Ok I have Small Business Server 2003
OWA is installed by default with SSL during setup

I can type in https://mail.mydomain.com/exchange and it works great

I also set up a little script i found where if the user types in
http://mail.mydomain.com/exchange without the "s" it redirects to the above site

My question is this, how can I get it so either one of these addresses redirects as well

http://mail.mydomain.com
https://mail.mydomain.com

Basically removing the /exchange portion

Have a look in the root folder of your Default Web Site, usually c:\inetpub\wwwroot . There should be a file named default.asp . Rename this (in case you need the original back again in the future), and create your own using notepad. The contents should look like this single line:

<% Response.Redirect https://yourservername/exchange %>

I am curious about this aswell, so I hope you don't mind me joining in;

I have a 2k3 STD server running OWA and it works fine with webmail.domain.com/exchange. I dont have that default file in my folder, but I have tried another workaround wich is to add a redirect in IIS manager (Right click, Properties on Default web site, go to home directory and change that to "A redirection to an url" and add /exchange to the textbox. I assume this does the same thing. However, when I do this, I get the login box, but I just get a the "This page cannot be displayed" after logging in.

I figured it out now, just follow this howto: http://www.amset.info/exchange/owa-defaultpage.asp and remember to put a little v on "A directory below URL entered".. wich I had forgotten :)

I have this the same problem. I did what you advise by creating a default.asp with that line and still the problem is not resolved.

my site already works on both HTTP & SSL requests already which is the following:

http://mail.mysite.com/exchange redirects to https://mail.mysite.com/exchange

but I want it without the "/exchange" so that they'll just use http://mail.mysite.com

anyone who knows the solution to this? thanks in advanced!
