hey guys,

i did go ahead a while ago and set up Exchange 2007 for a hosted solution. my only showstopper though is this Global Address List stuff... it would be nice to assign a specific GAL to each clients' users... anyone had any ideas to overcome this? Otherwise, we've pretty much got this all nailed down, including the autodiscover, without having to deploy that package MS offers for account management...

I am not sure I understand, but from what I gather you mean, is you want one login name and multiple email address's, correct? You can add multiple address's either manually in the user email properties, or create another customattribute to stamp the email address's.

As for logging in, OWA uses UPN's, so you should use the user's UPN to login, i.e. ADUsername@UPNsuffix.com

Here is that happend. I follow the guide and created 2 OU made some users, etc and every thing work fine. But on my real mail server i have several mail domains from some of our customers and they all have the email account "office", so then i create the users, even they are in different OUs they end up having the same Pre Windows 2000 name , "office" even they have different UPN, ex: "office@domain1.com, office@domain2.com".


If i could overcome this problem, i could switch to Exchange 2007

I hope that i was more clear this time, and i will brush up my english :)

Radu Lazar

Because of the way Pre-Windows 2000 is, you cannot have duplicate names, hense why it is pre-2000 or as I call it, pre-historic. You can use any Pre-2000 name you want, but have your users all use the UPN's. For example, say you have a user with a upn of office@company1.com , and their pre-2000 name is officecmpy1 , your next user could be upn office@company2.com, with a pre-2000 name of officecmpy2 ..... This is how I would do it on our servers when say I have a 5 users named Mike, they can't all have the same Pre-2000 login name, but they all use UPN's, so I would setup mike@company1.com, mike@company2.com etc.... does that help?

OWA uses UPN's, and in Exchange 2007 I believe that is the only way you can do things like POP3, etc.... Hopefully Pre-2000 names will go away after Longhorn, but Microsoft has to keep it for now for all the program's that don't use UPN's for security, etc.

Hi All
The work that Lyle Epstein aka “GoldenDog” is very valuable for all that would like to use Exchange 2007 for hosted environments, without a provisoning system but if you would like to do it From an MS perspective Exchange 2007 support for hosting environments was solved after they launch Microsoft Solution for Hosted Messaging and Collaboration version 4.0 you can locate their solution at
http://www.microsoft.com/serviceproviders/solutions/hostedmessaging.mspx
Cheers

Awesome guide GoldenDog.....

The only issue we are having is that now, when we try to setup a new mail profile it gives us the following error.
"The name cannot be resoved. The name cannot be matched to a name in the address list."

Any suggestions?? It must be a permission issue, Does the autodiscovery part need to be done if you are manually setting up Outlook 2003 and 2007?

It works fine from OWA.

Thanks in advance.

Autodiscovery doesn't need to be done if you are manually doing it in Outlook 2007 or if you are using Outlook 2003.  As for your other error,  are you using RPC over HTTPS or are you connected in non cached mode?

I have tried RPC over HTTPS, launching a VPN, and even on the same network as the Xchg 07 box.

We thought it might have something to do with the dSHeuristics setting, so we even tried making it the same value as before (which was no value). It still isn't working.

So now we are thinking it might have been something in the permissions, and we have created a security group and started giving it full rights to the address book values in ADSI, but still no luck.

We are open to any ideas/suggestions.

Edited: We created a 2nd mailbox database file for our hosted mail. Is there some special considerations we should have know about?

Thanks again.

What permissions do you have on the GAL? if you set them back to default and set the user to use the default GAL, do you get the error?

I set all the permissions on the users back to the default on the default GAL.
How do you set a user's default GAL? The only step we saw, was the 2 steps where you create a GAL and set the recipientfilter to the company name. The strange thing is that the users that were not in the "dogfood" company were getting the GAL and OAB addresses assigned to them.

Here is the whole scenerio...

We created "dogfood" company, but we never created our "company" for our email that is on the Xchg box. After that we could no longer setup Outlook mail profiles, change contacts, etc.

Should we still be able to setup mail profiles in Outlook 03 and 07, after making the changes in the guide?
 
It's working after I set all the default permissions back in ADSI, removed the "dogfood" GAL and the email address list policy.

Thanks again GoldenDog.

Sam

Set the user back to the Default Global Address List, which is the default. Follow the guide as it will explain in the Powershell.

You should be able to setup profiles after making these changes.  We would not want to stop this from happening otherwise hosting would not work well.

Goldendog,

I would like to force the user to use their full email address as their username when logging into OWA. I have setup making it so it is possible for the user to logon with their UPN, but I would like to force it to be that.

ie. Force Joe Smith to use joe.smith@joescomputers.com vs just using joe.smith to logon.

Does anyone know if there a way to enable this?
Or are there some good solutions to take care of the issue of same username logon with 2 different companies?

This is a old thread, but since the guide I wrote last year, people have been telling me that my guide doesn't work correctly with SP1. David Goldman at Microsoft has released a new guide today that should walk you through setting it up for SP1 hosted enviroments. For the white paper, click this link http://msexchangeteam.com/archive/2008/02/06/448062.aspx

Hi Lyle
I have set up a small hosting solution, using your excellent guide. Everything works fine, and now I'm now looking at installing SP1. I can see from your message, that there is some problems with this.
I have read David Goldman's guide, and there seems to be some differences with the security settings at address list, but that's pretty much it. Do you, or others, have any experience upgrading to sp1, what needs to be changed ? Is it just at matter of upgrading, and then running the power shell commands that David descripes ? I will offcourse be testing this in my lab, but it would be nice to from somebody who have tried this.
Thanx

Svend-Erik

I had one guy who followed my guide and then after doing so, everything worked fine, but then when he upgraded to SP1, and then started making more users and domains, the permissions didn't work right. So I had him contact David Goldman and was told that it has to do with the permissions, and David was going to make one that was more correct and will work fine. That is why the new guide just came out. I think also the article that is on here from Uri Silva  should also be updated as it does the same thing as mine with the permissions.

so take a look at David Goldman's guide it is fully correct. When I have a few minutes in the next week I am going to fix mine with David's guide, and hopefully update my step by step if David's is not better, but either way, follow the newest and I will fix mine soon as well.

Glad you liked it, it took a lot of time to make, but I made it for our community to enjoy and help grow the hosted Exchange 2007 world for us smaller guys.

Lyle
