RE: Exchange "Light" setup opinions wanted...



Hi David,

Thanks for your updating.

I am happy to know the information is help to you.

If you use POP3 connector, it may download e-mails from ISP every 15 mins.
There is some third party POP3 software which can transfer mails without
interval.

If you have any concern on this issue, pleas don't hesitate to let me know.

Have a nice day.

Best regards,

Robert Li(MSFT)

<Hello David,
<
<Thanks for posting in our newsgroup.
<
<From your description, I know you want to do the following thing:
<
<1. Download POP3 E-mails for ISP and router to user's mailbox.
<
<2. Configure shared calendar for 2 users.
<
<3. Centralized backup.
<
<4. Monitoring the Exchange server.
<
<First, your plan is workable and you can configure SBS to get your goal.
<
<Based on my research, I'd like to give you the following suggestions:
<
<Info 1: To download POP3 E-mails for ISP and router to user's mailbox, you
<can run CEICW to configure P0P3 connector.
<
<1. Run the CEICW and configure the network settings.
<2. Go through firewall option.
<3. In the Internet E-mail tab, please click to "Enable Internet E-mail".
<4. In the Email Delivery method page, please choose the correct email
<delivery method. If you use DNS to route emails, please choose this
option.
<5. In the E-mail Retrieval Method page, check the "Use the Microsoft
<Connector for POP3 Mailboxes" check box, click Next.
<6. In the E-mail Domain Name page, enter your registered e-mail Internet
<domain name, (i.e. domain.com).
<7. In the POP3 Mailbox Accounts page, click Add and add the following
<information:
<
<E-mail server
<Port
<Password
<Mailbox Type
<Exchange User
<
<8. Input the correct information in the rest page and finish the wizard.

<
<Info 2: Configure shared calendar for 2 users.
<
<Please see the following article:
<
<Share my Calendar
<http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook/HP011111491033.aspx
<
<Info 3: Centralized backup.
<
<Please see the following white paper:

<
<Info 4: Monitoring the Exchange server.
<
<To do this, you can user the SBS 2003 Monitoring and Reporting feature:
<
<1. Open Server Management.
<2. Click Monitoring and Reporting.
<3. Click Set Up Monitoring Reports and Alerts.
<4. Select Modify existing settings and click Next.
<5. Select Receive a daily performance report in e-mail, View the usage
<report in Server Managent, Receive a usage report in e-mail every other
<week and click Next.
<6. Input the your e-mail address to receive report.
<7. Follow the other steps and click Finish.
<
<You can also user the SBS RWW to access the SBS desktop from remote. To
<access RWW, one can access http://fully_qualified_domain_name/remote
<remotely, or http://servername/remote locally.Then you can logon to SBS's
<desktop.

<
<For your question "Any loss of functionality if the email is not being
<routed through the Exchange Server before reaching the users?", general
<speaking, if the POP3 connector is properly configured, it will work fine.
<If the e-mail is failed to download from ISP, it will still store in ISP's
<mailbox. If the POP3 connect failed, you can see the error in application
<log.
<
<Hope the information helps.
<
<If you need further assistance, please don't hesitate to let me know.

<<Hello,
<<
<<I'm ready to configure Exchange for our company of 2 users. We have
<<been using externally hosted email from multiple providers (ugh!)
<<POPing into Outlook. We desire to get shared calendar functionality
<<going and centralized backups. Since I'm the part-time "IT guy" I'm
<<trying to keep things as simple as possible.
<<
<<This is my plan:
<<- users continue downloading directly from SMTP/POP3 for email service
<<- messages download to exchange profile mailbox (for centralized
<<backup)
<<- full use of exchange calendars
<<
<<Since I am not available during working hours I like the idea of
<<continuing for now at least with the off-site mail hosting. It will
<<also get things up and running faster and with fewer issues, since I
<<don't have any expereince with Exchange Server.
<<
<<Is there anything I'm missing that might steer me otherwise? Any loss
<<of functionality if the email is not being routed through the Exchange
<<Server before reaching the users?
<<
<<David
