Microsoft Exchange Connection Setup

From a Macintosh computer on your local area network (LAN), you can connect to the Connector postoffice after you configure it as a Macintosh-accessible volume on the Windows NT Server computer. The MS Mail (AppleTalk) server computer uses AppleShare, a Macintosh file sharing protocol, to connect to the Connector postoffice just as if it were an AppleShare server.

Setting up Microsoft Exchange Connection includes the following tasks:

• Connect to the Microsoft Mail Connector postoffice.
• Install the Microsoft Exchange Connection software.
• Configure the Microsoft Exchange Connection.
• Set the connection times.

Connecting to the Microsoft Mail Connector Postoffice

You must connect to the Connector postoffice from the Macintosh server to install Microsoft Exchange Connection software. The MS Mail (AppleTalk) administrator should configure the Chooser to connect to the volume that contains the Connector postoffice at startup. If the volume is not available to the Macintosh server, mail will not be transferred.

1. From the Apple menu, choose the Chooser.



2. Choose the AppleShare icon.
3. In the Select a file server box, select the name of the Microsoft Exchange Server computer, and then choose OK.



4. Type the name and password to access the volume.
5. Choose OK to display the available volumes.



6. In the Select the items you want to use box, select the volume that contains the Microsoft Mail Connector postoffice, and then choose OK.
7. Select the check box to the right of the volume to open the connection at startup.
8. Choose OK, and quit the Chooser.
