Given an intermittent connection, yes, I believe you have made a mistake
building the server in the same site. I would build a new site and connect
via an X.400 connector.

Subject: Need advice adding a new server...
We have another office that we want to get up on exchange 5.5. We have a
single domain and a working Exchange 5.5 server locally here running on a
PDC with OWA installed. The office connects to the network via an ISDN line
that (recently at least) seems prone to downtime.
We have already installed an exchange server at the office. We installed it
on a BDC and made it a new server in our Existing Site. However I am
beginning to think we may have gone about this wrong. A couple of reasons:
1. They need a different email address, but since it is in the same site
the default site addressing can't be changed, without changing the site
addressing for us, forcing the admin to manual change each mail box.
2. The MS knowledge base says that the ISDN connection speed is just barely
adequate for two servers in the same site.
My question is if we remove this server and create them as a different site
will OWA still work for the new mailboxes over at the office? It does right
now but I don't know how a site connector would affect things. We do NOT
want to install IIS on there server unless we absolutely have to. We would
like them to go to our main web page and get access to there mailboxes from
there.
Also Is there a way that if we keep the new server in the same site as our
existing main server that we can set up a different default SMTP address for
each server? For example are email is [EMAIL PROTECTED] and the new
office needs email address of [EMAIL PROTECTED]
If you need me to clarify anything let me know.
Thanks in advance
