Windows SBS 2003 R2 w/Exchange
Windows XP Pro w/Outlook 2003
Server and workstations, respectively.

Situation: Family-run small businesses (plural) sharing an office and
resources. 4 different email domains in use/desired. Shared calendar
also desired.

How do I setup Exchange on SBS 2K3 R2 to send/receive emails for
multiple email domains with only 1 SBS server (also PDC, etc.)? Using
off-site email hosting and am in the process of migrating on-site using
Exchange which came with SBS. Changed 1 set of MX records for 1 domain
name to point to server. Additional email domains a critical concern.

How do I setup Exchange and Outlook to use a shared calendar? The
family wants each employee to be able to add a new event/meeting and for
it to appear on everyone's calendar simultaneously. How?

Can I do this also for a shared address book?

Thanks,
Fred

Receiving is easy. For the entire group you can establish additional
recipient policies.

For individuals, you have to setup additional addresses in ADUC.

Sending is more difficult. Must you do this?

You share calandars either in Company Web/Sharepoint or in Exchange Public
Folders.

Yes.

Larry,

Assume that I have NEVER seen or used Outlook before. No, I've not
been living under a rock, I've just had a preference for other mail
clients. I've figured out how to export a calendar from Mozilla
Thunderbird w/Lightning (or Sunbird) to a comma-delimited file and how
to import it into a single user's Outlook 2003. Once I setup the shared
folder(s), how do I then proceed to have a central calendar which all
Outlook 2003 users will be able to access and modify live? Can I do
this (and how) with an imported calendar?
Same question, but for the address book. While awaiting your response,
I'm going through the shared folder thing.

Again, thanks,
Fred
