No matter what I do with my router, and I have tried 2 different ones, when I
run the Setup your internet address wizard, enter my domain and se it to use
mail.domain.com, i get a warning that the server cannot open ports 25, 80,
443, and 987. I am NOT actually running this wizard form the IP that is
configured on the Domain's MX record. Is this why? When I bring the Server
to the site where it will be implemented and run the wizard, will it complete
when the MX points back to the IP that is correct for the Domain? Please
advise. Also ... I am used to running localhost/echange on the sbs2003
server to access OWA. How do I access OWA on the SBS2008 server?

Thanks.

It has nothing to do with the MX record. The wizard uses upnp to connect to
the router to configure it. If the router doesn't support the same upnp
implementation or have upnp enabled it will not work. In that case, you can
ignore the warning and configure the router manually.

Ditto
Ignore it
and set the ports manually...
It's one of those things that looked like a good idea on Paper
(Sorry Microsoft ;) )

Or, enable UPnP, let SBS do its thing, and then immediately disable it on
the router.

OK, so if I have configured my routers firewall to allow these ports, but the
router doesn't support upnp I will get these errors no matter what?

Do i need to run this wizard to setup the alias mail.domain.com? Can I set
this up another way manually, as in adding an Accepted Domain in Exchange
System Manager?

Also - HOW do I run OWA form the SBS2008 Server?
