MS Exchange: Configuring the Outside Server


Follow these steps to configure the outside Microsoft Exchange server:

  1. On the outside Microsoft Exchange server, click the Network entry in the Start>Settings>Control Panel. In the Ethernet adapter Properties section, set the primary WINS (Windows Internet Name System) address to the IP address of the outside system, in this case, 209.165.201.2. Set the secondary WINS address to the global address from the static command statement, 209.165.201.5.

  2. Also in the Network entry, click Services>Computer Browser. Ensure that the outside server is the master browser for the server's outside domain, which in this case, is pixout.

  3. Click Start>Programs> WINS Manager. Click Mappings>Static Mappings. Add a static mapping for the inside server's domain, pixin, with the global address from the static command statement, 209.165.201.5. Also add a unique mapping for the inside server's name, inserver, and set it as well to the global address from the static command statement. Then save the new information and exit the WINS Manager.

  4. Next, establish a trusted, trusting relationship between the outside server's domain, pixout and the inside server's domain, pixin. Click Start>Programs>Administrative Tools>User Manager for Domains. Then click Policies>Trust Relationship and click Trusting Domain. Add a trusting domain for the inside server's domain and assign a password to it.

    Then establish a trusted domain for pixin by clicking Trusted Domain.

  5. Exit the application and reboot the Windows NT system.
