A few question for the newbie

[xmario2013]

Hi All:

We just upgraded from 5.5 to 2000, Exchange 2000 is a mystery to me because everthing is mixed with Active Directory

For Exchange, I know we can use OWA which is a great feature, we want to use it for our external client, is there a way for them to just access their Inbox and perhaps just a few Public folder which the permission is assigned ? (no calendar, global address book etc. like regular Outlook users does)

I setup an AD account for our external client, of the member of Domain Guest, it couldnt access OWA, as soon as I give it Domain User, it can, but we dont want them to login as part of us, is there a way to do it in the M drive or the actual drive the M is mapped to ?

Thanks

also, is there a way for OWA to display address book view just like the regular Outlook ? some user may find it annoying to keep on searching the address book for other users

Thanks

For Outlook Address Book 'looks' in OWA, you would need Exchange 2003, so they will have to accept is as it is.

About the login, their is a huge difference between login in locally and login in to authenticate, but authentication is needed for AD. That does not mean they can login to your server as if they were a regular office user.

See also faq858-3483 to check if you missed something during migration.

Apparently IMAP 4 supports non domain users accessing mailboxes ont the exchange server.

Never tried it myself though but it might be worth checking.
