Setting up...

[Cervantes]

Hi!
So, seems I've gotten saddled with an Exchange setup. Nothing spectacular, just getting the damnable thing up and running.

What I was wondering is if anyone has any suggestions on a nice walkthrough guide on Exchange setup. This is something I'd rather not bugger up, and I'd also rather not spend days pulling my hair out. Google hasn't exactly been helpful so far.

The setup is simple, one server behind a firewall, setting up email for the 2 domains hosted off of it, with only a few specific users, a catchall email, and OWA. Once it behaves I'll try some of the freeware POP3 add-ins to collect from all the other accounts we have floating around, but that's somewhere in the future.

So, does anyone have any suggestions to help me get the ball rolling?

Thanks!
Cerv

One piece of advice, if you start with saying:

I'd also rather not spend days pulling my hair out

Then .. don't start and get it done by someone who knows.

Marcs41 speaks the truth... Exchange will require perseverance and patience to get it set up and humming.

Research OWA and front-end | firewall | back-end servers.
