Thanks Lee,
Quick question, could you expand upon the notes you made about who is
affected by the change in IIS. Would it be for all users? Or only those
associated to that particular mailbox.
Suppose I have 2 department mailboxes, each with 3 totally different users.
Mailbox1 has user1, user2, user3, and mailbox2 has user4, user5, and user6.
Would I be editing the behaviour of both mailboxes, or just the one?
I am suprised that on an account level, you can not tell exchange from the
AD account, that this is my default URL mailbox? So that when that user
accesses the URL \\server\exchange it just goes to the mailbox that they have
set as a default. Note, that these users do not already have mailboxes of
their own, they are all sharing one box, associated to a specific account in
AD.
If you could expand on the IIS thing a little more I would appreciate it.
THanks Lee.
