In addition to what the other's have said your domain name is already registered to someone else (company.com). This will require some special considerations for dns.

Hi,

I am in the process of redesigning the network in our office of about
10-15 users. We also have one remote user out of state. I have
implemented Active directory and created a domain, "corp.company.com."

We have a 768 SDSL connection with one static public IP.

Up till now we have been using ISP mail (pop3 and smtp) but have now
made the decision to host our own mail server (Exchange 2003). However
I am having trouble grasping a few issues:

1. In order for my one remote user to access the Exchange Server, I am
guessing she would have to VPN in and be an Active Directory user,
correct? Is there another way she could be seperate from the corporate
office but still get her email from our server?

I was trying to think of a way where she could stay on ISP mail and the
rest of us at the corporate office could use exchange, but this does
not seem possible or the right thing to do.

I am pretty limited in my knowledge of network infrastructure, but am
reading and trying to learn as fast as I can for this project.

This is the network setup thus far:
- Windows 2000 Server as a domain controller, DNS server, DHCP server,
and light use file server.
- Windows 2003 Server with Exchange Server 2003
- D-Link DFL-210 VPN Firewall
- Sonicwall SSL-VPN 200
- Barracuda Networks Spam Filter appliance

Basically, here is the network setup: D-Link firewall is connected to
the DSL modem. All servers and workstations are behind the firewall,
no DMZ.

Any advice given would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Asheesh
