Really? Wow - that's not what I understood from some other
sources. None of the users actually need to connect
directly to the server - they just need to connect to
Exchange's web mail system.
I've seen how it automates the creation of mailboxes for
actual users but was told that the limit was 50 users
total - not 50 users connected at one time. How would you
add additional mailboxes if they weren't for actual system
users? Or does it allow you to add more users that you
have licenses for and then just check to make sure no more
than X are logged in at once?
