Multiple SMTP Domains

Multiple SMTP Domains

I have configured multiple smtp domains on exchange (2003, sp2, fe, be 
enviorment). i have configured another  virutal http server with the host 
header of this domain so that it seperates the users from the other domain 
resources, ie. public folder and mailbox stores. however they can only logon 
when they use the smtp domain in the address..
https://webmail.mydomain.com/exchange/user@secondsmtpdomain.com

whenthey log on using the forms based authentication they get a 404 page not 
found, if they use that specified url they can get in fine. any ideas?? 
thanks!

When you add a Virtual Server, you don't need the /Exchange part
(since it has no Exchange VDir - check in IIS Manager).  Are your
users typing in https://hostheadername/exchange ?  They really just
need to go to https://hostheadername .

Re: Multiple SMTP Domains

Have you added the domain to the alternatice UPN's in Domains and Trusts? 
(Right click on Active Directory Domains and Trusts and and it in here)

If you have done this you should be able to select the UPN for the domain 
you require the user to use when logging in under the user profile settings 
in Active Directory Users and Computers

IMO, you should be using a second virtual directory of the 'Mailboxes
for an SMTP domain' type, not a full virtual server.  Running a second
VS on the same box with a different host header isn't necessary, and
just creates more management headaches.

From a security standpoint, you're not sealing them off from the
public store; as long as they are permissioned for it, they can still
log in using the default /exchange/public.  Likewise for the mailbox
store.  If they have permissions to a mailbox on a store, they can hit
it.  If they can't, they won't be able to log in.  Unless you're using
source IP address restrictions as well, there's nothing but cosmetic
"segregation" going on.  

As Lee points out, allowing them to log in using the other UPN
requires changes elsewhere.  But, again, it's just cosmetic/branding,
since it is probable that you are ensuring username (LHS) uniqueness
across all domains, and it's possible to have the users not have to
enter a domain at all.

Re: Multiple SMTP Domains

yes, ive created the upn suffix using ADSI only for that second domain OU 
users.
