    Hi guys,

    I've basically been told that we require an Exchange
    system operated within our DMZ setup. After much
    reading I've decided to go for a front-end, back-end
    Exhange system, with the Exchange front-end in the DMZ
    and the back-end in the LAN. However, even though I've
    opened up all the ports specified in MS' white papers
    between the DMZ and LAN, I cannot connect to the
    domain/active directory from the Front-End server. How
    do I go about this? I mean all I am trying at the
    moment is to connect to our internal Domain by
    accessing the network ID in the My Computer properties
    and trying typing in the Domain. Do I have to do
    anything else?! Sorry for my amateurishness(!) but
    we're a small firm and cannot afford a fully-fledged
    exchange specialist, thus I'm doing it!

    Thanks in advance.

    Dean Pullen.
