Subject: RE: Exchange setup questionSure... 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..

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.Neil

Conversation: 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.

Subject: Exchange 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 foundWhere 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
