Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2010 Migration - Configure CAS server external domain
We run Exchange 2003 and we are migrating to Exchange 2010 SP2.
When installing the first CAS/HT server. We get prompted with the following question:
Configure CAS server external domain....
The CAS server role will be internet-facing. Enter the domain name you will use with your external CAS server (for example mail.contoso.com)
On the EX2003 env - The A record for the mail server is mail.mydomain.com my OWA is reached via webmail.syracuse.com
I guess I am a little confused with this name - Does the name means the WebApp (CAS) which will be webmail.domain.com or is the A record for your mail server?

Hi,
So what exactly is the name that you have to enter when installing the first CAS/HT server? Again my current exchange server 2003 env has mail.domain.com as the A record advertised by a public dns.
Then webmail.domain.com is the OWA name.
I was aware of the legacay name configuration, my question is what are you configuring with when installing the first CAS/HT server and you get prompted with the "Configure CAS server external domain....?
The CAS server role will be internet-facing. Enter the domain name you will use with your external CAS server (for example mail.contoso.com)
Their example is mail.constoso.com for my mail.domain.com is the name of my Exchange server as advertised on the internet.
Once this name is chosen is there any way to reconfigured to something different? If so, how?
