Exchange setup for multiple domains

We are planning to deploy Exchange server 2013, We have two companies and would like to create Email box for both the companies with same name.
Example : [email protected], [email protected]
We would like to have separte email boxes for the both companies. Please suggest us accordingly.

That should be simple enough. Exchange can handle having multiple domains for sending / receiving and users can have multiple mailboxes configured in Outlook. The name field in Exchange doesn't need to be unique (the account name does obviously), so for
instance there's no issue having "Fred Bloggs" <[email protected]> and "Fred Bloggs" <[email protected]> both setup.
In a way the trickier part is setting it up in Outlook since different versions react differently. If you're using Outlook 2013 it should be quite straight forward. As you can see here
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee815819.aspx the manual setup is easy enough for multiple exchange mailboxes, though auto mapping should work as well. If you're in a network AD
environment (eg connecting using your local password), then realistically you'll want one mailbox to be primary which is associated to your network login, and then that login to have full access and send as permissions on the second mailbox.
You may also need to deploy a reg key change to enable saving sent items from the second mailbox into that mailboxes sent items folder rather then the primary mailboxes (assuming you want to keep messages two and from both domains separate and in their own
mailboxes). The reg key is listed here
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2843677 and is definitely needed in Outlook 2007 and 2010 but I'm not sure if it's still an issue if you're using Outlook 2013.

  • DNS for Multiple Domains

    I am trying to figure out the proper configuration for DNS that will support multiple domains. I have DSN working now for just one domain.
    My XServe has a static IP connected directly to cable modem and is the master nameserver. I also have an Ubuntu server with static IP connected directly to cable modem that is the secondary (slave) nameserver.
    On the XServe, I currently have a primary zone created for domain1.com. with:
    * an A record for domain.com. (Fully Qualified) and the same static IP as the XServe
    * an A record for ns1 (not fully qualified) and the same static IP as the XServe
    * Aliases for ftp, www and mail (not fully qualified) mapped to destination ns1.domain1.com. (Fully Qualified)
    Nameservers under the Primary Zone is ns1.domain1.com. and Mail Exchangers is ns1.domain1.com. with a priority of 10.
    The reverse zone is getting created appropriately for me as far as I can tell. I am able to access www.domain1.com just fine as well as mail and ftp.
    Now I want to add a new domain2.com to this master nameserver. I know that I will need a new Primary Zone for domain2.com. to be recognized and to setup it's aliases?
    Can I use the same static IP or do I have to have a unique static IP?
    Can I use the ns1.domain1.com. nameserver or does the new domain2.com need new nameservers?
    Does domain2.com have it's own A records?
    Does the mail exchangers need to be different for domain2.com?
    It seems like all the documentation and information that I can find are just for configuring one domain and not so much for multiple domains. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Spotted Dog

    Don't think of subsequent domains as being any different from the first domain.
    For every domain you need to provide certain information, including a list of the hostnames within that domain. There is no relationship between 'www' in domain1.com and 'www' in domain2.com (unless you point them to the same address, but that's a different issue).
    Any host record in the zone can either be an A record (where you specify an IP address) or a CNAME (where you specify another hostname that it maps to).
    In the case of your web server handling both domains you could set 'www.domain2.com' as an A record with the appropriate IP address, or you could set it as a CNAME with a value of 'www.domain1.com.' (essentially saying 'www.domain2.com has the same IP address of www.domain1.com, so go find that address').
    It's also possible to use cross-domain records for things like name servers and mail servers - in other words you can set your MX record for domain2.com to mail.domain1.com (essentially saying that domain2.com's email is handled by mail.domain1.com).
    Can I use the same static IP or do I have to have a unique static IP?
    That's not a question for DNS. What you're defining are the hostnames in that domain. If you have one server (e.g. a web server) that can handle multiple domains (e.g. one apache server handling web traffic for both domain1.com and domain2.com) then, sure, you can use the same IP address for both.
    If, on the other hand, you have specific services that cannot be multi-hosted (e.g. HTTPS) then you will need different IP addresses.
    Can I use the ns1.domain1.com. nameserver or does the new domain2.com need new nameservers?
    Sure, it's entirely possible to use domain1.com's name servers for domain2.com.
    Does domain2.com have it's own A records?
    It can do, or not, as you choose. If you're running www.domain2.com on the same server as www.domain1.com then you could use a CNAME record to point www.domain2.com to www.domain1.com.,or you could set an A record with the same IP address.
    The result would be the same, but the CNAME has the advantage that if your IP address changes you only need to change your DNS in one place (www.domain1.com) and all the other addresses would automatically follow.
    Does the mail exchangers need to be different for domain2.com?
    Not at all, if your mail server is configured to handle mail for both domains it's entirely possible to specify mail.domain1.com as the MX record for domain2.com.

  • Single login for multiple domains

    Can anyone point out a blog or post of a single login for
    multiple domains? For example, let's say I own asite.com and
    bsite.com.
    I want a user who logins to asite.com to also be logged into
    bsite.com if they visit that site. BSite.com is clearly a microsite
    of asite.com but we'd like to continue to use that domain if the
    visitor is on that site instead of redirecting them to keep login
    credentials
    Thanks

    If you're using cookie based login system, I'd imagine you
    could set a cookie to be valid for both of your sites.
    <cfcookie name="myAuthcookie" value="myAuthValue"
    domain=".asite.com;.bsite.com">
    That way both asite.com and bsite.com can read your cookie.
    Note the notation; always include the preceeding dot in the domain
    values. (two dots for top level domains, etc.)
    Strangely CFCOOKIE documentation doesn't mention anything
    about using semicolon separating multiple domains. It did in CF5
    documentation, but not since.

  • Mailman v3 implementation of support for multiple domains

    Mailman has evolved to support listserve names for multiple domains (think VH for listserves). At what point can we see Apple roll this kind of management into the existing product? It would be fabulous to give VH clients the ability to have their own 'branded' listserve experience rather than one with our default domains
    Server Group -- please update Mailman when more pressing bug fixes are out of your way. Thank you!

    Alex,
    Thanks. I know that it can be done via the CLI, but once again we see where alterations done in the CLI will immediately require abandoning the SA as an admin tool. We're trying to encourage Apple to not create this paradox, or rather, to evolve the GUI admin toolset. I was recently at a Leopard Server tour seminar where the field engineer and I discussed this very feature. His comment to me was essentially 'many of the tools in the Server are based on open source projects, so you can simply download the latest update, compile it and configure it for the server ... but you won't be able to use the admin tools we provide." He's accurate, and if I was the only one admin'ing my machines, that might be a temporary solution to this particular small issue. But it immediately brings to mind the reflex question of 'so why did I buy Leopard server?
    This is a matter of Apple needing to provide sufficient resources to the Server group to grow the product. Whether that means some new hiring, or not pulling engineers off for other product lines, or a different management paradigm. We shouldn't purchase a server product that is touted as an enterprise-class solution when it may only have a bare framework for the offered toolsets. If growing the toolset to match what is already offered in the open source world (for that particular product) requires abandoning the server tools, then there's a bit of a vision problem with the Server product.
    Sorry, -- I didn't mean to get on a soap box. You and I are here to learn and help others. I know you aren't part of Apple any more than I am. I do hope Apple engineers are given some time to peruse this board and mine it for ideas, or gauge the effectiveness of their solutions based on the questions and solutions posed here.
    With Mailman 3 so far along in development (VH support was added in October), is Apple culling the very best from it for their user base (and adjusting the SA toolset accordingly)?

  • Help Setup KMS on single domain and active for multiple domain another

    Hi all,
    I have a problem about configure DNS for KMS host. My company use a single domain "abc.com". But I must mange more than 10 company different and they use another domain and dns running independently, they have a one lease line connect them together.
    My challenge is how to active all client on more than 10 company. Any ideas is very appreciate.
    Please help.
    Thanks,

    That's a good article suggested by Meinolf, but it's a little outdated.
    For an updated guide for this:
    https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff793409.aspx
    Publishing to Multiple DNS Domains
    By default, the KMS host is registered only in the DNS domain to which the host belongs. If the network environment has only one DNS domain, no further action is required.
    If there is more than one DNS domain name, you can create a list of DNS domains for a KMS host to use when publishing its SRV RR. Setting this registry value suspends the KMS host’s default behavior of publishing only in the domain specified as the Primary
    DNS Suffix.
    Optionally, add priority and weight parameters to the
    DnsDomainPublishList registry value for KMS. This feature enables you to establish KMS host priority groupings and weighting within each group to define which KMS host to try first and balance traffic among multiple KMS hosts.
    Note   DNS changes might not be reflected until all DNS servers have been replicated. Changes made too frequently (time < replication time) can leave older records if the change is performed on a server that has not been
    replicated.
    To automatically publish KMS in multiple DNS domains, add each DNS domain suffix to whichever KMS should publish to the multi-string registry value
    DnsDomainPublishList in registry subkey HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SoftwareProtectionPlatform. After changing the value , restart the Software Licensing Service to create the SRV RRs.
    Note   This key has changed from the Windows Vista location of
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SL.
    After configuring a KMS host to publish to multiple domains, export the registry subkey, and then import it in to the registry on additional KMS hosts. To verify that this procedure was successful, check the Application event log on each KMS host. Event
    ID 12294 indicates that the KMS host successfully created the SRV RRs. Event ID 12293 indicates that the attempt to create the SRV RRs was unsuccessful. For a complete list of error codes, see the
    Volume Activation 2.0 Operations Guide at

  • Issuing Multiple MYSAPSSO2 tickets for Multiple Domains

    Hi,
    I am having a problem understanding the SAP documentation on how to go about issuing SAP login tickets in multiple domains. In the documentation it states that in order to do so, you require either a IRJ or the SAP ISAPI Web Filter installed in on a server in the target Domain. I have now setup the IIS_SSO.dll ISAPI filter in the domain I require the SSO ticket to be issued in however when I make a request to that webserver I do not see the MYSAPSSO2 cookie being created in my browser, I do see in the ISAPI logs that the request has been filtered and the portal username extracted and set to the configured HTTP Header, but no new Cookie created in the DOMAIN.
    Can anyone help? Has anyone done something like this before?
    Basically I have a portal in the domain <b>myportal.subdomain.domain.com</b> and an ITS in the domain <b>myits.domain.com</b>. With this configuration the MYSAPSSO2 cookie is not sent to the ITS server as it is in a Super Domain. So what I want is to configure the portal to issue a Cookie in the super domain (domain.com) rather then subdomain.domain.com. I thought I could do this with the parameter login.ticket_recieving_hosts in the usermanagment.properties file (EP5) and the IIS ISAPI filter to SSO (IIS_SSO.dll) configured on a website in the super domain (domain.com).
    Any help would be greatly appriciated.
    Simon.

    I believe we had to set the domain relax level (ume.logon.security.relax_domain.level) but needed to make sure this was secure since it changes the domain scope of cookies that are valid for the system.
    See the following:

  • Deploy Exchange 2013 in multiple domain scenario

    I currently have an AD forest abc.com under which there are 2 domains def.abc.com and ghi.abc.com. Exchange 2013 is deployed in domain ghi.abc.com. Now I want to add a third domain jkl.abc.com and use exchange 2013 for it. I want to use the same exchange
    which is currently deployed in ghi.abc.com by adding  new servers and use the same namespace etc. Do I need to do anything special for it or just add servers and start creating mailboxes.

    Hi Gaurav,
    You need to prepare the domain to accept the exchange organization into it. (Note you can't have a seperate exchange org, it will be conencted to the existing org, but with different user scope)
    Make sure to follow the full preparation steps as in for the first exchange deployment.
    Prepare Active Directory domains
    The final step to get Active Directory ready for Exchange is to prepare each of the Active Directory domains where Exchange will be installed or where mail-enabled users will be located. This step creates additional containers and security groups, and sets
    permissions so that Exchange can access them.
    The account you use needs permissions depending on when the domain was created:
    Domain created after PrepareAD was run   If the domain was created
    after you ran the PrepareAD command in step 2 above, then the account you use needs to 1) be a member of the Organization Management role group and 2) be a member of the Domain Admins group in the domain you want to prepare.
    Wait until Active Directory has replicated the changes made in step 2 to all of your domain controllers. If you don't, you might get an error when you try to prepare the domain.
    When you're ready, do the following to prepare an individual domain in your Active Directory forest for Exchange.
    Open a Windows Command Prompt window and go to where you downloaded the Exchange installation files.
    Run the following command. Include the FQDN of the domain you want to prepare. If you want to prepare the domain you're running the command in, you don't have to include the FQDN.
    Setup.exe /PrepareDomain:<FQDN of the domain you want to prepare> /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms
    Repeat the steps for each Active Directory domain where you'll install an Exchange server or where mail-enabled users will be located.
    Below info is bit old, but should still hold true:
    To install Exchange on a server in a child domain:  
    Log on to the server in the child domain using the account that has been granted the Exchange Full Administrator role for the organization.
    Run Setup from your Exchange CD-ROM. The Setup.exe file is located in the Setup\i386 folder on the Exchange CD-ROM.
    Note If you are joining an existing Exchange site, the account   that you use to log on must have the following permissions to access the   Exchange Server directory:  
    Exchange must recognize the site services account name and password.
    The Exchange Server site naming context for the Exchange Server site you want to join.
    Admin role on the Exchange Server configuration naming context for the Exchange Server site that you want to join.
    A two-way trust is required between the domain where you are installing Exchange and the domain where the Exchange Server computer exists.

  • Essentials 2012 R2 Exchange Integration with Multiple Domain Controllers

    Attempting to integrate Exchange Server 2012 with the Essentials wizard results in the error message: "This task must be performed on the domain controller." I've found several threads that speculate this is because there are multiple domain controllers
    in the domain. Is there a workaround or patch available to resolve this issue? Why wouldn't Microsoft want the redundancy of multiple DCs?
    Thanks.

    Hi HartmannTek,
    I agree with Robert.
    We can get the following information from the article:
    Services Integration Overview for Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials - Part 1. Please refer to.
    Currently, the Services Integration features, including Windows Azure Active Directory integration, Office
    365 integration, Windows Intune integration, and on-premises Exchange integration, are only supported in a single domain controller environment. In addition, the integration wizard must be run on a domain controller.
    Hope this helps.

  • Autodiscover and outlook anywhere for multiple domains

    Hello
     I have exchange 2010 SP3 environment  which is currently in production. We have multiple domain names added to accepted domain and it’s working fine.
    I have two different public IP Address for MX (SMTP ) and OWA.
    following DNS records are created with ISP DNS Servers. Below find the example.
    MX Records
    Smtp.abc.com (10.1.202.10) (SMTP /MX)
    Smtp.zxc.com  (10.1.202.10) (SMTP /MX)- new domain
    Smtp.qwe.com  (10.1.202.10) (SMTP /MX) - new domain
    OWA and Autodiscover
    Mail.abc.com (10.1.202.2) (owa)
    Autodiscover.abc.com (10.1.202.2)
    Currently outlook anywhere and  outlook autodiscover  working for (mail.abc.com) domain without having any issues. All the other domain are failing errors when I’m testing the Remote connectivity Analyzer. When I’m trying configure the outlook
    profile it’s not resolving the domain name.
    OWA working for domain they also using the same url to access the OWA (https://Mail.abc.com/owa)
    Any idea how to resolve this issue.
    Aucsna

    Hi,
    Agree with Ed, generally, all names autodicover.SMTPAddressSuffix should be added in the certificate and Public DNS entries.
    Alternatively, you can refer to the following article to simplify the namespace in certificate:

  • What is icloud setup for Multiple users, multiple devices in family?

    What would be the recommended setup for iCloud to allow family members with multiple devices and multiple iTune accounts to share purchases, sync there own mail account, contacts, and reminders with multiple devices, and be able to sync calenders with all family calendars? Or better yet how can family members pick and choose what to sync with a common iCloud account?

    I'd like to know this to.
    We have 1 mac mini that serves as a media station that streams audio to Zeppelin air and photos & movies to our TV.
    My wife buys music on her iPhone. And takes pictures of the family.
    I buy apps and music on my iPad. And make movies of the family.
    I have a macbook pro ( itunes with home sharing,  iphoto home sharing ).
    She has a nice macbook (  itunes with home sharing, iphoto home sharing ).
    What we would want is that the mac mini collects all music / videos / media and streams it to all our apple devices via wifi ( not via internet ). But I with my appleID and she with her appleID.
    I wonder is Apple can make an GUInterface that I can understand to solve this.
    This iCloud seems not too suited.
    For families it would be easier if iOS5 would have 'home sharing' with upload and not transfer everything to CA first.

  • Entry Channel setup for multiple company codes

    Hello,
    I have a question regarding the entry channel setup (for external requirements in the Plan-Driven Procurement scenario)
    In previous implementations, I 've created an entry channel below each company code (as the documentation says it should be). Now, for each entry channel, there was a EBP user assigned, which corresponded to an RFC entry in the backend system (I was connecting EBP to multiple backend systems)
    Now, what should I do in the following scenario?:
    1. SRM is only connected to one backend system
    2. There are 50 company codes
    Does that mean I have to create 50 users (for each channel) plus 50 RFC connections in the R/3 system (each with a different user in the backend system), pointing to the same SRM system?
    I was thinking of creating an Org iD in the SRM structure at the top (which would be the entry channel), assign only ONE user to it and then fill attribute BUK with all the company codes. However, I don't know if this will work, because the external requirement process might need the company code defined in the "Function" tab... =/
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Regards,
    Gilberto.

    Hi Proyecto Genesis,
    I am also configuring the Entry channel (org unit) for multiple company codes.
    I tried your logic of defining the entry channel outside company code level. Assigned the BUK attribute and extended attribute for plants and storage locations.
    Also in my case the local Pur org and Pur group is defined outside the company code. Is it correct?
    However the system fails to transfer the external requisition to SRM.
    SLG1 displays following error message.
    "No address found for partner function type Ship-To Address"
    So if I move the Entry channel (org unit) under any one company code level then the external requisitions are transferred correctly to SRM.
    But then the issue is the requirements are not transferred with the backend Pur Org and Pur grp. Instead they are transferred to the Pur Org and Pur grp of the company code under which the entry channel is defined.
    Can you please share how do we need to define the entry channel, local pur org and pur grp for multiple company codes scenario, so that the ECC requisitions are transferred with the correct company code, pur org and pur grp to SRM?
    Or do we need to define Entry channel for each company code and RFC user actually mapping the same backend system?
    Please guide.
    Regards,
    Sandeep

  • Multiple Certs for multiple domains on one server

    Hi,
    for one WebLogic Server you can only specify one certificate. So to achieve

  • How can I set up SSL login authentication on one domain for multiple domains

    Our site currently runs in 22 countries with 22 different
    country domains:
    www.mysite.com
    www.mysite.co.uk
    www.mysite.fr
    etc
    We want to use SSL on our login pages but realise that the
    cost of certification for every domain is expensive. One solution
    would be to channel all login activity to a single domain, eg:
    www.mysite.com/login.cfm?site=fr which would then redirect to
    www.mysite.fr – this is how Google do it
    But, currently we are using encrypted cookies for login
    authentication so we would have the problem of having to transfer
    the cookie info across domains securely. Is there any way of going
    about this?
    Any other suggestions would be great, too. We do plan to move
    to session management for logins but this is a longer term project
    so we are hoping to sort out the SSL prior to that.

    Can you not pass the values you need as URL parameters?
    Encrypt them befor you send them and then decrypt them on the new
    domain. Then add them to whatever place you need (cookie, session,
    etc.)?

  • Multiple hostnames for multiple domains

    I am currently running 3.0SP4 in Open mode without a gateway. I have one server instance with two domains (call them domain1 and domain2). Instead of having users have to go to append the domain name to the server URL, I would like to create two separate hostnames for each domain (call them domain1.test.com and domain2.test.com, both are in the same subdomain). I added both hostnames to the system and to the DNS and can reach the server fine. I followed the procedures in the iPS Admin Guide (Chapter 8 Configuring the Gateway, Using Virtual IP and DNS Names), adding the following:
    domain1->Authentication->Domain URLs
    /domain1
    domain1.test.com
    domain1.test.com/domain1
    domain2->Authentication->Domain URLs
    /domain2
    domain2.test.com
    domain2.test.com/domain2
    I also editted the platform.conf file to include:
    ips.virtualhost=domain1.test.com domain2.test.com 111.111.111.111
    Domain1 is set to be the default domain.
    I don't want to permit access to domain1 from domain2.test.com, or vice-versa.
    When I go to domain1.test.com, it brings up the login screen fine and I can log in. When I try to go to domain2.test.com, I get a No Such Domain error.
    I think this might be because it might be trying to redirect domain2.test.com to the default domain (domain2.test.com/domain1) and so I get this error, since it is not in the Domain URLs for domain2.
    Or is it a separate problem? How can I fix this?

    I found my problem... had to do with the default domain Domain URLs.
