Forward emails from remote site to main site between different domains:

Suggestions:

Do it on the secondary SBS server:

1. Create a Contact for this external email account.

2. Create a new Distribution Group and add the specific users that you want
to forward messages to into the distribution group. For detailed
information, please refer to the following Knowledge Base article:

2003

3. Configure the user properties in Active Directory Users and Computers
(ADUC) to forward messages to the Distribution Group that you created in
step 1.

| Hi there,
|
| My company currently operates through 2 SBS servers, at its 2 main
| offices in the UK and US, with VPN connecivity provided by way of ISA
| Server 2004. This solution has worked fine, however we are currently
| looking at upgrading from ACT! 6.0 to a SQL based CRM package. Due to
| the major discount offered through Microsoft, and the seeming
| improvement in software with the advent of v3.0, MS CRM seemed to be
| the application of choice. However it seems as though synchronisation
| of this db between the two servers would prove very complex, so the
| best solution would be to host the db at the main site and provide
| access through the site-to-site VPN.
|
| The problems start with the need for authentication through AD for the
| MS CRM db and the fact that each SBS server uses a different domain
| name and runs its own exchange server. User account ID's have been
| replicated on each server so that each client can instantly connect to
| the remote SBS server through ISA server and so access files, so I
| think I am right in thinking that this should also provide
| authentication for MS CRM from the remote site?
|
| Providing I am right with the above, the major problem exists with the
| routing of e-mail. If it would make life easier it would not be an
| issue to adopt the same domain email extension, however would it be
| possible to forward e-mail to the secondary SBS server from the main?
|
| Any help with this or alternative suggestions grealy appreciated!
|
| Thanks
|
