Error - View Single Post - OWA on SBS 2003

**driverdownloads** · 22-May-2007, 09:38 AM

I am working with SBS 2003 in my lab. I want to double check my notes with you guys. While on the one hand I found these lists of ports to open on your router for incoming connections to the SBS box:

SMTP 25 - Simple Mail Transfer Protocol
HTTP 80 - Home Page Web
SSL 443 - Home Page Web Secured
RWW 444 - Second SSL Secured on alternate port
PPTP 1723 - VPN Connections
RDP 3389 - Remote Desktop Protocol
RWW2 4125 - Remote Web Workpla

Also add?:

21 FTP Enables external and internal file transfer
110 POP3 Enables Exchange to accept incoming POP3 mail
123 (UDP port) NTP Enables the system to synchronize time with an external Network Time Protocol (NTP) server
143 IMAP4 Enables Exchange to accept incoming IMAP4-compliant messages
220 IMAP3 Enables Exchange to accept incoming IMAP3-compliant messages
500 IPSec Enables external VPN connections by using IPSec
1701 L2TP clients Enables external L2TP VPN connections
4500 IPSec Internet Key Exchange (IKE) Network Address Translation (NAT) traversal

But at this point, learning slowly, I only want OWA... that seems to be working with just 443 open?! And while it's only a lab, the other steps I would want when we do this in a production server is a) get a paid certificate (not home grown) b) rename (disable?) administrator account and c) other users use complex passwords that expire every so often?
