Exchange Gateway, Best Practices
Best Practices
Install on the Exchange Server -does not have to be the
'main' mailbox server
Must Install the Addressing Components on all Exchange
Servers with mailboxes for proper sync
Install into its own GroupWise Domain (EXCHDOM) -my
name for it.
EXCHDOM should run on the Exchange server local to
its EXCHGATE -The Exchange Gateway
You need the Novell Client AND ConsoleOne on the
Exchange server -easiest way to manage it.
Active Directory with full administrator to the local servers
-again easiest
eDirectory -Use an Admin equivalent -easiest.
“Interact with Desktop” for MTA Screen -does not work for
Exchange Gateway screen
Must set a “Run As” or in Startup as an application for
Advisor.com
the 'screen'.
