    My first question is why do you have to have it in the DMZ, but it seems you
    were being told to put it in the DMZ.

    Can you show us the URL's you referenced in setting this up.
    I assume you are running Exchange 2000 on Windows 2000 in an AD Domain?

    What exactly is your front-end? Is it the Outlook clients or is it Outlook
    Web Access?

    Not sure what you mean by 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.'

    Are you using a computer in the DMZ running Windows 2000 Professional and
    trying to login into your Active Directory Domain?

    Subject: Exchange in the DMZ

    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.
