Branch Office Mail Server?

I have Mac OS X providing mail services to about 100 users at a main office. We are opening a branch office with 20-30 users. I'm wondering if it is possible to setup another mail server for the branch office using the same domain. The users at the branch office are moderately heavy users who will often deal with lots of attachments. I would like them to have an IMAP server that is local to them for better performance and to reduce traffic on the main office network.
I thought I'd give it a try. There's a field called "Mail Server" on the mail tab of WGM for each user. I put the address of the branch office server in that field. However, the main office server keeps the messages in its own mailstore. So, what's this field for? It doesn't seem to do anything.
I see a way to accomplish this by editing the postfix alias file for each user and adding a line for each branch office user like branchofficeuser: [email protected] but that wouldn't be so nice if I ever have to turn over administration of these servers to someone else.
Is there any way to distribute mail for users of the same domain across more than one IMAP server without resorting to entering aliases to subdomains for each user?

Branch Office - Mobile Server connection problem

Branch Office is successfully installed on a XP-PC inclusive the services are started, Mobile -Server is installed on a remote Server. After login with user and password in http://localhost/webtogo/ "Branch Office Web" it takes a while (we think in case of synchronization) but then we get the message at the left side of the browser "javax.servlet.ServletException: Could not get Automatic Sync Status"
We think its a problem of the connection to the Mobile-Server but we have no Idea, how we can solve this problem because we can't verify the problem. There is no firewall and no restriction in our network.
We hope that anybody has an idea!

BTW. How may concurrent user can be support by Oracle9iLite?

Clients Not seeing DHCP server at branch office or not accepting ip offers (NO LOG REPORTS KIND OF IN THE DARK)

Hi there i am having an issue that has popped up recently i have a DC at a branch office that is connected to the main office DC via a Persistent Demand Dial connection in RRAS. Everything was working properly according to me until i found out that the Network
Admin who manages the branch office network failed to notify me that client machines weren't getting IP addresses from the DHCP server. This server was recently installed and wasn't fully implemented till about a week ago when i configured the Demand Dial
connection in RRAS up until that point it just had a regular old VPN connection to the main office while we worked out the kinks with a few things. the things ive tried so far to get DHCP working are as followed
1.Rebooted the branch office server (MULTIPLE TIMES)
2. Uninstalled the DHCP Role and re-installed it....To my surprise 1 client managed to get a ip on its lan adapter after DHCP was re-installed but nothing else
3. Disconnected the connection between the main office DC and the Branch office DC as i figured the main office DC DHCP server might be interfering with the branch office DC DHCP Server but nothing happened
4. Unauthorized and Reauthorized the main office DHCP server and the branch office DHCP server nothing changed
5. sifted through multiple log files on both servers and found noting in fact DHCP logs are empty on both servers
6. restored backups of the DHCP servers from when they were working
7. came here cause im out of ideas and im pulling my hair out
here are the current statistics from the problem server

Office mail configured on MAC Mail, messages sent out are tagged as SPAM

Hi All,
This being my first question, excuse me if I have selected a wrong community for this question.
Here is what I am having difficulty in configuring my MAIL client:
I have configured my office mail, and when I send any message from this, the mail is being tagged as SPAM by my office mail server and all my mails are going into JUNK folder of receipent, when I looked at the RAW message here is what I see:

I have configured my GMAIL and the mails are working fine with that server. The line that is underlined in bold is the difference in the header when I send using my office ID and from GMAIL configured: with configured GMAIL the line looks like:

My IP address is being treated differently in both the cases. Is there something I need to do extra to solve this issue. This might be the reason why Iam not able to send mails to any other domain other than my office domain from my OFFICE ID.
Is there something that Iam missing while configuring??
Thanks in Advance,
Pradeep

If you are running a mail client, then your mail client is probably not configured to use the correct ports with your office mail server (use of the mail submission port, TCP 587 would be typical). It looks like you might be connecting in without benefit of authentication. Work with your mail server administrator to determine local requirements for your particular mail server. (It's somewhat surprising you got as far as sending mail with this configuration and got detected as a spam engine; your office mail server may well have other issues.)
If you are running a mail server (more typical of this forum), then the following diagnostic is your answer why this message got rejected: [BAYES_50=0.8, HELO_DYNAMIC_IPADDR=1.951, RCVD_IN_BRBL_LASTEXT=1.449, RCVD_IN_PBL=3.335, RDNS_NONE=0.793]
Loosely translated, your mail server IP and DNS looks like a spam engine.   (Now whether that's your office mail server that's configured incorrectly and being detected as a spam engine, or your mail client that's getting misdetected by a somewhat-too-open office mail server wasn't immediately clear to me.)
More specifically, this diagnostuc means your public reverse DNS is not an IP address that is expected to be sending mail. As is listed in the diagnostic, the IP address you are using is in several blacklists. Among other issues, the IP address is being detected as a dynamic address (HELO_DYNAMIC_IPADDR), it's listed in a Barracuda blacklist, and it's listed in a Spamhaus blacklist.
Talk to your ISP, and get your forward DNS, your reverse DNS and your MX record to all match your domain, and both you and your ISP will want to get your IP address out of the blacklist.
If you cannot get your addresses to match and sort out your DNS, then you'll have to configure your mail client or your mail server to use your ISP mail server as a relay (if your ISP permits that), or work with some other mail server provider where you can obtain authorization to relay mail.
(Forward DNS: domain name to IP address. Reverse DNS: IP address to domain name. MX: the host name A record for the mail server for the domain.)

Advise on using Branch office server as backup

Hello and thanks for assistance,
The site in question has four physical servers and two virtual servers. They have the following major functions. Server A is a DC/DNS server as well as hosting DFS files. Server B holds exchange server 2012A and the replica partner for DFS, Server C
has two virtual servers installed. First one is exchange 2012B and second one is the antivirus server. Server D is a DC and a witness server. It also holds WSUS. Backup is taking as long as 12 hours. I had an idea of moving Server C and D offsite and configuring
them as branch office servers using VPN. Then all data including mail will be offsite and eliminate the need for backups. All servers of course have RAID1 so my concern really is not hardware related but disaster recovery in the event of fire, flood, ect.
I know this idea may be full of holes but that is why I am posting this for your opinions. There are about 50 workstations in the network. The client is very dependent on the network.
Thanks
Ronald C. Pope

Hi Ronald,
Of course you can create offsite Exchange server and DC. The connection performance may be an issue as you must use site-to-site VPN incase you need a failover.
Both topics are discussed a lot in Exchange and DC forum:

Synchronizing multiple Mac Mini Server Open Directories across branch offices

Greetings from Central Asia -
The non-profit that I work with has been undergoing a long-overdue IT upgrade and we recently purchased some Mac Mini Servers (still running Snow Leopard Server) to act as the core of our network across our 3 offices in 3 different cities.
We have employees moving between offices regularly, so I'm hoping to find a way to synchronize our user database between our head office and our branch offices instead of creating separate databases in each location. We use RADIUS and pfSense with a CaptivePortal for controlling who has internet access as well as have file shares, so keeping user database management to a minimum is an ideal.
I come from a mostly Microsoft Domain background with regards to these things so I'm not entirely sure where to start. Hopefully some hopeful folks here will steer me in the right direction!
I have a (mostly) unrelated question though - OS X Server seems to have two separate user databases - the "local" DB and the LDAP/OpenDirectory DB. Is there a way to make these function together? When creating users and assigning them to groups, which is best practice to use? How do I give an LDAP/OD user login rights to the server?
Thanks in advance,
Tim

I would prefer to keep the two databases seperate, with the local database providing a few specific users with access when OD is inaccessable.
The local database is basically a self-hosted LDAP server.
The local and OD databases do function with the appearance of one single user account presentation at login and for typical operations, too.
Do keep all of the usernames unique; the local users, as well as the OD users.
For your configuration, the usual pattern here is one or more open directory replicas in each lobe of the network.
These replicas then coordinate with the master copy among themselves. You'll have one distributed copy, but the lobes won't be tied to authentication across what may or may not be an entirely stable network; users authenticate off the local replica.
There are also folks that use Microsoft Active Directory as the back-end for Mac OS X, as well; there are various means to this end, including what is known as the magic triangle configuration.
As for learning more about OD, I'd read the Snow Leopard Server Open Directory administration documentation as a starting point. The Lion Server documentation is thin.
The Mac Enterprise Mailing List archives can also be enlightening; that's probably the most concentrated source of information on more complex management environments.

Branch Office Direct Printing - server offline?

Hi All,
We are implementing Branch Office Direct Printing and I have a question about when the server is down or, in the case of a WAN connection to/from the branch going down, the client being unable to reach the server.
I could have sworn I originally read about Windows 8/2012 being smart enough to send the print job straight from the client to the printer in cases where it can't talk to the server, but now I seem unable to locate that information. Is that indeed
the case (hopefully)?
Thanks,
Wes

Branch Office Direct Printing may benefit your organization in the following ways:
Client      computers running Windows Server 2012 obtain printer information from the      print server, but send the
print jobs directly to the printer. The print      data no longer travels to the central server and then back to the branch      office printer.
The      printer information is cached in the branch office, so that if the print      server is unavailable for some
reason (for example if the WAN link to the      data center is down), then it is still possible for the user to print.
The      client computer renders the print job before sending it to the printer.      The major difference between Branch Office Direct
Printing and Client-Side      Rendering (CSR) is that Branch Office Direct Printing does not send the      print job to the server. Instead the job is sent directly to the printer,      resulting
in a significant reduction in network bandwidth usage when the      printers are centrally managed.

Proper Configuration of DNS server for our new branch office

Hi All,
Our new office will setup a new branch office with a routed network link to our HO. In HO, we have 2 domain controllers configured as AD and DNS just for fail over scenarios.
How will we configure the DNS server of our 3rd domain controller which we will placed in the new branch office. What would be the proper settings of DNS server integrated to AD to work well especially to have a successful replication and communication to
the 2 DC's located in HO?

Hi,
If you have multiple DC's in that site i would recommend using any of the partner DC's IP addresses as preferred one and secondary DNS IP to pointing to itself. Dont use loopback addresses configure it with actual IP addresses.
If you have only one server in branch office point itself as the primary DNS and HO DC as secondary and tertiary.
Make sure that all clients in your branch site are pointing to the branch DC as primary DNS server.

Rafic

Minimum number of users to warrant a branch office server

I'd suggest that it's nothing to do with the number of users, but rather what type and amount of work is going on. It could also be affected by a number of other issues; the speed of available Internet connection, how much support you have to provide, how far away from other officesetc.However, as an exampleI had a small site with about 7 staff using PCs and another 20+ staff working in a workshop; I set them up with a coupleof servers due to the work that was going on at that site. I had planned to virtualize these, but left before I got around to it.They wereproviding AD, DHCP, DNS, CA, Print Services to 3 printers, local file store, some database apps and a specialist bar code printer. We also had separate web filtering, a local PBX linked back to a central controller. Because it was a long way to travel to reach, we tried to make...

We have a branch office, currently housing 10 staff.
The office is to be expanded to 16.
Currently staff are using thin clients and logging into our Citrix Xenapp 6.5 server every day
The server comfortably copes with the 10 heads so far and is licenced to handle 20 concurrent connections.
What is the minimum number of heads before you would recommend adding a server to a branch office?

Have to change mail server address when I go into office?!?!?

Hi there,
This may be a more broad networking-type issue, but I thought I'd post here as it's mail in which I am affected.
When I am on the road, I have an IP address in my "mail server" settings (IMAP). However, when I am inside the office network, this IP fails and I need to manually change it to the internal IP address.
Does anyone know a way around this issue, so that I (and all the other mobile people) could simply have the external IP address of the company permanently in account settings.
I'm thinking some way of forwarding requests to the external IP to the internal one.
Someone please help, it's a small but remarkably annoying situation!!
Thanks, Ben

This is not hard to fix, but requires access to your companies internet DNS server.
Most companies managed seperate dns zones one for interal and external.
The trick is to set up a External Zone on your internet DNS server. For example.
Your external mail server name is
mail.company.com(65.21.21.11)
and your internel name is
mailserver.company.lan (192.168.1.10)
Add a new zone to your Internal DNS server for company.com
Add all the A records from the external zone to the new internal zone, but use the internal IP addresses instead of the external.
Then on your mail client you just setup mail to point to mail.company.com and DNS will do the rest for you.
This makes life simple on the users, but is more work to update DNS because you have to manually change the records in both zones every time you update a DNS record.

Migrating from office 365 to OSX Server 2.2.1 Mail server.

hi folks,
I am considering setting up an OSX Server v 2.21 and using it as my main mail server at home, and migrating away from office 365, and using the OSX mail server as my main server. I have my own domain name, and i would be the only user of the mail server.
I would be running this on a mac mini i7 with 16 GB ram.
what anti virus / spam applications are there available for the mac mail server?
thanks.

The power in your computer is fine. I was just trying to warn you that if any network requests come in the server configuration immediately priorises that higher than interacting with the user sitting that the keyboard. Apps you are using may stutter until the network request has been answered. Of course, if you don't have many network users and with a computer that powerful, it probably won't take the server long enough to answer the network request that you notice any problem.
No webmail portal for mail, and no easy way to add one. Just mail apps using POP, SMTP, etc..
Here's the manual for OS X Server if you're interested:

Install windows server 2012 DC on Branch office

Hi ALL,
i am planning to install a secondary DC on our branch office where currently they are on different domain and forest. our head office is currently on windows server 2008 R2 std, where forest and domain functional level are on windows server 2003. our headoffice
domain name is:- (corpoffice.org) and branch office domain is:- ssl (its a single level domain on windows server 2003).
am thinking to upgrade our headoffice DC to windows server 2012 r2 and the same i wanted to do for branch office as well.
i need some guidance how to proceed with this DC setup as both vlan network is different and all the client settings are different. am getting few query like
1. should i upgrade my headoffice DC first before i setup the branch office DC.
2. how the branch office client will communicate to new DC.
any suggestion and guidance would really helpful.
Thanks
srini

Hi
You will need to make sure all the ports are open for traffic to move between both DC's. Also need to check that you dont have replication problems, IE, slow link. First step would be to see if you can ping the HO DC from the branch, then once you have established
that you have all the ports open and your VLAN is routing traffic correctly then you can start with your DC setup.
You can first upgrade your DC, look at this blog:

My macbook air cannot sync with my office microsoft exchange 2010 mail server

My macbook air cannot sync with my office microsoft exchange 2010 mail server.
It used to work perfectly, and then I lost connection and was never able to establish one. I re-istalled my e-mail account several times, no success.

I am sure all of you got your email issues sorted out by now but i was having trouble settings up exchange email on my Iphone 5S, and the problem i found was to go to settings, icloud, then log into icloud with your apple id first (before setting up the exchange email). Once i logged into my icloud account on my Phone 5S, the exchange server email starting working and synching right away.
to confirm this worked, i even deleted my email account and deleted my Icloud accounts both from my iphone was able to simulated the same exact problem (exchange server would not sync with my Iphone 5S) until i logged back into my Icloud account on my 5S.
Again once i logged into Icloud, the exchange server issues went completely away.
Just wanted to post this so anyone else having the issue could see.

I have one HQ and 200 branch offices. I want to take the backup of 200 branch offices centrally through DPM 2012 server.
To achieve this solution what procedure i have to follow. Shall i go with one DPM server at HQ or i have to configured each DPM server at branch offices.
I have 3 MBS link in each offices.
Thanks and Regards Deepak

I'm not sure there is a simple, easy answer. It depends on what you want to achieve via the DPM protection. My two cents is to have your DPM servers for the branch offices running at your HQ location so your backups are "offsite". This
will protect you in the event a branch office is lost. All protection elements except for BMR are pretty efficient with DPM and you can compress the traffic from your branch locations.
You can have multiple DPM servers at HQ and balance your server protection load across that farm.
You may want to have a DPM server at a branch location that protects some of your HQ servers to provide an offsite backup for HQ resources.
Be careful with BMR backups across WAN links. The BMR sends the entire BMR backup every time. And the BMR backup can include multiple drives if you happened to have installed applications on something other than the system drive (C:). You
can get a list of all the drives that will be included in the BMR backup by running this command on a server: "wbadmin start backup -allcritical -backuptarget:\\localhost\c$". Just hit CTRL-C after it shows you the drives that will be included.
You'll need to run the DPM backup across a private link or via site-to-site tunnels. I don't recommend trying to do a DPM backup with a firewall between the two sites. I'm sure it could be done...but I don't recommend it.
