I just installed Exchange 2007 and have some questions. - The domain defaults to .local and when I create new users it also defaults to .local I would like my domain to be name@whaever.edu How do Ichange this? - I need to publish the (OAB) Offline Address Book with an Internet Information Services (IIS) virtual directory in order for Outlook 2007 to access and download the OAB? How doI do this?

One thing I am not sure about is the Domain? I did set up the Accepted Domain in the install as test@isle.edu. I want all the new users (new mail boxes) I set up to have john@isle.edu not the default john@itest.local. Thanks

You need to set @isle.edu as reply/primary and not isle.local, check the procedure here... New E-Mail Address Policy Wizard > E-Mail Addresses Page
