SBS 2008: setting up 2nd e-mail address for exchange

I wanted to setup a 2nd e-mail address to come in for exchange users.
I didn't want to run the wizard because the e-mail address we have is
working like a charm now (thanks to everyone help here) but the owner
wants to use the 2nd e-mail address as his main e-mail...i can't seem
to find steps to do this or even if it is advisable. I had the person
in charge of the name point the A record at the server IP address, but
don't know where to go from there...

Are you asking to ...........

John.Smith@domain.com to JSmith@domain.com or are you looking to change
John.Smith@newdomain.com for all users?

Or to add, add @newdomain.com so Exchange handles both @domain.com and
@newdomain.com?

Yes, that is what i'm looking to do...right now it is working
correctly for: joe@domain1.com and i want to add a joe@domain2.com to
the mix...just for e-mail...

I would probably post this in the Exchange NG. I'm not 100% sure of the
correct answer so instead of giving you an eroneus answer that may casue you
problems I'll just give you what I think needs to happen. Obviously the
outside world needs to know about domain2.com. Which means an mx record and
A record needs to be put in place. I'l leave it at that and let someone more
knowledgable chime in perhaps. .

Thanks for the suggestion, but i hesitate to do that only because they
are more Exchange on Windows server minded and not SBS minded - so i
don't want to get advice that will go against SBS "wizards" rules that
might harm my setup...

Does anyone else have a suggestion?

Don't bother with the wizard on this one.

There are two parts to this one. First, you add an additional accepted
domain. Then you create or add to your recipient policy, the new domain
name, so it will populate your current user's email addresses. Don't forget,
only one of them can be the default reply-to domain. If you don't want all
users to have this additional domain name as an email address, you have to
use attribute filtering, such as possibly on a department name, etc, which
you would create multiple recipient policies.

Here's a good tutorial. It's all in here.

Configuring Exchange 2007 to Accept Email for Additional Domain

This is fairly common actually, but since SBS is really for the small
business, there is no wizard to my knowledge.

Google for how to do this in Exchange 2007 and follow those steps. I've
done it plenty on SBS and it doesn't add problems.

You *should* be aware of what you've done though and document it thoroughly
as some SBS wizards may UNDO that work (such as the fix my network wizard)
and you'll end up redoing the process after using such a wizard.

You are welcome. Let us know how you make out.

Ace

again, thanks for all the help with this one...i remoted in last night
and went through the steps in that article and they were almost
perfect...there was one thing that wasn't "sbs centric" in them, in
that they ask you to update the policy - they want you to "Select the
Default e-mail address policy that you want to modify" Well, in the
SBS setup (at least mine) there were two policies in there - "Windows
SBS Email Address Policy" and a "Default Policy" So, i did the
Default Policy first, because the steps said "default", but felt it
was most likely the other one (Windows SBS Email Address
Policy"...when it didn't work for the Default one, i updated the other
and worked like a charm...i only setup my e-mail to test it and this
morning went in to update the others but the policy had already done
that for me...

Awesome! SBS puts in it's own policy, since which the default has basically
nothing in it on SBS, the SBS policy applies, so you did the right thing.

Let us know if you have any other questions.
