So this will be one domain for two servers not in the same exchange organisation? The users will be split between the servers but with the same @domain.suffix address? sircles.net Support - find us at: http://www.sircles.co.uk http://www.sircles.net http://www.ReadAllAboutIT.eu...

I think that the only issue you will have is that you will get a certificate warning when you open Outlook if you use the new.org address to configure autodiscover. Perhaps the best idea is to give the new crew an address at main.org as well as at new.org and when you configure outlook use the...

That is all very good advice and also check what period the POP3 connector is rigged to check the email as if you do not receive delay NDRs then it might not be SMTP or X500 that is the issue. On another note it may well be time to just connect everyone with SSL using Outlook and use a single...

It will just work, the internal domain name of the AD forest is more to do with locating machines internally on the LAN. Emails arriving will depend on, as you rightly say: MX record being correctly targeted at external SMTP server IP address Domain being accepted as an internal email domain on...

Have the IT staff enabled Non Delivery Reports on the receive connector that they have made for your relay - when they gave you a static IP they would have created a receive connector on the Exchange 2010 box to accept messages requests from your static IP. It may be that they have turned off...

What do you see if you go to http://www.mxtoolbox.com and type in his domain and do an SMTP test? sircles.net Support - find us at: http://www.sircles.co.uk http://www.sircles.net http://www.ReadAllAboutIT.eu Henley-on-Thames Computer Support

I don't really understand how they could have over-reacted so wildly to tablets and mobile phones that they were prioritising Metro over the desktop? Surely what was really happening is that Microsoft just wanted to consolidate all of their development into one OS and so Windows 8 was the first...

I have seen a couple of these lately: Windows 8 & 8.1 seem to lose their wireless networking for a few seconds when dialling a PPTP connection. You can dial it a few times and each time you lose connectivity to your WiFi but if you persist it will log onto the VPN eventually. Has anyone else...

So what is going to be done about Kryptolocker and its perpetrators? If you haven't heard about this thing it is a 'Ransomware' virus that encrypts all your data and sends the key to a secret server in, guess where....? The Ukraine! You then have 3 days to pay $300 - 460 to get your data...

Increase the cost of the send connector on the new box to stop the 2003 box trying to use it. Presumably the new box is being blocked by a firewall or something as it should work straight away. As soon as you have the EX2010 box sending out OK you can disable the old SMTP connector but do not...

It could still be that the replicas have not been copied to all the PF databases as the public folders names existence are held in AD but the contents are held in the PF databases. Make sure as suggested above that the PFs have a replica in every database and yes the missing AD DC might slow...

Are these two different Exchange sites? Does this mean that the same users do not exist on each site and how exactly are you performing this migration? I usually just install exchange 2013 to the Exchange 2010 site and move the mailboxes over. sircles.net Support - find us at...
