The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

DNS configuration SBS 2003 with exchange 2003

Asked by jiggamoose in SBS Small Business Server

Tags: , , ,

I'm a bit of a newbie and I am desperate for some assistance.

Setting up SBS 2003 with Exchange 2003 for mail to be hosted on our server.  Very small company, we only have 1 server that will be doing this all.

I have searched thru all the threads and can't get anything specific enough to help me out so hopefully someone can look at my specific situation.

I've up mycompany.local as the internal domain.

I want to configure Exchange to be our mail server for our employees.

However, when I run the Exchange Mail wizard setup tool - after I get to the part about whether I want to send and receive email - I click next and keep getting the message "To send Internet email the selected server cannot be a bridgehead server" then it won't allow me to do anything else.

I believe this MAY be a result of faulty DNS configurations (although I am not positive) The whole .local thing is confusing me in terms of configuring the DNS.  Our company website is hosted externally and we have a registered domain mycompany.com, yet I want to internally house the mail server on the SBS 2003.  We previously ran an inhouse mail server on Domino R5.

The DNS was automatically configured when I set up SBS2003

Forward lookup zone is mycompany.local
SOA is myservername.mycompany.local
NS is myservername.mycompany.local
myservername HOST (A) 192.168.1.20 (my server's IP)

If I do NSLOOKUP I get "can't find server name for 192.168.1.20" "non-existant domain name"
server: unknown
IP: 192.168.1.20

If someone can please provide specifics on what I need to do to resolve this, it would be greatly appreciated.

Time is of the essence!

Thanks a million!
