Re: Private Domain Name #1 (.local) vs Public Domain Name #2 (.com)

Hi Oswego:

Do NOT create an SBS server with the name of mycompany.com. This will cause
you big headaches.

Instead, have your ISP create an MX , PTR and if possible a SPF recored
pointing your mail to your public ip address.

Then run the CEICW. There you can set the default reply address for your
exchange users.

Greetings,

I have an intersting issue that I've inherited from my company's original
SBS 2003 setup & configuration and would love some outside input for
possible
solutions.

SBS 2003 Sp1 was originally setup without Exchnage services active as the
company had chosen to continue using pop email services along with their
public web-hosting package via a local ISP (poor planning for the future
I'd
say!)..

My company now wants to start using Exchange for email and collaboration
and
now I have the following issue:

The SBS server is configured with an internal domain name
(sbs.ServerName.local) and and the public domain name that the ISP is
hosting
is actually the one I need to use (www.ComapnyName.com).

I understand that SBS 2003 does not support Domain Rename using
Rendom.exe,
so my only options at this point is to reinstall SBS 2003 and configure
the
new domain structure to match the public .com domain (argh!) - or try to
forward email traffic from the the www.CompanyName.com domain to Exchange
and
then have outbound smtp traffic appear as if it is coming from
www.CompanyName.com and not the sbs.ServerName.local domain.

This is where I get a headache... any ideas to get me pointed in the right
direction would be most helpful - Cheers!
