I recently upgraded from an NT 4.0 Server to a brand new Dell Poweredge 1600c Server. But, they failed to inform me that the software support I thought came with it was optional. The information and advertising were a “little” misleading in what support they provided actually was (None). In other words, “You have to pay me to make sure what I sold you works.”
Now, I am trying to learn the new Microsoft Small Business Server 2003 through books and research. There is a lot I do not understand about it and the Exchange that came with it. It is a BIG step to take from NT 4.0 to SBS 2003.
My problem right now is trying to get the Exchange to work with the pre-Installed Outlook 2003. I can’t get the Outlook 2003 Rules Wizard to automatically “Forward” emails. That had been a pretty straightforward and simple task when I used POP3 accounts. Now, with the website and emails pulled in-house behind a firewall this Rule just will not work.
The main headache is that our Sales Manager has a T-Mobile Blackberry, which he had become accustomed to having retrieve all of his emails from his Enterprise Email Account. That function stopped about three weeks ago, when T-Mobile reset their systems and Blackberry had some server problems. I am now being told, after it had worked for three months, by Blackberry that they do not and will never provide support for Microsoft Outlook 2003 for retrieving Enterprise Emails.
So, now my question is: How do I get the Automatic Forwarding Rule to work and forward this man’s Email to his Blackberry?
When I check the Status in the Microsoft Exchange Services I found:
First Organization (Exchange) | Tools | Monitoring and Status | Status | Default Microsoft Exchange Services….Stopped
Yet, when I look in Services I can find no Exchange Services that are Stopped.
I can’t find any reference to this even in the Microsoft Exchange Website.
