OWA pointing to 2 backend servers
Running Exchange 2003. We have one front end server and two backend active/passive clusters - how can I point OWA to both backends so all users on both exchange servers can use OWA. At the moment only users on the first backend can use OWA.
ASKER
My coworker used a case we had already open with M$ to get some new info - it seems the front end and old backend are 2003 SP1, but the new cluster that we built is SP2 - M$ said that is why it is not working.

this is not normal. You don't define a specific Back-End server on a Front-End server. It finds the back-End server based on the login information of the user logging on.
Are the two Back-End server part of the same administrative group in Exchange 2003? You should check the eventlogs on the Front-End server and the backend server that is not accessible for any clues and post them here.
