Exchange 2003 Outlook anywhere
hello
i have an existing exchange 2003 sp2 on windows 2003 sp3. single server deployment.
all mailboxes are hosted on this server. no front end / back end configuration, just this one server.
i had OWA setup with an internal certificate. now i am attempting to migrate to the cloud on office 365 and it specifically states that outlook anywhere needs to be set up and that a public certificate needs to be used.
i previously had OWA working and RPC over HTTP with an internal certificate.
can someone provide me with detailed steps on setting up Outlook anywhere with my current configurations. i have already purchased a UC Certificate for up to 5 domains from GoDaddy and i am downloading Exchange 2007 w SP3 now for prep to install a CAS as per microsoft instructions.
however, my problem lies in the fact that every article i have come across just has high level steps and i am unsure of how to set this up.
please help.

ok so Simon, thanks for the assist.
i am still a bit shaky here....
i do a cert req for mail.domain.com (my public URL for OWA) - then what - do i submit this request to GoDaddy for creating the details for my public certificate?
then how do i set up Exchange 2007? can i install this on a Windows 2003 SP3 server?
i need the steps to get the whole thing working. those high level steps you provided are the same levels of feedback i am getting all over the internet and it seems like much more.
how do i get exchange 2003 to work with exchange 2007 as the front end?
i have to replace the old internal certificates with the new public certificates where? exchange 2003 IIS, Exchange 2007, firewall listener???
i need a lot more help on this item.

I hate to say this, but I think you need to get a consultant in.
The reason you are seeing just the high level steps is because this is pretty basic stuff, and most bloggers (myself included) will presume that there is a level of knowledge involved.
If you haven't used Exchange 2007 before then you are in for a huge learning curve because it is nothing like Exchange 2003 from a management point of view.
You can install Exchange 2007 on to Windows 2003, as long as it is Windows 2003 X64.
The questions you have asked would take me a good hour to research and write the answers to, and as I don't get paid to answer questions on this site, that isn't something I am prepared to do.

hey Simon,
again thanks for the help.
i know a lot about Exchange and finding my way around the network.
what i was trying to say is i need a high level list of steps that are a little more like this... just for an example:
1. do cert req on Exchange 2003 from IIS
2. use cert req file to get new cert created from public CA
3. import cert into rpc virtual directory on IIS on Exch 2003
4. install rpc/http component on exchange 2007 server
5. enable outlook anywhere on exchange 2007 and configure using wizard
6. import cert into rpc virtual directory on IIS on Exchange 2007 CAS server
7. import cert into OWA listener on firewall
8. any i missed?
thanks again for any assistance.

Once you have response, run the same wizard again, pointing it at the response file.
You could probably get away with a free certificate from StartSSL.com for that part.
Then use different host names for the Exchange 2007 SSL certificate.
