Hello:We have some Board members that would like a company email address. I don't mind giving them email address accept that, that means I would need to create an AD user in order to create the mailbox. These board members are not company employees, just board members.My question is this: Can I create mailboxes for them without allowing them to logon to a domain computer? I am concerned that since they will be able to login to OWA that they theoritically could log onto a computer that is attached to the domain. I want them to be able to login to OWA, but not any physical computer attached to the domain.Thanks for your help.Miller-IT

Hi Miller, You can create a user account and restrict the account to only log on to CAS server. Please restart IIS after set restriction. Mike Shen TechNet Subscriber Support in forum If you have any feedback on our support, please contact tngfb@microsoft.com

Thanks Rajnish, but I already saw that technet forum question. and it wasn't the answer i was looking for. thanks for the reply though.

This is exactly what i was looking for.Thank you very much.My board members and my security team will be very pleased.Miller-it

Let me ask you another question:I know I can (and how to) forward the emails to an alternate email address. Since these outside board members would rarely check this email. What I would like to know is if there is a way to "forward" (for lack of a better phrase/term) a noticification email to another account that will let them know (basically), that they have mail to read in my company's email?mail flow is this:someone here sends mail to board of dir. --> it goes to the persons email box, --> then that box sends a "notice" to someother mailbox (not a company email) to basically say "you got mail to read" at <insert company name>?ThanksMiller-it

Hi Miller, Firstly, I recommend that you create a thread for other problems in order to have more experts help you regarding the issue. Base on my knowledge, there is no easy method to forward a notification to external recipient. Nevertheless, I think that you can consider following workaround: 1. Create a mailbox rule to have server reply a specific message (Notification) 2. On the Exchange 2007 Hub Server, redirect the notification to external recipient’s email address Mike Shen, TechNet Subscriber Support in forum If you have any feedback on our support, please contact tngfb@microsoft.com
