Hello,

We are looking at buying an exchange solution for our new e-mail system. We are currently purchasing a contracted solution from an outside
company and there prices just went through the roof. So now we want to run our own. The only problem is that we have a W2K domain that reflects the current domain say "toby.com". Here is the kicker the company now wants to chanage the domian names to another domain name "juniper.com". Does the new Exchange 6.5 only allow you to service clients on the domain that it is running?

Will Exchange Server 6.5 be able to service a client at Kim@juniper.com from server@toby.com.

I was speaking to an MCSE and he told me that you cannot use an exchange 6.5 server to service any other domains other than it's own. I can't see this being right.

Can someone give me the story on this.

Tx

Toby

I recommend Ex 2000 EX2 is active director integrate making account management a snap. And Yes you can host multiple email domains per account. You will need to set you mx record with your provider to the appropriate setting. Want to get started cheap buy SBS 2000 you get Exchange Outlook ISA Front Page and Sequel. Even better follow the link
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/sbs/default.mspx
And order a Trial edition set it up take it for a spin I believe 120 days. If you like it pay for it. SBS standard costs less that 600 Premium less than 1500.00. Need help getting started well I can help with that too A couple of details SBS is a solution for 50 or less. It is a single server solution. Ships with 5 cals additional cals can be purchased for around 65.00us.
Need more help drop me a line.

Exchange 5.5, 2000, or 2003 will all be able to host multiple internet domains. If you're buying new you might as well go with the latest version as it will strech your investment out a couple more years.

Cheers!
