[dba-Tech] Small Business Server 2003 and smartphones

Hi Jim

That's how I have understood it as well. The scenario MS describes with a separate FE/OWA server is for a larger scale setup to release the main Exchange server(s) from the web access and mobile load.

A FE server though it does and can provide another layer of security is not
really necessary. If setup correctly the SBS is all that is needed.

I thought the point of a front end server was to add another layer of
security between the web and the SBS server.  Is there some other type of
security that does away with the need for the front end server?

If you are running IIS and Exchange Server on the SBS server, you don't need
a separate 
front end server, you just forward the appropriate port to your SBS Server.
