Subject: Re: [ActiveDir] OT - Adding disclaimer on E2K3 on a SBS 2K3 box
Thanks Paul, as they are currently working (GMT+1), I will test again
this evening and post my findings here.
As you pointed out: troubleshooting is a real pain in the ass... Yes
I'm using VBScript, I have more experience with that then VB itself
and that makes it more easy for me.
Indeed MAPI Clients => Outlook! What a wonderfull world we live in...
I thought that they communicate with MAPI towards the Exchange server
which sends out in SMTP format. So I have a real problem with
understanding why MS didn't provide the feature themselves built-in.
Perhaps it's an idea for them for the future releases. They are
working on a lot of tools (ex. IMF) themselves to cut the need of
third-party tools, but something essential like this (I think it's
standard for a company to have a disclaimer, not?) is not available in
GUI and needs quiet some manipulation. Additionally the exception of
working with SBS and having the SMTP connector to be able to forward
mail to the SMTP of your ISP.
I know I keep hanging on that point, but I think I'm not the only
one.....
