I am administering one Small Business Server 2003 with the primary
function of an Exchange Server.
My current issue I am trying to resolve is that I initially setup the
AD Domain to be xx.local
That's fine, although Macs tend to have a problem using .local domains.
and I now need to change it to the users
current domain name (xxxxxxx.com) used for their POP email and
website.
Nope. . Your internal AD domain name doesn't have anything to do with your
Internet domain name.
For external POP users, you have them use whatever A records you set up in
your *public* DNS - like, mail.mycompany.com
For internal POP/IMAP users, they can use the internal servername - but it's
better not to use POP/IMAP if you have alternatives.
The users are connecting with mixed clients (Enourage 2004 and Outlook
2003).
I have an ongoing issue where the Outlook client can send to another
using the pop mail account, but the Entourage client has no way to
choose which Inbox to forward to, the POP or the Exchange.
The Entourage user must drag the appt. to the Exchange calendar in
order to have it show up on shared calendars.
All that being said, the replies and updates to meeting requests by
the Entourage client end up getting bounced back as the xx.local is
the reply address sent.
This has to do with your recipient policy - which should have @mycompany.com
as the default, and all mailboxes should inherit this setting.
I thought that I could get around at least the bouncebacks by
changing the Exchange domain name to the xxxxxxx.xom domain name and
it would take care of the bouncebacks.
Your recipient policy should take care of this. How are you handling
Internet mail? I recommend you don't use the POP connector, which it sounds
like you're using. Host your domain's mail directly via SMTP delivery.
I relize it can be very disruptive to the current environment along
with a chance of hosing the server so does anyone have any hints as
to which way to go with this?
Even if I could change the domain name I still may have an issue with
Entourage that the meeting requests amy still need to be manually
dragged to the correct calendar. Does anyone know if rules that are
set for a user via Outlook can be applied on the Entouarge client?
That's a question you might ask in an Entourage group; I don't know the
answer, sorry.
thanks in advance,
tom
