Re: Mail enable distribution group

that will not work...how could it? you cannot accept email for any external
email domain...if you had a group configured in your AD with an address of
group@xxxxxxxx, any email addressed to that address would go to the server/s
that "Coke" has configured MX records for...

email address external to our org.

oops...sorry...

"Mail-enable the distribution group with" what outside address? an
address
external to your org? or do you mean you just want people to be able to
send to that group from outside your organization?

Let me start from the begining:
*5 users created in AD as mail-enabled
*all 5 have same email address so can not have it in AD for each user
*create distribution group and add all 5 to it
*Mail-enable the distribution group with the outside email address
(DON'T
KNOW HOW TO DO THAT) That is my problem. First 3 bulets are covered and
working.

Ok. Sales reps don't have mailboxes in our Exchange. They have
personal
mailboxes that need to be tied with AD accounts.

We are implementing new policy for VPN, intranet and portal
access
and
currently have 3 different databases of users. I am consolidating
all
in
to
AD so Sales Reps can have single user id and password to use for
all
3.
In addition, customer service would like to have them in GAL so
they
can
do
they corespondence more eficiently and do massmail and other
communication
stuff. At the moment, only one user in CS has these sales reps in
her
CONTACTS. That information needs to be accessible by all of the
employees
in
the company and still tie in to AD for login purposes mentioned
above.

Well, maybe I should step back and let you educate me. Maybe I
have
it
wrong.
The people I am talking about are Sales Reps. Some have same
email
address
(one for the whole office of 10 sales reps). When I create
users
in
AD,
I
am
omiting the mailbox creation portion. Then, when attempt to
make
the
mailbox
mail enabled, it lets me do it for one mailbox but not for the
rest
as
it
reports email allready existing on system. So I thought
creating
a
distribution group with perticular outside email address and
placing
users
in
that group will solve the issue. So if you would like to reach
Peter
from
ABC
office, you will email the distribution group rather than
Peter
it
self.
Please let me know if we are on the same page now. This is my
vision
on
how
to make it happen. if you have any other, better ideas, please
feel
free
to
share them. I am always open to education.

Exaclty, but can they be members of the distribution group

email address?

If you want a recipient in your GAL that points to an

create a mail-enabled contact. If you want mail that goes

member
of
the
group.

Multiple users cannot have the same e-mail address, sorry.

How can I enable distribution group with an outside
email
address? I
have
bunch of users in AD that have same email address and
thought
to
put
them
in
to distribution group and assign the outside email to
it.
Well, I
don't
know
how to do it. I can create an exchange mailbox for the
distribution
group
but
can not associate the group to outside mail address.
Please
help.
