Change Default Accepted Domain in Exchange 2007 Standard

by jaymen . Updated 17 years, 1 month ago

Greetings, all.

I’ve just built a new Exchange 2007 installation on a new domain. This is for a one-server network — DC, Exchange, and File/Print — on a network with less than 20 users. All updates have been applied to Exchange and Windows.

I goofed while building it because the Default Accepted Domain is set to the domain name (“jd.local”) instead of the public registered domain name (“jd.com”).

Using the Exchange Management Console GUI I’ve created “jd.com” as a new Accepted Domain, but cannot find a way to set it as the Default so I can change all my users to have the “user@jd.com” email address format. Nor can I delete the “jd.local” Accepted domain because it is the default.

Assuming this is permitted, I actually have three questions:

1) How can I change the Default Accepted Domain from “jd.local” to “jd.com”?

2) Assuming an otherwise default installation, what will I need to do to change all my users accounts to have the correct email address (“user@jd.local” to “user@jd.com”)?

3) Will 2) set “jd.com” as the default email address for any new users created?

Many thanks for any help,

Jaymen
