After Exchange Server 2003 is installed, it can be configured to run as a front-end server. Front-end servers do not host mailboxes or public folders, but are used to relay and manage traffic to back-end servers. Front-end servers are often placed in network demilitarized zones (DMZs) between the outer firewall and the inner firewall. To convert an Exchange Server 2003 system to a front-end server, you need to edit the Exchange Server properties in the Exchange System Manager, as shown in Figure 2.21. Front-end and back-end servers are covered in more detail in Chapter 6, "Managing, Monitoring, and Troubleshooting the Exchange Organization." Figure 2.21. Convert to a front-end server by editing the Exchange Server properties in the Exchange System Manager. |
