Windows SBS 2003 - Exchange and DOMAIN name
Company ABC is setting up a SBS2003 server to run, among others, Exchange 2003 to handle e-mail for its ABC.COM domain. While setting up the server, the DOMAIN name is asked. Typing ABC.COM will generate a recommendation from setup of not doing that (do not have the text of the message) and suggesting to keep the internal domain protected, or something like that.
If you accept the setup suggested domain, ABC.local, e-mail addresses for users will be created as user@abc.local.
Question from an SBS/Exchange rookie: How can you then handle e-mails for ABC.COM and having the users with their real e-mal addresses?
Thaks in advance

Im guessing you want users to defaut to user@abc.com as email address rather than user@abc.local
understandable, user@abc.local dosnt exist
open properties for the user on server
- "email address" tab
---- click new
------- "smpt address"
------------- enter "user@abc.com" replace "user" with user id
------------------ click "ok"
--------------------------
Done, except you will have to do same thing for every user.

P. S. If you haven't read over the Getting Started Guide, I'd highly suggest it: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/sbs/2003/plan/gsg/sbsgsgab.mspx It details items such as this. Also, take a look at my thread here: http:Q_21031607.html for other setup resources and tips.

Thanks.
Would it means that ABC's users will be using POP3/SMTP to access the Exchange Server?
What is the fundament for that setup suggestion? Is it "best practice"?
Thanks again
