Questions from a NOVICE: Scenario - Current 1FE/1BE server...FE running OWA access for users....Would like to add 2nd FE server with OWA access We want to setup the 2nd OWA server so that users can access email while 1st OWA server is still being used. I.E. www.companyname.com/exchange (Current OWA URL) www.companyname.com/email (Proposed 2nd OWA setup URL) I am a novice so not sure if there is a way to create different URL and point to mailboxes on backend or if this is not possible...

Hi Jason, Are you using Exchange 2003? Then you can configure high availibility and load balancing in two ways, Round Robin DNS or NLB. Refer below article... http://www.msexchange.org/tutorials/Load-Balancing-Exchange-Front-End-Servers.html

Hi, To use different url, first you need to save the current configuration of the Exchange Virtual Directory as a file. Open IIS, locate Exchange, right click it, select All Tasks->Save a configuration as a file, input the name as email. Then locate Default Web Site, select New->Virtual Directory (from file), locate the previous path of the email, then click Read File button, highlight email, click OK. After that, please check whether you can access OWA by using www.companyname.com/email Thanks Allen
