Exchange 2007 SP1, Windows 2003 R2 X64, SP2 - OWA, IIS.
Hello All -
I have a craszy issue that i just cannot nail. here is the deal: I have 2 exchange servers (exchange1 and exchange2) 2 DC's with DNS (SRV4, SRV3). IIS and OWA are installed and configured (owa itself is working for Exchange2 and Exchange1).
However here is the issue: Whenever i browse to the server exchange1/owa (so https://exchange1/owa) it redirects me to the clients old external fqdn name. Instead of going to itself https://exchange1/owa (and landing there) using firefox i see that it says connecting to http://former.fqdn.com.
I do not get this problem on the other server. I have checked dns records, cached dns records, host files, outlook web services, ews, active sync etc. and no where can i find the fqdn.... http://former.fqdn.com.
This is a very critical issue....
Please advise...
Thanks,
Robert

What is the domain external MX record pointing to?
Do you have your external domain name published in DNS? i.e. company.com? Can you tell us what DNS zones are listed in DNS?
Where is your CAS server sitting inside your private network or in your DMZ? Do you have ISA?
How is your firewall rule setup? In specific for https port 443??
Sorry need the above information to help

Check extrenal DNS records...
A record - poiting to public IP address of Exchange Server(s)
MX record - poiting to public Ip address of Exchanger Server(s)
Fiewall -
Make sure internal ips are natd to public address
ports 443 of internal mail IP
port 25 of internal mail IP

External mail record did point to this ip (however) that record is not being used. what i dont understand is why the server inside the network is redirecting to an outside i address?
there is no isa
the cas server is seitting inside the network and is not dmz'd
the firewall is setup to allow 443 into this server.

ok so if you do a nslookup internally to your exchange servers what does it resolve as? The correct private IP of the exchange server?
if you could also do https://exchangeserver / http://exchangeserver
Do you get the default IIS splash screen?
Do you get the default IIS splash screen?
ASKER
Yes, iis works correctly. its jsut the stupid owa folder.
ASKER
basically the best way of describing it is this: when you hit the owa folder it redirects you to "the fqdn.com" but when you use exchange or autodiscover or exadmin it works just fine.
OK could you do the following as a test please I would like you to redirect the default IIS splash screen to the owa directory
so after you have implemented the above you can then do the following: https://exchangeserver and it should automatically redirect to https://exchangeserver/owa
1. Start the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) IIS snap-in.
2. Right-click Default Web Site, click Properties, and then click the Home Directory tab.
3. Under When connecting to this resource, the content should come from, click A redirection to a URL.
4. In the Redirect to box, type /owa
5. Under The client will be sent to, click A directory below this one.
6. Stop and start the Default Web Site.
Does this resolve correctly?

6. Stop and start the Default Web Site.

Also make sure you do not apply the /owa to all directories so once you click apply click cancel and then cancel otherwise it will redirect all virtual directories to /owa which we dont want we just want the default splash screen to redirect
ASKER
I did what you asked and the same issues still occurs. i even restarted the iis service*
so this happens even if you attempt to do https://ip / https://hostname correct?
ASKER
yes with ip and hostname same result...
Do you have any pages setup inside the /owa virtual directory to perform redirection?
any chance you could post some screen shots of the /owa virtual directory contents and properties?
ASKER
no... but what if i coped the owa virtual directory from the other server??? (i have already removed and recreated the default virtual directories)
No do not do this....ok open the exchange management shell and go to server config - client access and right click the owa directory on the general tab what is the internals and external URL set to?
Could you also do the following in exchange management shell:
Get-OwaVirtualDirectory
And post the output on here please

ASKER
yes i can do that....here is the screen shot...i copied the files from the other server into this directory and still i get the same issue...
owa-issues-custom.JPG
owa-issues-custom.JPG
ASKER
i will put back the original files...
Ok have you tried the steps in my last post?
And in the owa directory above on the server that is not resolving could you open casredirect.aspx and redir.aspx and post the contents here please

ASKER
i am not comfortable posting the output of the Get-OwaVirtualDirectory ... What are you looking for in there?
Ok I am looking for server what is listed in this section is it the correct server?
Also what is the external and internal URL's set to above?
Also what is the external and internal URL's set to above?
The aspx files look fine
How is your network setup? i.e. do you use cisco? do you use VLANS? if so are both on the same vlan? if not using VLANS are both these servers on the same subnet? You dont use cisco routers do you? have you set natting up on these?
ASKER
there is not cisco anywhere here... no vlans... 1 sonicwall and thats doing natting for the ext >> int ips. pretty basic... also i cannot find mention of anything other than exchange1 or exchange2 in the output of the requested command.
Ok back to my DNS question above which zones have you setup for dns? private only or public too?
ASKER
I have 4 dns zones...
1. is the_msdsc.local
2. is the .local domain name for ad
3. is an fqdn for a different fqdn site
4. is another different fqdn for a different fqdn site.
None of the above zones have anything to do with where this server is redirecting...

3. is an fqdn for a different fqdn site
4. is another different fqdn for a different fqdn site.

Ok and finally what are the internal and externals URLS set to as my question above?
ASKER
they are set to the correct respiective server names and the correct external dns name.
ASKER
i reset the this morning... when i started to try and fix this.
Yikes dude I am out of ideas here Can you look at the IIS logs on the server causing you problems and see if you can see anything out of the ordinary? Surely if this is resolving to an external FQDN then it will be hitting your firewall can you see where the request is coming from via monitoring the traffic on the firewall?
ASKER
here is the log file entries...
