Invoking 'Send As' right in Exchange 2003
How can I enable the 'send as' functionality on Exchange 2003? Is my only option to create seperate user accounts for the secondary domain, then grant the 'send as' right that way? I have two domains, but as I understand it, I can only have one exchange server within my domain, but I would like both domains to come into the same Outlook instance, then be able to 'Send As' from either account.

You post is a little confusing. You have two domains or a domain and a sub domain? Also are you using Server 2003 or Server 2003 SBS?
If your trying to setup two Exchange mailboxes on the same computer, you have to first give the user rights to use both mailboxes (Active Directory Users and computers > The user account properties > exchange advanced > mailbox rights). Then you have to give rights to send as for both mailboxes (Active Directory Users and computers > The user account properties > Exchange general > Delivery Options > Add the user account to send on behalf). Then, local on the workstation, go to, Control Panel > Mail > show profiles > and add a profile for each of the different mailboxes.
Hope this helps.

Domain and a sub domain. I'm a little confused by the last sentence in your response, is that really necessary? I've never had to do that before. Granted, I have roaming profiles setup on my network, so that may be why I've never had to do that....
The last part of my post is to allow you to choose which mailbox to view upon opening Outlook. Our users don't use roaming profiles; perhaps this is irrelevant for you.
I believe Bumslaw was referring to allowing users to have both mailboxes set up in Outlook. This means users have the ability to choose which mailbox to open when running Outlook. However, unless you use Extra Outlook, you can only run one Outlook instance at a time, so this would only enable you to view one mailbox at a time.
There are other methods to send as a different mailbox, but these require a lot of client-side set-up to make them work properly. Granting Send As rights is mainly server-side (if you've any more than a couple workstations/users, you'll appreciate how going to each machine to do configuration isn't going to work).
