The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Best Practices: Exchange Server Setup

Asked by Blackmoon91 in Network Software Firewalls

Tags: best, conduit, crypto, dmz, practice

Group,
Wanted everyone's input on a Exchange server setup. I have read quite a few of the posts in the message group and see that it is NOT advised to place your Exchange server in the DMZ. I would like your input on how to make this work in the most functional way possible but also retain security. We would like clients on the outside world to be able to use OWA on PC's as well as PDA's and also have the option to VPN in to gain full functionality. I will provide the config below, the Exchange server currently has a IP on our intranet of 192.168.0.3 for reference with our gateway at .1 We currently have dynamic IP addresses however we have server side clients that will map to our FW's address. I believe this question for me is difficult so I will award points accordingly. Thanks in advance, let me know if you need any other info. Here is the config:
