Answer by Andrew S
Get a job. You’ll probably find your existing certs only get you a foot in the door and you won’t actually be using those until you get some experience and seniority – you certainly won’t be trusted on critical infrastructure. In the end industry certs can only you so far. You need academic qualifications and experience to fill in the rest.

Question by Garry: Can I use two e-mail clients on a single operating system for configuring two different exchange server IDs?
Both the clients I want are to be Outlook as I wish to maintain similar .pst files for my backup…..

Yes, you can use 2 different clients for 2 different accounts. But there is no need to try to figure out how to install Outlook twice, you can just create 2 user profiles in Outlook, one for each account.

Are you getting an NDR? You need to look at the exchange settings, under their user account properties. Make sure they have the correct addresses etc… and that they are setup properly. (i.e. smtp looks fine, x.400 looks fine, any other settings look fine). If you are getting an NDR, your answer will be in there. If you aren’t getting one, you may open telnet to the box so you can telnet to it and try to send mail to the user from there. The telnet output is pretty helpful sometimes and it will give you hints as to why they aren’t getting mail.

Answer by Ben
Unless you go Office 2010 through your work or school, you downloaded it illegally. In that case, you have a cracked version of it that may not work correctly. If you want it to work, I suggest you purchase a legal copy.

If you do have a legal copy, then you simply haven’t set up Outlook yet. You need to set up an email account with Outlook in order to use it. Exchange is one of the three types of email accounts you can use with outlook (the others are IMAP and POP3- Hotmail uses POP3, Yahoo and Gmail use IMAP). Look up the settings for your email account online and set the appropriate fields.

Question by jnfootrocks: Exchange Server 2007 can send internet mail, but not receive it.?
I have Exchange server 2007 running on Windows Server 2003. I have gotten it to send emails to internet addresses, but it does not receive them. I tried to send one from my yahoo address, but i get a mailer-deamon reply with something about client not authenticated. Please help me configure my server. Thanks.
The ports are def open, ping, telnet, etc work. I think it has to do with an option somewhere that I am supposed to set an option to anonymous. I just cant remember where.

Answer by Elmer Fudd
Do you have an MX (mail exchange) record pointing to your mail server?

Go to the place / site you purchased your domain name, look for dns options and create an mx record with the ip address of your mail server!

Your mail server has to be pingable (not blocked by firewalls or ports open so mail can get through (25, 110 ……))

Now try!

Answer by kawboy_zx6r
Without more information, it’s hard to be real specific, but in general, here’s what you need to do.

1. The server must be up and running
2. It must have Internet access
3. Your ISP has to register your mail server in DNS.

1. Install the server, add your users and make sure that relay is OFF. Otherwise you’re gonna get blacklisted all over the internet

2. Access to the internet can be done by putting the server on your DMZ and using a public, static IP address or configure your firewall to direct all port 23 traffic to that server and use an internal IP

3. Tell your ISP that you need an MX and an A record created for your public IP address.

If you give me more information about your environment, I can give you more specific answers, but that’s pretty much the basic guidelines for setting it up.

Is There an Exchange Server 2007 32-Bit Version?

Question by abcdc: Is There an Exchange Server 2007 32-Bit Version?
Hi, I am hoping to deploy Exchange Server for my home network. Since my two server systems are Windows Server 2008 Standard (32-bit), I will not be able to run a 64-bit software. I am confused about the 64-bit only thing with Exchange 2007, is there also a 32-bit version? Alternatively, is there a trial version still availible for Exchange Server 2003 somewhere (Microsoft’s website doesn’t seem to have it).

Thanks!

Best answer:

Answer by Jamfo
No… Exchange Server 2007 requires a 64-bit operating system.

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb123811(EXCHG.80).aspx

Q: Will I need the 64-bit version of Windows Server 2003 to run Exchange Server 2007?

A: You will need the 64-bit version of Windows Server 2003 or Windows Server 2003 R2 to deploy Exchange 2007. Volume licensing customers can exchange their 32-bit version of Windows Server 2003 for the 64-bit version any time by using their media kits.

Microsoft has pulled the free evaluation version of Exchange 2003.

However, there are training books available that include a demo CD-Rom. You might be able to find one of those.

I work at a company using xo communation web-based email downloaded to outlook 2003 with MAPILabs installed for contacts/ Calendar sharing. The CEO’s mailbaox is over 6gb on his laptop. Users aren’t running batch file to backup there pst files. XO webmail sucks. I need help!

Answer by skiven
Good luck. You might look for some examples of what has happened to other companies/users who didn’t back up their mail. Don’t be pushy but let him know that it would save IT costs in the long run as you will probably be doing less support on mail related issues.

RightFax, receiving faxes to email?

Posted on by

Question by Bad Boy with a Gud Heart: RightFax, receiving faxes to email?
I have RightFax 8.5 and Exchange server 2010.

I am interesting about how to configure it to:
1) Receive inbound faxes to outlook email client

On the old mail server both pop3 and SMTP could be accessed on the same server, on our Exchange 2010 configuration POP3 is on one server, SMTP is on another. Having them on separate servers is a common practice. The sticking point is that the RightFax Email gateway does provide a way to split the functions – it does not have a separate configuration option, it uses one server for both POP3 and SMTP. Not sure how we get around this

Best answer:

Answer by Chad D
The best answer would be to upgrade your RightFax server to version 10. RightFax 10 has a connector for Exchange 2010 and your current version is way out of support.
For a work around, you can try having two SMTP/POP3 Gateways in RightFax, one that is for outbound POP3 connections and the second for inbound fax to SMTP connections. You will find that Microsoft changed the way it handles message addressing and your outbound process may stop working.

Good luck,
