The Pain of Putting the Front-end Exchange in the DMZ

I finally finished the ISA 2004/Exchange Deployment Kit doc on the FE/BE Exchange config where the front-end is in a trihomed DMZ segment. What a pain! Actually, the ISA config is easy, but there are so many steps in configuring the Exchange Servers, Exchange Services, Email clients and certificate management, its easy to miss a step. On top of that, add in the vargaries of spazzing out virtual machines. Not sleeping for over 24 probably doesn't help either :-)

However, the final doc is a real work of art. I know that everyone has been wanting support for the FE in the DMZ, and now with ISA 2004 is works.

I hope I'll be able to demo the config for you at TechEd. Maybe if I get really motivated, I'll do some .avi movies of the config and put them on CD for you to take home. If only I could buy more hours in day. I'm getting up before going to bed these days!

Thanks!

Tom

Sounds like you are doing the hard yards Tom. Many thanks from all of us. Why stop with avi's, maybe you could rip a few DVD's for us so i can watch them on the couch :)

Hi Greg,

Ha! Not a bad idea. Maybe I'll do a rock video of myself playing my Les Paul and include it on the DVD :)

Thanks!

Im jealous, i just bought another strat but a gold top would be next on my list if work can finance it for me. Maybe i have to get into writing ISA books too. Then maybe we could do a dvd together. I'll have to wait till my hair grows long again though im afraid.
