Regarding the Two groups, how do you associate permissions to the Admins and what do you use the Company Security group for?
Sorry for so many questions. From: Michael B. Smith [mailto:mich...@smithcons.com] Sent: 13 December 2011 17:35 To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Hosting with SP2. Assume a domain: example.local; also known as dc=example, dc=local. NetBIOS name of domain is EXAMPLE. Create a OU named Hosting; also known as ou=hosting, dc=example, dc=local For each company, create an OU subordinate to Hosting. For example, Company1, Company2, etc. Example: Ou=Company1, ou=hosting, dc=example, dc=local Ou=Company2, ou=hosting, dc=example, dc=local Each company requires a unique prefix as well as a unique domain. In each company OU, create a group for users in that company and a group for admins in that company. Populate them as you create users and/or admins. Within each company OU, you can create a user named John Smith. So you can have CN=John Smith, ou=Company1, ou=hosting, dc=example, dc=local CN=John Smith, ou=Company2, ou=hosting, dc=example, dc=local Etc. The unique prefix is used to create the Exchange Alias and the sAMAccountName. Typically, they are arbitrary. So, for Company1, let's call the prefix C1. For Company2, C2. So, John Smith of Company1 has the following attributes: Name: John Smith sAMAccountName: C1_JSmith Exchange Alias: C1_JSmith UPN: jsm...@company1.com<mailto:jsm...@company1.com> Etc.etc. For John Smith of Company2, replace the C1 with a C2, and company1.com with company2.com.

Ok, how do you get around having 50 customers and say 3 users called John Smith (JSmith), I tried creating different UPNs so they could log onto OWA separately for each company. us...@company1.com<mailto:us...@company1.com> us...@company2.com<mailto:us...@company2.com> Also, any info on Public folder tree per customer would be great! Thanks guys. From: Tom Kern [mailto:tpk...@gmail.com]<mailto:[mailto:tpk...@gmail.com]> Sent: 13 December 2011 17:04 To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Re: Hosting with SP2. Things are different now. ABPs is not true multi tenancy the way /Hosting was/is. If the desire is to have 2 or more Orgs pointing to the same external contact then you can get away with New-MailContact -Name "Contact A" -ExternalEmailAddress SMTP:t...@test.com<mailto:smtp%3at...@test.com> -PrimarySmtpAddress a...@a.com<mailto:a...@a.com> New-MailContact -Name "Contact B" -ExternalEmailAddress SMTP:t...@test.com<mailto:smtp%3at...@test.com> -PrimarySmtpAddress b...@b.com<mailto:b...@b.com> Since we don't care about duplicate target addresses... But you won't be able to have the same sAMAccountName or proxy address or UPN as Michael stated.

Are you saying I am not missing anything on my configuration, things are just different now? One other thing, can companies keep their own Ads? From: Michael B.

You have to segregate via OU and it works just fine. You can't have a conflicting sAMAccountName or upn, but otherwise - everything else can be identical. Regards, Michael B.

Has anybody managed to get their hands on any command sets for SP2 multi tenancy yet? I played with the address lists and policy's but I must of missed something as I couldn't add two users with the same name between two different companies. In SP1 /Hosting you used the New-Organisation command to segregate in AD.
