Hi,
I have a problem with a front-end/back-end Windows2000/Exchange2000 configuration. The front- and back-end servers are on seperate interfaces of a PIX 515 UR, where the back-end server is on the higher security level. The servers are in the same domain.
All the communication between the servers works fine (like domain logons, accessing shares, etc.) but the information store on the front-end server won't start. I tried replacing the PIX with a router and everything worked fine so its something in the PIX that causes the problem.
In networktraces made, it looks like there's a packet being passed to the Target DC which the Target DC cannot understand, whether the data is truncated, missing, etc... The traces show that the front end server is trying to bind to the DC however the DC comes back with a status of UNBIND. I lookes like something in the firewall is stripping data back to the DC or at least data passing the firewall is somehow getting changed.
Can anyone help me.
Thanks.
Frank
