Changing Mailserver Name Issues?

I have an older server doing both email and web and I plan to split the services across a couple of boxes and limit this box to just doing email. So far it has used the same domain name like foo.bar.com for both the address of the email and webservers. I have arranged to get foomail.bar.com working and pointed at the same box and I have the SSL cert creating and working. It's my plan to notify the users of the change and push out the new certificate and eventually change foo.bar.com to point to the webserver box instead.
What's the easiest way to make this transition while my users will be using and mix of both names? Can I change the mailserver setting to foomail right away and make foo a virtual server or vice-versa? Is there a better way?
Any input appreciated,
=Tod

I have to admit that is my first inclination - although experience tells me that the frequency of emails to users seems to have little effect on their awareness of these things. Unfortunately the main reason we run our own mailserver is because some of our least technically proficient users have been on some version of our mailserver literally for years. So I was hoping to make the change via a virtual server at first to give everyone time to try it out and handhold our problem users through the process.
The other issue is that we are in an environment where the DNS is handled by other powers that be which makes timing an exact change-over a little more difficult. (But the trade-off is that they are very good and I don't have to worry about DNS.)
Switching gears a little is there any easy way to direct any emails that might go to the new server under the old name short of doing the email forwarding thing for every account? Users are supposed to use @bar.com but some still sometimes use (or have used) @foo.bar.com and when the mailserver becomes @foomail.bar.com I'm sure some mail will still go to the new @foo.bar.com which will no longer be a mailserver.
Obviously I could run mail and do a vacation message warning system but is there a way to set-up forwarding or redirecting without setting up all the user accounts from the current server?
Thanks,

  • Change of name issue

    We are still on Exchange 2010.
    We have a user whose name has changed after getting married.
    All changes have been made to their AD and Exchange mailbox.
    However the user has been given permission to "send on behalf" from a public folder mailbox but gets a message saying they don't have permission and in the message it references the users old name i.e. before marriage.
    Can someone advise on how to resolve this issue.

    Hi,
    As Amit suggested, I recommend you check who has send on behalf permission to this public folder and verify if this new user name is listed. If no, I recommend you re-add it and check the result.
    Hope my clarification is helpful.

  • Changing task name issues

    When we change a task name mid-project life, and then run a resource assignment query, we see tasks listed with the former task name. For example, orginal task name = "Finish part 4", updated task name - " Finish part 4 - job 655". 
    We update the task to 100% after the name change. When we run the assignment query, the task "Finish part 4" shows on the list with completion percentage of 0%. Do we have to rename the task to the original name and then update to 100%?

    Hi,
    What exactly do you mean by "assignment query" in MS Project langage? Assigning a resource on a task? Also which Project version do you use? 
    This should not happen, meaning that changing the competion pourcentage has no impact on the task name.
    Please give us more details so we can help.
    Hope this helps,

  • Vendor change name issue

    I have a problem, we have a vendor named vendorA. In one day, vendorA changed their name to vendorB. Then my colleague change the name on vendor master. I would like to know it is better create a new vendor code or modify the exist one? Since we still issue PO after changed the vendor name, that means all PO related to this vendor, including new name and old name. If i create a new vendor code for new name, is it possible to transfer the to new vendor code, credit old vendor code, debit new vendor code. Thanks!

    Hii,
    Do not change Name of the exesting vendor into new name , it is better to create a new vendor code unless it will be difficult for you to scrutiny of vendor data.
    Create a new vendor code & then find out the data which needs to be booked in new vendor code.
    For this , you have to pass two seprate entires by using intermidiary account
    For Eg.
    if old vendor having credit balance
    Old Vendor a/c   Dr.
         to Intermidiary a/c
    & then
    Intermidairy a/c   Dr
         to New Vendor a/c
    Note : In both the entried you have to use one common profit center

  • Known issue: Cortana will not pronounce your name during setup or when changing your name (Windows 10 Insider Preview SDK and tools, April 2015 release)

    Cortana may not speak your name when tapping the "Hear how I'll say it" button when setting up your name for the first time or when changing your name in the settings panel.

    There is no workaround for this issue. However, you can still complete the process of setting or changing your name.

  • Issues changing DAQ name in Measurement and Automation.

    I am currently using LabVIEW 8.2 w/Measurement & Automation 4.4.1 with Drivers 8.7. I am having using four USB6008s and cannot change the resource name in M&A. It seems to crash this application. Any ideas?

    Thank you,
    While running M&A, I would go under the Devices and Interfaces tab, select NI-DAQmx Devices, select my card which happens to be a USB6008. From this point I right click on the device and in the drop down menu I select Rename. After changing the name of the device I hit enter and wait. It eventually comes up with a fault indicator and states "
    Measurement & Automation Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
    At this point the window offers a "send fault to MS" or quit both resulting in the M&A application to close.

  • How to change the name of the Mac I connect to in the drop-down window.

    Using my brand new MacBook, in the drop down menu when I connect to my iMac, it shows up as my name ( which is Derek Walton's Computer) ...... How can I change the name that shows up here? I have tried all areas that iI can think of and altered my name on the iMac but to no avail - e.g. - Network Sharing, Account Name, and so on.... anything anywhere I have changed... but it always shows up with my full name. I have however managed to get the name in the sidebar of the Leopard window to read as I want ( Derek's iMac) but that is all.
    Also, when I am using Airport on my MacBook, in the drop-down menu I see also other neighbours connections.... I am wondering therefore does it follow that they can see my wireless connection ( as Derel Waltons Computer)?
    This has been vexing me all night and I am geting very frustrated, but I bet there is a simple answer..... for those that know!
    Thanks in advance for any help you care to put my way.

    It is not a simple issue. Not the same as changing a user account in Preferences. Ttry this link:

  • How do I change the name of my IMAC

    I purchased a new IMAC i7, a little over a year ago.  Transfered the files/programs from my older IMAC to the new one using Migration.  Shortly after that the hard drive went out and I brought it in to be replaced.  The guy at Genius bar said they changed the name of my computer when they reloaded OSX onto the machine.   I then had to reload everything from the old hard drive which I had backed up prior to the failure.  Permission issues have been a problem but through some help from the Genius bar I was able to get past that.  Now, when I sign into my computer I have a User name and password that has never changed.  Works fine.  I tried to set up a VNC and used a program that told me what information I had to use, based on a scan of my Imac.  It gave me the UserName of the computer that the Genius Bar had changed it to, way back when.  That doesn't work and won't let me connect.   I typed "whoami" into the Terminal and it gives me my signin name and the computer name together.  Computer name is in ().  So after reading some entrees here I go to preferences>sharing and it gives a third name as my computer name.   So, how do I get this Imac to a single name?  I don't care which name, just a name that can be recognized by the VNC. 
    Thanks

    Ok, thanks.  I changed the name to the name that the Apple Store had assigned the computer when I had the internal drive replaced.   I then purchased a third app for VNC, and that worked, since the app I had would still not recognize the computer.  So I appear to be able to access my computer from anywhere on my IPAD.
    Thanks

  • How do I change the name of my Mac partition in the startup menu?

    Hi,
    So when I transferred my data to my new hard drive, I originally called my hard drive "changetitle" so I wouldn't confuse it with my other drive also named Macintosh HD.
    Now that I have my new drive installed, I changed the name to "Macintosh HD" but when I hold Option to use bootcamp on startup, I notice that my HFS+ partition still has the name "changetitle".
    Any way to change it? Thanks!

    System Preferences->Sharing sets the network name of the computer. The issue here is the name of the startup volume as seen in Startup manager (the option key start up mode).
    That should be changeable from the Finder: highlight the name of the volume, press return, & type in the new name. Is this what was done?

  • How do I change the name of the Home folder OSX 10.9

    Hi there,
    I am trying to change the name of the Home folder on my Macbook Pro running OSX 10.9  I had a clean install of 10.9, and used migration assistant to restore my settings from a Time Machine Backup. 
    The problem is that the Home folder for my user is now named "Cody 1" when it used to be "Cody".  This seems like a minor issue, but all the programs that reference data in the old location, are forcing me to go and find the data manually.  Everything from iPhoto to VirtualBox, all files have to be found manually. 
    I have tried the instructions set forth in this article, http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1428, but the dialog that should, according to the article, allow me to redirect the account to the existing folder, returns an error saying that the user name is already in use.  There is no option to use the existing folder.  I have tried re-naming the folder to something different, to no avail. 
    Ideas?
    Thanks in advance. 
    -Cody

    The Apple Support document you referenced is cumbersome, outdated, buggy, and too likely to result in the sort of problems you described.
    It may be too late now but see the following:
    Niel's post here: How to change name of home folder
    and:
    Apple Support Communities contributor Pondini found an astonishingly simple way to accomplish what you seek. etresoft distilled that information into the following User Tip:
    Changing user account short name
    Note that he writes it has been tested on Mountain Lion but the procedure appears sound and should work equally well with Mavericks.
    Back up your system before doing either one.
    To fix what happened might be possible in Single user mode. I don't have specific instructions but you should be able to find and delete user accounts in the /Users directory.
    Type carefully and don't proceed without knowing the risks.

  • Changing the name of a uploaded excel file

    Hi everyone,
    I am being able to manage to change the name of a excel file when I am working on a scenario with a single file like this:
    http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/204/67859086.jpg/
    Here goes the BUT, but when I am trying to upload several files at the same time, I am not being able to rename the files.
    http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/694/16392664.jpg/
    When I do have several file the package works like this:
    It list all the excel files and stores them into a *.LST file, after that it stores the names on a table. After that it uses a wildcard excel file to put the info to be uploaded, the on the scenario it transforms the data and uploads it into the target tables, then I supposedly change the name but it does not work.
    Then It moves the file to another folder, and erase the name from the temp table….
    I do really appreciate your help and guidance.
    Please do not hesitate to contact me if any further information is required.
    Best regards.

    There is an interface as step 2. I had similar issue once when I wanted to delete Excel file that was just used via Windows ODBC driver in a step before. Solution there was to create two packages, one doing the job and a wait step at the end the other one just deletes the file. Now put the two into a master package and run it from there.
    Probably the ODBC driver has the *.xls file still in some kind of stale/cached access.

    Hello,
    We want to change the name / IP address and domain name for BOE Server, please could you indicate the steps or procedure to follow?
    I need your help
    thank you

    If it's 3.1 just change them, shouldn't cause any issues if by domain name you are referring to changing the domain the computer belongs to. If you are changing your domain for AD authentication then you will may have to take quite a few steps if the old domain is going away. Let us know.
