autodiscover service. No credential prompt happens at this stage. Surely the fact that Outlook has successfully found the SCP entry in Active Directory should tell it that it is currently for each of the Exchange web services? However, once Outlook receives the URLs from the autodiscover service it now tries to access the external versions

Emails to domain not routed to external Server Exchange Server Good Morning Everyone, I hope everyone is doing well today. We are hosting our website internally BUT the email is on an external server outside of our office. I set up the DNS records to point the website to webserver(DMZ) BUT I set up an MX record to point to our external mail server. Users can access the website ok, www.ourdomain.com, but when sending an email to to set up mail on the domain was the MX record pointing to the external server?
