Back-end ServerWe have a a back-end server and no plans to build a front-end server. I was
told that there is a registry edit that can be made to make the back-end server think it is both the FE and BE server. Does anybody know where I can find this information?? Hi,
It would be better to tell us what you are trying to accomplish. If you have only one server it will accept all types of client access supported by a front-end server and at the same time act as a mailbox server.

forms based authentication but is grayed out and Microsoft says that they do not support it. It then says that we need to use a FE server. So if I make my server a FE-BE server this would solve my issue and would allow me to use the forms based instead of having a pop-up for login purposes. What my main goal is, is to get my users to use a login web page instead of a pop up. It justs looks more professional.

That is not possible. Forms based authentication is not available in an exchange cluster (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/834637/en-us ) and you must install a front-end server if you want to enable it.

That is why I am looking for that registry entry that would make our Exchange server look and act like a FE-BE server. I just took a 2-day exchange class and the instructor mentioned the entry but went by too fast and I was not able to copy it down. So, I know one exists.

redundancy, for failover. I am just trying to find a way so that our users can have a web-based login for OWA similiar to that of the forms-based instead of Microsoft's cheesy pop-up login. Is there a way to do this if forms based is not available? There has to be some kind of workaround.
