hi, firstly just configure a new e-mail acount on outlook, and select exchange server, then configure the details (mail server and user name etc)
i assume all the users have been configured on the server with accounts etc, should be fairly straightforward...

then configure address books etc, and local email should work....then internet mail next !

hope this helps, need any more, let me know.....

Hi jonbush thnx for your reply i have done it like i gave server name and user name etc. and it works for some computers, but on others not... on server i found in the user name > properties , that not in all user names it shows nothing related to Exchange - but in rest it shows Exchange services are running - for mobile email, email and so on...now how can i add the same to other users where i see nothing related to exchange in their properties...sorry for so many questions but i am just a beginner...help me please...thnx in adv. milan

with SBS if you use the wizard, then when you add a user, use the appropriate template and this should set up exchange for each user...it should be straightforward...if any user can connect to exchange, then they all should...if any can't, then it's probably an issue with the workstation (dns,ip,user account) you should be able to log onto webmail as each user to check the user account, then if thats all ok, you know it's the pc...

check that you can ping/nslookup the server, checking the dns....if that's ok, the problem may require a bit more thinking.....

let me know

On the SBS, use the wizard and check that every user is in. Ensure the computers are added to the domain and that the users are connecting to the domain on login, not locally.

Then all should be well or at least better

Which wizard i should use to check every user is in? i checked all users r there in users of SBS and in active directory i can see all computers...and yes users are connected to domain on login. while adding each user i had run the wizard >add user and had just checked Administrator template. jonbush how can i log onto webmail as eachuser to check user accounts? can u tell me?
