Sure... as long as the Exchange server isn't a BDC, or PDC.
Exchange(5.x) doesn't really care about domains so long
as the server isn't a participant in that role(i.e. PDC, BDC). Make sure you get
all your service accounts changed over to the new domain, as all replication and
MTA transfers will break. OR you give those service accounts permission(trust)
in the new domain.. or you create names exactly the same with the same password
in the new domain (NT 4.0 undocumented "feature").
WIN/XCHG 2000, however, is a whole new ballgame..

RE: Exchange setup question
yes! That is EXACTLY it... Can I safely change the
domain on the server
from vgreen.com to
villagegreen.com?
It is an NT 4.0 SP6a box running Exchange 5.5 SP4

Looks like your DNS settings (on your Exchange server) are set
such that
your Exchange server's hostname is mailhost,
and the domain name is
vgreen.com.
That's how your Exchange box answers on port 25, anyway. A
reverse
lookup shows vgreen.com as well.

Exchange setup question
Subject: RE: Exchange setup
question
Grrrrrr.... Why can't I remember to include ALL relevant info???
It is 5.5.
I do have villagegreen.com set as my reply address even though
both
domain addresses still work for me. If I look
at the headers for my
e-mail though, it still says they
were received by mailhost.vgreen.com.
Is it maybe not an
Exchange issue? Could it be related to how the
server is named or my DNS?
What determines that part of the header info?

Hi Eric.
What version of exchange have thou?
You can have many SMTP domains in Exchange, but with MAPI
clients, only
one 'reply address'. If you want to
change users to the new domain for
replying and still
retain inbound for the old one in Exchange5.5 you can
do
one of two things:
1) manually open the properties page for each user for which
this change
is required. Select the email
addresses tab and add a new internet
address with the
full villagegreen.com domain. Select the new domain in
the window and click 'set as reply address'
2) for larger groups of users, a directory export to csv is
more
practical. You can add the new column (which Kevin
or someone will
provide... 'secondary-proxy-address' I
think) and reimport. There is a
KB article on bulk
import/export at the source.
You could also play around with Site Addressing.

setup question
Hello!
Way back in the day when our Exchange server was installed, it
was
installed with the vgreen.com domain. We are
now the villagegreen.com
domain. Does this really
matter? I think it does. It seems like when
we send e-mail, it says it comes from vgreen.com. Is this
true? How
can I check this? When an admin
friend of mine replies to my mail, he
sees the following
message in his firewall logs:
vgreen.com.191.216.216.in-addr.arpa 216.216.191.226: can't
verify
reverse address - hostname not found
Where is this reverse lookup looking?
Is there a way to change Exchange, without reinstalling to
reflect the
villagegreen.com domain?
p.s. What is the best way to look at the headers of e-mail messages?
Eric
