MS Exchange 2003 working with Macintosh dilemma
The company I work for consists of 2 seperate companies both wanting to share resources. The main trouble is that Company A is working on a network with Small Business Server 2003 w/Exchange 2003 and it's own domain (eg: www.company-a.com) the other company works entirely off a Macintosh network with it's domain (eg: www.company-b.com). Since the first company is bigger and we are moving to a bigger office that will accomodate both what they want is the following:
- 1 Macintosh email work under MS Exchange
- 2 Keep seperate domain names for email (EG: johndoe@company-a.com <---- PC Users ; suzieq@company-b.com <---- Mac Users)
Can I have 2 sepearte domains on the exhange server?
Thanks for any input.

What do I need to do to configure the Macintosh domain on the Exchange server and what is required on the user side?

Floyd - I explained that already. Did you not read my comment?
On the Mac clients, you just need to setup the mail readers to read e-mail from the Exchange server as the POP and SMTP server. (note: you'll need to start the POP3 service on Exchange - I believe it's disabled by default.

The MAC configuration is not as hard as you think....it will take you 2 minutes to setup Outlook...<<< use this for the Mac Client as you can integrate all the other Exchange features, like calendar, tasks, notes, etc.

Thanks guys!!!
#2 - yes! just create the user account in active directory AND the Exchange mailbox, configure the clients to authenticate and you should get your mail
#3 - in your DNS, add in the 2nd domain name forward & reverse zone, include your MX record in the forward zone. Exchange 2k3 will allow you multiple domains...so the answer to #3 is YES.
