Accepted domains for Exchange 2010

Answering a gentleman's question at a TechNet forum recently involves an issue in exchange Management-the accepted domain. The accepted domain itself is not a new concept, nor is it a technical difficulty, but some administrators do not understand and do not use it in practical applications. So I think, we people, these so-called MVP, the so-called "experts" are actually more than the public experience, more access to the latest technology opportunities. Can we spare more time to share our experience, knowledge, and skills with those who are more in need of our help? I have always been a little cold on the "elite" route, and I believe the application is king. After all, the technical elite is a minority, technical elite is an indispensable mainstay of the industry, but the overall level of the industry alone with a few technical elite is not. Only the overall level of employees to promote the level of the entire industry to promote, so I would like to appeal: let us all help everyone--help each other--heo!

There are two types of accepted domains, one is the authoritative accept domain and the other is the relay accepted domain. By default, the root domain of a forest automatically becomes the authoritative accepted domain. Exchange server will only receive messages sent to the mail domain listed in the accepted Domains list, or relay. Typically, in the case of an enterprise internal domain name different from an external domain name, we need to create an accepted domain for the external domain name so that Exchange server can process messages that are sent to the extranet domain name. For example, our default domain is beijing.cn, this is the name of the enterprise domain, if we do not register on the public network to this domain name, only registered to the shanghai.cn domain name, this time the public network users can only send mail to the xxx@shanghai.cn address. In this case, if we do not make any settings, Exchange does not receive messages sent to shanghai.cn.

To enable Exchange to receive messages sent to shanghai.cn and route messages to the user's mailbox correctly, we need to complete the two-step setup task: First, create a new shanghai.cn accepted domain; Automatically add xxx@shanghai.cn e-mail addresses for objects that need to use this mail domain. First, as shown in figure one, create a new authoritative accept domain.

Figure I

Open the Exchange Management Console, expand the Organization Configuration node, choose Hub Transport, click the Accepted Domain tab, and see a default accepted domain, which is the forest root domain. Next, locate the new accepted field command in the task pane on the right, and the left mouse button to open the Configuration Wizard. As shown in Figure II:

In this setup interface, name the new accepted domain and add the domain name, in this case, select authoritative domain instead of the next two "relay domains," and then tap the New button. Notice where the red line is framed in the picture. The new effect is as shown in Figure three:
