    Setting up an Exchange Server 2007

    Locked

    by jay ·

    I have a domain that is hosted by EarthLink. This is where i go to control our Web Page and Company’s email. I want to take our companies email and put it on an Exchange Server. The question is that our External Domain name and our Internal Domain name is different. Do i have to change my internal domain name to match our external one? Exchange Server runs off of Active Directory right? I am confused on how all of that works. Any help would be great. Thanks

      No, you do not have to change the internal Domain.

      Once you get your server setup, you can add the external domain address to the users exchange attributes either using Users and Computers or Recipient Policies.

        You said i could change that in the “Users and Computers” or “Recipient Policies”. Where exactly is these options? On the Domain Controller or the Exchange Server Software? I actually havent installed the exchange server yet. Thanks again for the feed back.

          When you install exchange you will have be required to install the Admin Pack. That will install User and Computer on the Exchange server. Then when exchange installs it will add the exchange server tabs to the user properties. (In fact these properties are added to the users when the Domain prep and forest prep are performed during the exchange install)

          The exchange install will also add the Exchange system manager. This will have the recipient policies. I added the external domain address to the default policy. However you can create a new policy if you have users with different domains.

          I hope this helps

      you can still use your Earthlink to host email and use your Exchange POP3 to get it.

      Earthlink should have a POP3 server address [DNA address] and if you call em they will give it to you.

      How to setup your Exchange Server as a POP3 server?

      see msexchange.org for white papers. Their the best place for information on Exchange.

      Hi,
      You can set up aliasing in the exchange server, it will be easier if you setup Linux server with squirrel mail.
      You all need (All free):
      1) Linux (Ex: Centos5)
      2) Squirrel Mail
      3) Fetch Mail RC
      4) Setup virtual Mapping.

      Its realy very easy to setup and fetch mails between different domains without modifying domain name and user accounts.
