Hi,
I've posted this on the Exchange newsgroup as well.
I'm the network administrator (sort of) for a network
consisting of a Windows Small Business Server 2000 with 10
client workstations, most running NT4 SP6a, some on XP Pro.
There are a couple of issues at present.
1) Before we got the server, we had a peer-to-peer LAN &
all our email went to one address (bushfire@shoal.net.au).
When we got the server, we got a domain name as well
(b-es.com.au). It was set up so that all the email for a
specific person could go to that person's Outlook inbox.
However, to catch any messages addressed to the old email
address, it was set up so they went to the boss's Outlook.
He now wants them to be redirected to the receptionist's
Outlook. On the server, I've gone into the Email Adresses
tab on the boss's User Properties in Administrative
Tools/AD Users & Computers, deleted the appropriate SMTP
(b-es@shoal.net.au), and added it to the receptionist's
one. Didn't work. I've looked at the Recipient Policy in
Microsoft Exchange, but it only has the default polcy, got
nothing about this that I can see. Help!
2) Related issue. The boss wants to set up some other
general type email addresses, & have them go the
receptionist as well. Do I just add them in her Email
Addresses tab in AD Users & Computers? I tried it, but one
of them wouldn't take, it was already being used, I assume
it's related to the previous issue. ie he wants one of the
general addresses to be bushfire@b-es.com.au.
3) More of an Outlook question, but may be related to the
previous questions. We are all running Outlook 2002, & I
set up some Public folders for contacts, staff movements
etc. After I set them up, I went around & ticked the
option "Show this folder as an email Address Book" on the
various client machines & made it the default address book
etc. However, this option is greyed out on the
receptionist's Outlook. When I created the public folders,
in Permissions I set the default Permission Level to
Editor. When this problem occurred on the receptionist's
machine, I specifically added her in the permissions as an
editor. Still coudn't add the contacts as an address Book
for her. What gives?
4) Finally, any ideas about stopping SPAM. Do I push for a
corporate solution like "Trend Micro", or can I get away
with one of the freebies around such as Ella. If its for
Outlook, can it work with Exchange, or do I need something
specifically for Exchange rather than just Outlook?
