MS Exchange: Configuring the Inside Server


Follow these steps to configure the inside Microsoft Exchange server:

  1. On the inside server, click Settings>Control Panel> Network, set the primary WINS address to the address of that system, 192.168.42.2, and set the secondary WINS address to the inside address of the firewall, 192.168.41.1.

    In the Network entry, click Services>Computer Browser. Ensure that the inside server is the master browser for the domain, which in this case, is pixin.

    In the Network entry, click Protocols>TCP/IP Protocol> WINS Configuration. Set the primary and secondary WINS address to that of the inside server, in this case, 192.168.42.2. On the Default Gateway tab, set the address to the inside address of the firewall, in this case, 192.168.42.1.

  2. Click Start>Programs>WINS Manager, and specify a static mapping for the outside server's domain, pixout, and a unique mapping for the outside server, outserver. Set both to the address of the outside server, 209.165.201.2.

    On the Server menu, click Replication Partners and add a Pull Partner for the outside server, in this case, 209.165.201.2. This permits pulling the outside server's database to the inside server's local database. This incorporates the two server's databases so that user information is shared across the firewall. Use the default options in the remainder of this dialog box.

    You can view the information you entered by clicking Mappings>Show Database.

  3. Establish a trusted, trusting relationship between the inside server's domain, pixin and the outside server's domain, pixout. Click Start>Programs>Administrative Tools>User Manager for Domains. Then click Policies>Trust Relationship and click Trusting Domain. Add a trusting domain for the outside server's domain and assign a password to it.

    Then establish a trusted domain for pixout by clicking Trusted Domain.

  4. Exit the application and reboot the Windows NT system.
