Help setting up the exchange server on an SBS 2003 from Dell
I have a Dell server with windows 2003 SBS, which includes exchange server. Its in a small office with 8 users, but we want to get email working on it.
We have cable internet for businesses, but no static IP address.
So, im wondering, what is the procedure for getting this exchange server up and running? Do I have to hire a seperate web hosting company or something to host the DNS name? Any unusual instructions for the Wizard I should know about? Any risks of ruining the server I should be wary of before starting?
Thanks a lot!

I don't know how anyone can live with 15 minute delays for E-mail... but I guess some still can!
Many of my clients are smaller than 10 people in the office and they ALL use SMTP mail configured for Exchange. It's much more manageable than POP3 and certainly more secure.

We have many clients who use pop3 without any problems, it is a cheap solution to setting up mail well it is in Ireland and for small clients they don't care about the 15min wait as most would not be in that much of a hurry, plus you can actually shorten that 15mins down as I read in another EE question.
and you don't need a static which is another reason it is handy.

You don't need a static IP to host your own email. http://msmvps.com/blogs/javier/archive/2004/10/25/16621.aspx
