I doubt many people reading this don&#8217;t know how to set a static IP. If you don&#8217;t know how to set a static IP, head to Google now (it&#8217;s simple).<\/li>\n<li>Of course, you&#8217;ll want to <strong>edit your hosts file<\/strong> with the name of your mail server, etc. In other words, if the name of your mail server is &#8220;mail.dooda.com&#8221;, you need the following in your hosts file:\n<pre>127.0.0.1    mail.dooda.com<\/pre>\n<\/li>\n<li>Make sure that either <strong>your firewall is off<\/strong>, or, that you&#8217;ve opened the required web server and mail ports.<\/li>\n<li>Turn on <strong>Automatic Updates<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Set <strong>Net.TCP Port Sharing service to AUTOMATIC<\/strong> (open the Services manager from the Administrative Tools start link, or, just type &#8220;services.msc&#8221; from a command prompt).<\/li>\n<li><strong> Install Filter Pack 1<\/strong> &#8211; you can download it <a href=\"http:\/\/www.webputzer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/FilterPack_1.zip\"><strong>here<\/strong><\/a>. Now, if you are ever prompted to install this a second time (which has happened to me, when doing an update) <a href=\"http:\/\/www.webputzer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/FilterPack_2.zip\"><strong>download and install this one<\/strong><\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Install the <strong>Desktop Experience <span style=\"color: green;\"><em>feature<\/em><\/span><\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Install the <strong>Active Directory Domain Services <span style=\"color: green;\"><em>role<\/em><\/span><\/strong> and, then, run the <strong>Active Directory Domain Services Installation Wizard<\/strong> (dcpromo.exe). This can be run from a command line, or, you can click the link which will be present in the Server Manager under the Active Directory summary. The options for this process are very clear, when they require user interaction &#8211; and when they don&#8217;t, the default values are usually fine. I&#8217;m not going to post pictures, nor, go into any lengthy explanation of how this works. Again, if you get stuck with something here (very unlikely) there&#8217;s always YouTube, Google. etc.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Do NOT add active directory users <\/strong> who are going to have Exchange mailboxes from the Active Directory manager. Users are most easily added from the Exchange Management Console. The EMC will add the users to your active directory. If you add users via the Active Directory Manager you&#8217;ll end up having to delete them (if they need mailboxes) and, to a certain extent, that whole process can confuse the system. Again, you can add Active Directory users via the Exchange Management Console once it&#8217;s installed.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Install the Application Server <span style=\"color: green;\"><em>role<\/em><\/span><\/strong> (IIS, etc.) and be aware that this includes many prerequisites for Exchange. To be on the safe side, I include almost everything (with the exception of the Atomic Transaction feature, and, a few others). You will need the IIS 6 compatibility features installed &#8211; again, I simply install all of them.<\/li>\n<li>Do not modify the bindings for your default web site. If you do, the Exchange Management Console may have problems connecting to your server.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Install Exchange<\/strong>&#8230;.you should have all of your prerequisites met if you&#8217;ve followed this broad outline. The installation routine will do some checking and let you know if anything is missing.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Basically, that&#8217;s it&#8230;..!<\/strong> However, you&#8217;ll have to some jerking around to start sending and receiving mail globally. So, while your finished installing, Exchange is a bit useless until you configure a few things. But it&#8217;s all very easy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Configuring Exchange &#8211; things you need to know<\/h2>\n<p>We&#8217;ll talk about adding users, and some other things, in just a bit. But, first, please review this general information, and, note the crucial tweaks you&#8217;ll need to perform (right away) in order to send and receive mail to and from global sources.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>OWA &#8211; your web mail application &#8211; runs an a secure port (443) with default SSL certificates (which, of course, generates a warning). The URL will be something like this: https:\/\/mail.guysjoint.com\/owa\/<\/li>\n<li><strong>RECEIVING MAIL &#8211; IMPORTANT:<\/strong> <strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You will not be able to receive mail from external sources when Exchange is done.<\/span><\/strong> After you&#8217;ve added a user (we&#8217;ll explain how that&#8217;s done, in a moment) you&#8217;ll see the following failed message if you try send mail to your server from Gmail, Yahoo, or anywhere else:\n<pre>The error that the other server returned was:\r\n530 5.7.1 Client was not authenticated<\/pre>\n<p>You need to do the following: Go to Exchange Management Console &gt; Server Configuration &gt; Hub Transport &gt; Server Default &gt; Receive Connector &gt; Properties. Now, click on last tab &#8211; \u201cPermission Groups\u201d. Check the \u201cAnonymous users\u201d and hit &#8220;Apply&#8221;. Sounds a lot more complicated than it is &#8211; here&#8217;s a graphic:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.webputzer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/image16.png\" width=\"600\" height=\"460\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>SENDING MAIL &#8211; IMPORTANT:<\/strong> <strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You will not be able to send mail to external email accounts (outside of your domain) when Exchange is done.<\/span><\/strong>.

From the drop-down menu (Intended Use) <strong>choose the &#8220;Internet&#8221; option<\/strong>, as seen below (hit <strong>Next<\/strong> when you&#8217;re done):<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.webputzer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/0000.gif\" width=\"600\" height=\"524\"><\/p>\n<p>Now you&#8217;ll see the dialog box displayed below. \u00a0Hit the <strong>ADD<\/strong> button and the \u00a0&#8220;<strong>SMTP Address Space&#8221; \u00a0<\/strong>dialog box will appear. \u00a0The &#8220;Type&#8221; \u00a0will automatically be filled in with <strong>SMTP<\/strong> &#8211; which is what you want. \u00a0For <strong>Address<\/strong> you need to simply <strong>enter an asterisk<\/strong>. \u00a0You can leave the the <strong>Cost<\/strong> option set to &#8220;1&#8221;, and, I usually tick the option to include sub-folders &#8211; that&#8217;s at your discretion (see graphic, below &#8211; and click Next to continue when you&#8217;re done):<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.webputzer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/0001.gif\" width=\"600\" height=\"524\"><\/p>\n<p>\nNow you&#8217;ll see the dialog box, below.
