Hey,Do you have all Exchange Server Roles installed on both servers? Are those in same AD site?If so, you don't have to publish another server to internet with "ExternalURL" switch on OWA virtual directory. CAS-CAS proxying forwards the request to another Exchange box 2 which has CAS installed and then access the mailbox.Overview of Exchange Server 2007 CAS Proxying and Redirectionhttp://msexchangeteam.com/archive/2007/09/04/446918.aspxUnderstanding Namespace Planning For Exchange Server 2007http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb885052.aspxAmit Tank | MVP - Exchange | MCITP:EMA MCSA:M | http://ExchangeShare.WordPress.com

Hi Amit,Both Exchange Servers have the following roles:
Mailbox
Client Access
Hub Transport
Unified MessagingServer 1 is in a separate AD Site as it is in a different country to Server 2.Do youknow where i could get a step by step guide for CSA proxying setup?Thanks,

To configure proxying you need to remove the value of ExternalUrlon your second Exchange box.Server Configuration > Client Access > Outlook Web
Access > General Tabhttp://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa998233.aspxAlso make sure that Exchange box 2 has Integrated Authentication set to proxying work properly.Follow below article for basic understanding....Integrated Authentication and Exchange 2007http://www.shudnow.net/2007/09/27/integrated-authentication-and-exchange-2007-problem/Amit Tank | MVP - Exchange | MCITP:EMA MCSA:M | http://ExchangeShare.WordPress.com
