Exchange Server 2007 - Multiple Domains and Email Accounts for the Domains

Hello All;
Just installed Exchange Server 2007 Standard, on our 32 Win2k3.
For the default Domain that is created with the installation, I have successfully created multiple email accounts and test the local email delivery, and every works flawlessly.

Now, for External Domains.
I have successfully setup a NEW [Accepted Domain],
and have created the [E-mail Address Policy] for the domain.


My question is this:
When I go into [Recipient Configuration - Mailbox],
and I create a [New Mailbox]
I do not see the new Domain.

What else do I need to do, in order to create new email accounts for the new Domain?

Thanks All

I could not find anything from the link you provided, that will assist in in this issue.
Thanks anyway.

OK, I am learning as I go here, with this software, so please bare with me.

#1: On my Hosting Providers site, within my DNS Admin there:
have an A Record to points to this [IP Address].
#2: I have created the DNS Records from the Domain with the Static IP Address from our ISP.
#3: I have created the Domain.com information within Exchange, for the Domain.
@Rancy
#4: The Priority is set to [1], and the Default Policy [Lowest]
#5: Filters (This is how i have it setup)
[Users with Exchange mailboxes]
[Recipient is in a Company]

Other than the above information, that is it.
So do you mean that its filters can see all the Recipients ?

Did you enable and apply ?

- Rancy
>>Did you enable and apply ?
Where would [Enable] be at?
Yes, it is [Applied = True]

>>So do you mean that its filters can see all the Recipients ?
No, it is: [The following specific types]
When you created a user what filter did you specify and what if you right click and say apply or run the

Update-EmailAddressPolicy command for that policy and let it runa nd check the user.

- Rancy
Hey Rancy.
I really do not follow what you are stating in your post.
>>created a user
Where?
OK, before I get to far ahead of myself.
Let me ask this.

OK, I have been doing some research prior to choosing to go with Exchange, and I found out that a lot of ISP and Hosting companies use Exchange to host domain Emails for clients.

So, in the case of the Hosting companies, I assume they did as I did, and Added in a Domain for the Client, so, from here, what would they do in order to host the email accounts for the client?

This is what I am wanting to do.
The email server application that I am use to is IMail Server.
And with that particular server, I just add in a domain, then add users to that domain.
However, Exchange does not seem to be like this, and I need it to work like this.

So my question is:
Can I add in multiple domains.
Then create Users for that domain within Exchange itself.
And if so, then Please HOW!!!

I think that should cover it.
If I cannot get Exchange to work the way I need it to work, then I guess I will have to go back to using Imail Server, of which I prefer Exchange if possible.

Heading out for the rest of the day, will be back in this evening, and hopefully with some advice to be used to resolve this issue.

Your information seems very solid, however, I am completely lost in translation.

@Sembee2
Yes, I know that the first domain that is created is the Server Domain.
UPN = I have been checking in on it, to see what it is, and what it does
And it seems that it is something that is needed in this issue.

So, I ask that someone please instruct in Steps how to perform what I need to do
In order to add email addresses.
After doing research on the UPN, I do not think that its what I am needing.
It seems that the UPN is for Logon security into the domain.
I just got finished going through a lot of the following page(s)
http://www.msexchange.org/articles_tutorials/exchange-server-2007/migration-deployment/shared-hosting-exchange-2007-part1.html

Very good article, on how to do a LOT within Exchange itself.
However, I am looking at all this that needs to be done, and am thinking right now, that using Exchange may be an overkill for our company.
Not to say that it may not be something that we will need later on in the future.

I think that we might have to go back to using what we know for the time being at least.
And that is the IMail Server.

I would like to thank everyone that came in here to assist in this issue, however, we are getting in the new Router tomorrow, and by Monday, we need to have a live working Email Server, for 5 domains, and up to 10 Sub-Domains, with users on them, sending and receiving email.

I know that Exchange will do this, and more, however, I just do not have the time right now to invest in getting this Mail Server up and running like I need it to be.

Thank you all
I am going to award everyone points that contributed to this thread with actual helpful information, that helped me to learn that much more of the system.

Now, time to reinstall Imail, and uninstall Exchange.

Thanks everyone
Hello everyone.
It is called: Exchange Hosted Mode
Which will allow you to host multiple domains, just like an ISP or Web Hosting provider.

This is what I was needing, and just happened to have just found the information.
I am going to look in on doing this, and hopefully everything will work out OK.

Take Care
