Re: SBS2008 and Office Live Small Business Email?

Here's the response I got from Office Live support:

"you have done full re-delegation (website and email accounts) of your
domain to Microsoft Office Live. Please note that after full re-delegation,
it is not possible to move your e-mail accounts back to their previous
location. However, you can cancel your domain name with us and then you would
be able to move your domain back to your domain registrar to use their
servers.

In addition, if you want to use the same domain to maintain your website
with Microsoft Office Live in future, you will have to wait for 90 days from
the date of cancellation of domain and after that you would be able to
re-delegate your domain again. When you do re-delegate your domain name to
Microsoft Office Live, please select Partial Re-delegation (Only Website) and
then you can use only website contents with us."

Yuck! I still want the Office Live integration for the SBS website, but I
misunderstood how the Exchange/Email integration (or lack therof) worked.

Sounds like it's going to cost me 90 days... That's not very fun at all.

I'll give GoDaddy a shot and see if they have any other options for me.

Thanks.

You're right.

I've contacted ComCast business services and it's only $15/mo extra for
"business service" (same bandwidth, but I can have all the open ports I
want).

Now I just need to clean up the mess I'm faced after redirecting my domain
to Office Live.... Especially the email...

Thanks.

Short answer? You don't. Office Live is a hosted mail service and you'd
use
that *instead* of Exchange. You'll have to reconfigure outlook on all of
your clients. Personally I think this is not the right direction to go.
You'd be better served talking to your ISP and getting the service
unblocked. You could also purchase a smarthost service such as dynDNS
that
uses a non-standard port that your ISP is probably not yet blocking.

Unless, of course, you are abusing a residential account for business
purposes, in which case you should upgrade your account to a business
account. Otherwise you run the risk of getting disconnected, service
terminated, or just playing cat-n-mouse with your ISP and thus getting
(and
providing) poor customer service.

My ISP has blocked incoming email ports, so I would now like to use my
Office
Live Small Business email.

What do I need to do to hook up SBS2008 to use Office Live Small
Business
Email accounts?

Thanks.
