How do I setup a MAPI alias for Exchange? |
|
|
Hi,
I have installed exchange SBS for a company. The domain that exists is
domain.local but the company has a registered domain.com.au.
I have setup a DNS zone for the domain.com.au on their SBS server with host
and MX records etc.
When i setup the Outlook clients the Microsoft Exchange server in the MAPI
profile will always resolve to servername.domain.local.
How do i get the Exchange server to respond to alias mail.domain.com.au in
the MAPI profile?
Thanks
Jason

You do not need to do that. Their MX records, etc., are held on the *public*
nameservers - you shouldn't be hosting your public DNS in house unless you
have set it up with two separate, dedicated DNS servers (not your SBS box),
and if you aren't trying to do this, there is no need to do what you've done
in your AD DNS...

Is this for RPC over HTTP purposes for external/laptop users?
If not, there's nothing to worry about - the internal Exchange server name
is fine for all clients.

Your right.
But that is not how i setup the DNS.
The DNS is only for internal resolution of the name mail.domain.com.au. As
you may know, if an internal user tries to connect to mail.domain.com.au and
the ip resolves to an external IP then any possible future POP3/SMTP clients
working from inside the private LAN will not be able to connect. Sure i could
hardcode the IP for these clients but then they could not connect from
outside the LAN.

Yep. It is for RPC over HTTPS and i just checked it again and it is working.
When i first checked it i think i had an invalid config.
Thanks again for the help.

Note that it would have taken less time for us to get to this point if you'd
put "RPC over HTTP" in the subject line and just stated that you need to
make sure the Exchange server name works both internally and externally - it
wasn't very clear what you were trying to do.

Thanks for the TIP.
Is there a way to save the basic logon credentials so that it doesn't prompt?
