how to configure Owa for exchange 2007 need assistance

I upgraded from exchange 2003 to 2007 and I was curious if the web access address changed from the old one to a new one???? On the old one I go to my domain/exchange so on the new one do I go to mydomain/owa????  Or is it different???

That is true the URL has changed:

Exchange 2003:
https://domain.com/exchange/

Exchange 2007:
https://domain.com/owa/

so that is what it is going to be out on the internet for my users to type in????

Exchange 2007:
https://domain.com/owa/
The old URL format should work as well /exchange. After the user logs in they will be redirected to the /owa format URL. In a co-existence scenario I tend to suggest the /exchange is still used and then changed over time.

Amoos,

Is it domain.org or domain.com.  how is your SSL registered as?

it is domain .org

i do not know what you mean when you said "how is your SSL registered as?"

can you explain??

the only thing that is not working on the exchange 07 server is web access from the outside
use your wan ip address like this:

https://wanipaddresshere/owa

do you have a firewall or router to route this incoming traffic? if so, you will need to configure those.
what type of router/firewall do you have?

i have a watchgaurd firebox 500.  i have configured it to point the mail ip's from att to the exchange 07 server.  all mail is flowing great in and out, owa internally works fine.  it is just owa from the outside is not working.

when you say wanipaddress do you mean the ip of my exchange server???
the ip address that your isp gave you
go to http://whatismyip.com/ use that ip address in this url:

https://wanipaddresshere/owa

we just upgraded to exchange 07 from exchange 03 and on the exchange 03 everything worked fine.  now after we upgraded it is owa from the outside that is not working.  is there a configuration that missed??
Amoos,

I am assuming you have resolved this? If not you have installed Exchange Server 2007 on a windows server 2008 server? If so you are aware of the firewall changes internally to Windows server 2008?

If not let me know and I will help you out but just realised this post is a bit old so am assuming you have resolved this...
