That is exactly what I told him. We have a bunch of servers that are doing pretty much nothing.
I'll give them names for the benefit of this post:
mailserve
iserve2
bob
Mailserve is the current server that handles everything. I want it to only handle email and have iserve2 do all the routing with ISA. However, the IT admin says they've tried before and can't get external email to route through iserve2 to mailserve. I think that is should work, why wouldn't it?
Mailserve would be the domain controller (MCKEELACADEMY.COM) as well as the email. The local website would be on www2.mckeelacademy.com on mailserve. How am I going to set it up so it works like that again? It also had OWA (www2.mckeelacademy.com/exchange).
www.mckeelacademy.com is on a seperate web server that we don't control.
If I were to move the website onto Bob, how could I get OWA to point to the mailserve for email? Also, if I were to put ISA on iserve2, how would I get it to route external emails to mailserve?
Wow I'm going to be learning a lot in the next few days.
