Exchange, Exchweb and Public redirection

[Jagruti23]

We do have a problem with Exchange 2007 OWA clients. We have migrated the mailbox part of 2003 during the weekend, but it seems there is a problem with the opening of OWA. Users are accustomed to using / exchange in the URL that should be good, as if their mailbox is on the new server it should send the user to the directory / owa. This works, though that he actually sent to / owa / exchange. If you remove / exchange of course it works, but for some reason the redirect did this great addition. We use HTTP redirect on IIS7 default Web site to send users to the correct address for OWA. I can see that as a consequence / exchange, / exchweb and folders / public for some reason have inherited this redirection of HTTP. Is this could be the cause? Users who have their mailbox on the server 2003 proxied correctly. Works folder public access to very good (public folders have been copied across to the new server yet). Please help to solve this issue.

Redirection is a way to ensure that users always receive the Web page you want. Redirection refers to the process using the web server configured to spend a redirect message to the client. HTTP response status code "302 Found" is, for example, the most common method for performing a redirect. The redirect message tells the client the request for a new position forward attempted. In particular, users are redirected from the message in another file, another directory or another site.

Redirection is useful in the following scenarios:

• You want to change the location of your site and redirect the user to the new location.
• Their website is under construction and part of the site does not want to expose.
• The content is not on the server.
• The name of a virtual directory have changed, and will have user access to files from the old URL.

By default, Internet Information Services (IIS) 7, the integrated automatic HTTP redirect feature to redirect users with the help of any URL or virtual directory without having to write custom scripts.
