Need help with exchange 2000

| Hi,
Im just about to Install Exchange 2000 for the first time for the company, I have very little experiance of this product and would welcome any help.
we have one domain in our company and we currently have our email hosted via a third party.
Having contact 'The third party' i have change the MX and A records to point to our external IP address.
The problem is can the server which is hosting exchange be in its own domain, or does it have to be a child domian of the comapines domain or can it be just a stand alone server..? ( if you know what i mean).
If our companies email address are ...@fish.com does the domian which the exchange server installed have to be @fish.com ?
As i said any help would be great | |

| First off, Exchange can be on a member server of your domain, which I highly recommend. Second, in my situation, my "internal" domain name is something like this: mycompany.local. My "external" domain name is something like: mycompany.com.
My users log on to the network as jblow@mycompany.local but their email address will be jblow@mycompany.com. Just be sure your MX records are setup properly.
Also, when installing Exchange, run setup in this order:
setup.exe /forestprep (this prepares the shema for the forest-level changes)
setup.exe /domainprep (this prepares the schema for the domain-level changes)
then run setup.exe and install.
Hope this helps. |
