Steve:
Pardon my sticking an oar in, but I have a question (it is at the end). I
agree with Chris's reply, but I am just asking for additional info.
With SBS series, you only get one exchange. Within this exchange, you can
setup individual mailboxes. Each user can be assigned a mailbox, or, if you
know how, additional mailboxes with unique mailbox names. You can setup
Exchange to receive mail for more than one domain, and you can setup a
mailbox to receive only one, or more, of these domains.
Look at it this way, there is a left and right side of the @ symbol. You
can have only one left side, as in one mail box, but several on the right
side, as in domain.
What you cannot do is have jane.doe.@xyz.com mailbox and a separate mailbox
of jane.doe.@abc.com
You could have jane.doe@xyz.com and jdoe@abc.com and then setup two profiles
at the outlook user profiles with appropriate setup.
There are other solutions.
Normally, what happens is that mail to both domains go to mailboxes and the
users must sort out the mail themselves as to which domain it was delivered
to. As the majority of these cases this is where the company ABC has
changed its name to XYZ, there is no problem.
On rare occasion, there is a business practice where, strictly for example,
during the AM a worker is working for company ABC and needs to have only ABC
company email and "reply to" must have return address for ABC. In the
afternoon
PM, this worker is doing company XYZ work. And for business reasons, to the
external world, there must not be any clue there is a relation between Jane
Doe of ABC company and Jane Doe of XYZ. And if Jane Doe is working off
site, there are even more technical problems.
This is just a guess on my part, but in this case you need a second
Exchange Site (fully licensed) running on a separate member server,
(with license issues?) and then having the SBS Exchange Site set to
forward all mail for @xyz.com to this second exchange site. To be honest,
I don't know if that is allowed by SBS EULA. It may not be.
So now my question: Which of the two groups are you in, same company with
two domains, or one company masking themselves as two separate, unrelated,
companies?
Please be sure of your answer, take a real hard look at exactly what the
senior managers NEED, not just what the end-uses WANT. The solution could
be as much as the cost of a major Enterprise IT installation with a server
farm; with a ballpark cost, think about a Lexus SUV plus a years worth of
gas. On the other hand, two distinct mailbox would be lot cheaper, but
inconvenient, to the lowly wage slaves. The decision is up to the "Suits
and Ties".
