The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

PC and MAC network, and Email Server

Asked by Trihimbulus in Mac OS 10.4 (Tiger), Exchange Email Server, Active Directory

Tags: , , ,

My brother owns a business with a small network, and needs my help configuring some new/replacement servers. THis network is about 15 WIndows XP CLients and 15 MAC's (OSX I believe). Currently, he has one Domain Controller (Server 2003 Native Mode) and all PC's are members of that domain. The email server is IPSwitch iMal POP3 server, which every pulls email from. Both servers are on their last legs, and I have been tasked with building him a new setup.

First Problem- Domain Controller: I had planned on getting him a new DC and seizing the roles from his previous domain, one at a time, and then demoting it. Is it possible to seize the PDC Emulator Role as well (never done this scenario before)?

Second Problem- Email Server: Currently, he is using a POP3 email server called iMail which is a member of an independent workgroup (thus allowing MAC's and PC's to pull mail from it). I had hoped to build him a Microsoft Exchange Server, but then realized the MAC's will most likely not be able to connect to that through (only POP3). Is this correct? I would think domain permissions, and the fact that these are Mac's would not allow this. I woulds like all emails to reside in a central location, so that if a workstation fails- emails are not lost.

Can someone please help me to understand- and recommened what I should do in this scenario???
