Hi all,

I'm new to this whole SBS/Exchange thing, so sorry for the possibly obvious
questions.

I have a SBS test server with Exchange and ISA installed. I want to use
individual POP3 mailboxes hosted in my ISP. I have managed (with a lot of
help from here) to run ICW and Add User Wizard. I have created the users,
selected "create mailbox" in the wizard, and assigned them (in ICW) their
respective POP3 mailbox.

The thing is that when I try to use Outlook in the workstation and I'm
configuring it to use the SBS Exchange server I enter the username and
server name, then click in CHECK NAME and it says: "The name could not be
resolved. The name could not be matched to a name in the address list". If I
ignore this and continue when Outlook is connecting to the server it says:
"Unable to open your default mail folders. Your profile is not configured".
What other steps I have to incurr to set the Exchange account apart from
running the Add User Wizard?

How do I check if I have, in fact, created an exchange mailbox for that
user?

Thanks in advance,

Javier,

Have you used the SCW (Setup Computer Wizard) to create a computer account,
assign a user to that computer, and created the setup disks for the client
computer?

Les,

Thank you for your response. All of my workstations are Windows XP, I
thought that I cannot use the "magic disk" on those workstations.

I simply joined the domain, added the users to the local administrators
gorup, installed all client apps and then configured Outlook manually (or at
least tried). Everything is working OK. I have access to network resources
and other stuff, I just can't configure the damn Outlook 2002 to work.

Do I have to use the Magic Disk for this? I know that I'm dumb !!!

Thanks,

Thanks Susan for your response. I use XP Pro, of course.

If I'm not mistaken you cannot make XP Home join a domain.

Thanks again,

Javier,

OK, you've joined the domain.

Is ISA (firewall) client installed and configured properly?
Can you ping the SBS by name? Does it return the correct IP.
Can you see any shared resources on the SBS?

Not sure it will matter or not for this, but is the XP personal firewall
disabled?

Thank you Les and Susan for your comments.

I can access the resources on the network. The ISA client is installed
properly and I have access to web browsing on the internet. The SBS pings
back at the workstation. The exchange server retrieves the e-mail from my
ISP's POP3 accounts (I can see all of the test messages on the Trend
ScanMail Status/Log box being scanned). I don't think this is a network
issue, it is more like an Exchange configuration issue.

Maybe I didn't explain myself clearly:

I cannot open the exchange mailbox not only on the workstation, but also on
the server. I have installed Outlook on the server (for the administrator
account) and I get the same error as when I log onto the workstation. Is
there any way to check out the e-mail accounts already created in MMC (or
anything)?

When you use the add user wizard the user's mailbox is created (provided
that you checked the corresponding box)? The name that I have to type in the

Javier,

OK, looks good. (except the installing of Outlook on the SBS :-(. That's not
recommended, I don't know what it breaks, or if that is your problem).

As far as the default user name generation, I *think* it's Firstname
Lastname. Enter that name and the name of your sbs as the server, and it
should resolve.

To check the existence of mailboxes, go to Exchange System Manager from the
start button, drill down to the mailboxes, and see what's listed. Be aware
that mailboxes may not show for users who have been set up, but have not
received or sent any mail.

You should be able to resolve the name using the alias, which should be the
same as the username used to log into the workstation. For example, my
username is dbn. I log in with that and my password, then when I go to set
up my exchange profile, I enter dbn and the SBS servername (not the domain
name). You should be able to resolve it with the alias (username)
regardless of whether the format is last name first or vice versa.

Again, thanks all for your help.

Les,

I don't have my Harry here, but I'm pretty sure that he puts Outlook in the
server as a best practice (he even makes a statement saying that is not
common to install apps in the server but you need that in order to send mail
as an administrator) or maybe I'm crazy.

Is this one of those things were Harry vs. SBS Forum do not agree? Like the
domain.local vs. domain.com?

I will try to see if the mailboxes are there, first thing tomorrow morning.

Thanks for the support,

Javier
