Exchange 2003 - adding more email domains
Friday 27th July 2007 10:04 AM
You have Microsoft Exchange 2003 in your business, usually you will have the domain set to - yourcompany.local and this is what the users will be logging on to, then you'll have your internet domain, which will be yourcompany.co.uk, obviously your full domain name as registered on the internet.
You now decide you want to be able to send and recieve emails for an additional domain - maybe myothercompany.co.uk
The procedure is performed on the server, logged in as administrator.
Run the Exchange System Manager
Expand the - Recipients - folder
Highlight the - Recipient Policies - Folder
Right click the - Default Policy - entry and left click on properties
Select the - E-Mail Address (Policy) - Tab
Click the - New - button
Select - SMTP Address - and OK
Type in your domain - @myothercompany.co.uk
Ensure there's a tick in the "This Exchange Organisation is responsible for all mail delivery to this address"
Click - OK -
This has taken you back to the Defaultt Policy Property Policies box with your new address listed in there,
Put a tick in your new address entry and select - OK -
If you want all your users to use this email address then select YES on the dialogue box that pops up.
You're done.
Depending on the size of your Active Directory list tis can take 30 seconds to set up or a few minutes so give it 5 to be sure it's done and test the email.

Welcome to the blog
Wednesday 25th July 2007 9:01 AM
Welcome to the PCFella blog, who is PCFella ?
PCFella is me, I have been a PC based engineer since the days of IBM PC's and XT's and have been a site based engineer for the main part of that.
In 1987 I underwent Apple Training and am proud to say that my Apple Passport has one of the lowest serial numbers in the country, although the photo is decidedly dodgy...
I worked for a short while with the Apple dealership in Manchester and later returned to PC based engineering, after 10 years experience as a service engineer I went self employed and ran what was to quickly become a very successful IT consultancy.
As with most small businesses I quickly found that I was no longer a PC fella, I was becoming more of an accountant and customer relations fella, and my annual holidays now seemed only to last Friday till Monday, what I needed was more staff and bigger premises, but this was only going to slow me down, training staff, changing business plans and generating even more business etc.
To cut a long story short I had an opportunistic phone call from an old friend and acquaintance who was now a director in a very successful Mac house, they really wanted to break in to the PC market but while Macs were their forte didn't have the PC expertise to make the change.
I joined as a consultant and soon after I was invited to be a director of the company which I accepted.
These days, the company shares it's concerns between PC, Mac and Internet based solutions, we provide ADSL installations, can perform cabling and infrastructures to virtually any level, provide Server and Workstation sales, firewalls to EAL level 4, Web based solutions, we provide the in-house developed Homebuild website system which you are looking at now. All this and I now get proper annual leave...
That brings us up to date, so from now on in less about how we got here and more about what is going on here and now, I hope the following entries in the blog will be primarily easy fixes to everyday problems but as we go on who knows what will appear in here. If you have any comments - make them, any disses - keep em', life's too short for them.
