Exchange 2003 SP1 Installed
Sunday night I installed Exchange 2003 SP1 on the production mail server at work. Everything went smoothly, although it did require a hot fix (KB831464) before it would install. I also had to re-edit all of the logon pages for OWA. We have some JavaScript that adds the domain name to the username so people don’t have to enter the domain when they logon. Plus I had to update the text to remove the references to adding the domain. Wouldn’t be bad if all the pages were in English….
Only problem I’ve run into is updating the Management Tools on an XP station with SP1. The setup program doesn’t let you pick the option to update just the admin tools. Haven’t found a way around it yet.
Next step is to install IMF and see how well it works in conjunction with the scanning we do at the gateway with SpamAssassin.
Hi, sorry I cant add to your post, but I was wondering if you had a link to how to change the logon.asp to auto accept the domain name. We use SSL and FBA, so we need to manually change this. I have searched EVERYWHERE.
Thanks for your help.
Sure do! Microsoft has a KB article, 820378, that shows how to do this. Keep in mind that you have to update ever logon.asp for all languages with this code if you have people who access OWA using different languages.
You can set default domain in IIS manage’s exhanger site propertis page on tab authorization
than you can enter only you login id in the default domain and password without any script modyfiactions.
Setting the default domain only works if you are not using forms based authentication (FBA). With FBA, the system defaults to using for the default domain which allows the system to accept UPN names (username@domain).
