RWW / mail setup with 2 domains
|
From: Jaredean on 9 Sep 2009 16:48 i have a client that has a 2008 SBS system...they have a domain (www.domain1.com) that is setup now using the wizard and works great for their e-mail and RDP/RWW (on the network - not working off the network, but that is a different post). But, they have the URL of their actual company name (www.domain2.com) that they really want for their e-mail. Would either of these scenarios work? Scenario 1: Have Domain 1 stay the RWW login (http://remote.domain1.com) and Domain 2 be their exchange e-mail acccount (bob(a)domain2.com) Scenario 2: If 1 isn't possible using the wizards, and i can't figure a way that it would work - can i re-run the wizard with scenario #2 and have it completely update everything with domain2? So they would have the (http://remote.domain2.com) and the e-mail acccount (bob(a)domain2.com) working...it would purge the domain1 out of there? I just want the best way possible. Domain 1 was all i had to work with when setting the server up and it was a Go Daddy domain, so the wizard set things up very nicely. A day after i set thing up the host of Domain 2 called me and told me about using that one and I could use it now and that is what the owner really wants for mail. It is hosted by some little company i don't know the name of, but it isn't in the wizard, so i'm sure it will be a bit more work getting that up and running. Thanks for all of your help! jared
From: Larry Struckmeyer [SBS-MVP] on 9 Sep 2009 18:52 Hi Jared: Sorry, can't follow you, my bad. For simplicity: The server should be "server" The Internal domain should be "domain.local" The External domain should be "your_email_address_name(dot)your_extension" So in my case: Server = SBS-Server Internal Domain = mis-wizards.local External Domain = mis-wizards.com Now: The SBS server takes care of all the internal stuff. Email among users whose computers are joined to the domain just flows. It never leaves the office. The web site, www.mis-wizards.com is hosted by a hosting company somewhere in California, while I am in Florida, USA. The email addressed to lstruckmeyer at mis-wizards dot com looks to the public DNS records and adds the ip address of the wan side of my firewall and flows over the internet to the wan side of the firewall, where it is inspected for spam, then forwarded to my SBS. I can have as many public email address as I want, so long as the public DNS servers point the MX record to my A record for that domain, which contains a public IP address that the mail can find. That ip address can be in my firewall, or at an ISP mail server, where I could pop for it, or view it with web mail. When you run the Wizard in SBS, it populates your server with the information it needs to receive PUBLIC email, and has nothing to do with your internal mail. It also creates a certificate that you can use for RWW, but it is probably best to acquire a third party cert as they are easier to deal with. The last step is to create PUBLIC dns records that point the mail and the name you used in the wiz for RWW and OWA to your public ip address so that the mail and the remote workers know where to look. For RWW you can do this with the IP address, but it is not very elegant or easy to remember. Am I helping or making it worse? -- Larry Please post the resolution to your issue so that others may benefit.

From: Jaredean on 14 Sep 2009 17:11 Sorry Larry, i wasn't very clear now that i read over your reply...let me try and simplify it: I do have it setup as the Server is "server", Internal Domain is "domain.local" and the external domain is what i'm talking about. The "your_email_address_name(at)your_extension" is where i have all of the questions. I originally used "your_email_address_name(at)AAA.com" and it works great...but the owner wants to change it to "your_email_address_name(at)BBB.com" and i was wondering if there is a way to run the wizard and have that change...right now the BBB.com is also a website of theirs that is hosted elsewhere wich i don't want to change (which you tell me is no big deal) BUT i do want the ability to have the http://remote.bbb.com/remote address working... I was confused with all of tihs because i thought the wizard was like the SBS 2003 one that setup the mail, RWW, OWA, etc...so, when i tested it on site using the AAA.com it worked (remote.aaa.com/remote) but i tried it off-site and it doesn't work...i must be missing something somewhere...i'm going over tonight to try and fix things... jared On Wed, 9 Sep 2009 18:52:14 -0400, "Larry Struckmeyer [SBS-MVP]" <lstruckmeyer(a)mis-wizards.com> wrote: >Hi Jared: > >Sorry, can't follow you, my bad.

From: Larry Struckmeyer [SBS-MVP] on 17 Sep 2009 21:19 Hi: Been away, so missed responding promptly, sorry. You can only have one default reply address in the Exchange system, which is set by the wizard. You can receive mail from as many addresses as you want. In order for mail, or for /remote to connect to your SBS you must ask your ISP to create the appropriate records. That is really all there is to this. Use a search engine for recipient policy to populate the alternate smtp records in exchange, or use ADUC to create them manually. -- Larry Please post the resolution to your issue so that others may benefit.

From: Jaredean on 18 Sep 2009 18:47 Hey Larry, just saw your reply...thanks for getting back to me on this...i've been told the A record and MX record point to the server IP, but don't know because i don't know how to tweak the server to get the mail...i hesitate to make any Server 2008 changes that aren't SBS specific... jared On Thu, 17 Sep 2009 21:19:15 -0400, "Larry Struckmeyer [SBS-MVP]" <lstruckmeyer(a)mis-wizards.com> wrote: >Hi: > >Been away, so missed responding promptly, sorry. > >You can only have one default reply address in the Exchange system, which is >set by the wizard. > >You can receive mail from as many addresses as you want. > >In order for mail, or for /remote to connect to your SBS you must ask your >ISP to create the appropriate records.
