i have just setup my exchange server after many problems i can finally access my inbox, calendar and contacts from a client or iphone using activesync i have the same internal domain as external however i cannot get my clients to access the server using my domain, i can only enter the internal ip address for the server 192.168.0.20 i can change the dns server of my network connections on the client to point to my dns /exhchange server and then use the domain however it wont work if i dont specify the dns i have my domain setup by adding an a record to my wan ip, this used to show the router config but i removed external config so now nothing gets resolved how can i set it up so i can just use the domain name (i want to use the same domain for internal and external) i also have another domain which is setup for a private webhosting account completly separate from this setup, and i want to make it so my exchange server accepts the mail for this domain, im assuming i just need to change the mx record and setup a new accepted domain in exchange, im not sure how i would route all the mail from this external server into a single address on my exchange server, as it accepts wildcard emails such as anythinghere@example.com *@example.com at the moment i can recieve all these from the master address / catch all so i dont need to setup separate accounts, this is using pop3 currently, i also have a gmail account which i would like to route to my exchange server, furthermore i do NOT intend to use the email address of my exchange server so it is important that i can recieve email into my exchange server account from these external accounts running server 08 and exchange 07 sp2 on hp proliant dl360 thanks for any help

well did you set the external url on the virtual directories like owa and active sync? did you create the certificate with the names tha t you will use externally?this can help you understand http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb123946.aspxthats right you need to add a new accepted domain a point mx to the exchange 2007, just add@example.com that will accept all messages from that domainCapecolMCSA - MCTS Exchange Server 2007

hi there, i removed ssl security using the help and put in the same urls for internal and external i also added a dns record for my network adaptor to the server which will show up identi.tv when i open it, and if i remove it i cant access it any more, so i guess the problem im having is the internet dns isnt picking up my domain, it would be much easier if i could setup a nameserver and point the domain nameservers to that, but then how will it know the ip of the server etc.. cheers for your help, ill add an mx record when the dns resolves i was also thinking about this, and currently all my domains have nameservers for my 3rd party hosting account which i also want to use this domain on but i still want to retain exchange abilites on the other ports of the domain eg port 80 = my 3rd party hosting other ports such as 25 etc point to my server
