Hi,

You probably don't want to allow port 80 (HTTP) to your Exchange server from the Internet. Port 443 (HTTPs) is ok but you need to have SSL setup on the OWA server. You will also need a certificate easier to buy a cert from someone like GoDaddy.

Another guide, specific to the TZ170. The instructions are for HTTPS (port 443) but the method applies to all services:

Hi,

I understand the above but when I put my external IP address in by browser i simply set the sonic wall management console. How do I get it to forward by address w.x.y.z/exchange to my servers internal address w.x.y.z/exchange?

Do I not need to set up a forward (access) rule which using an external ip and port to forward to internal ip and port?

In short how do I get my sonic wall to distinguish between the external IP being for management or accessing OWA.

I figured once I have this working with IPs I can then configure DNS.

Any advise welcome
