[...] Remember that administrator password we have used when we first created our TestOrg in part 1 of this tutorial? Well it is now time to use it … This tutorial is part of 4 parts tutorial on Exchange 2010 multi-tenancy support Part 1: Installation of Exchange 2010 SP1 in hosting mode Part 2: Creating and deleting Organizations in Exchange 2010 SP1 hosting mode Part 3: Managing Organization in Exchange 2010 SP1 hosting mode Part 4: Sending and receiving emails in Exchange 2010 SP1 hosting mode [...]

For the inter-org emails, you wrote:

>>Well I am sure there are a lot of ways to do this but, since I am in a lab environment with only one server I have created a send connector for all the organizations smtp domains and set it to use the loopback IP address as smart-host connector

Can you think of a better way that's more generic so that we don't have to modify each org every time we add another org domain?

THanks

well the idea is to have the email reach you hub transport server(s) you can use, for example, a mail relay and the latter will use DNS (MX) for routing and thus this will result in it sending the email back to right where it came from. this should also work

How can I migrate a mailbox from exchange 2007 into exchange 2010 sp1 tenant host?

I already have my new 2010sp1 tenant server up and running, I want to move my old exchange mailbox from my old 2007 exchange server (obviously a different organization all together) to the new tenant server. I know I need to use the powershell preparemoverequest.ps1 but I need to detailed guidance on the entire procedure. Anyone done this yet???? Thanks!

Would it be possible to write more about this?

I am sorry and unexperienced about this. But my main problem is the inter-organizational communication. everything else works fine.

I am able to move an interorg mailbox to a NON tenant 2010 sp1 server using this procedure:

Step1

cd C:program filesmicrosoftexchange serverv14scripts

$Local = Get-Credential (newdomainadministrator)
$Remote = Get-Credential (olddomainadministrator)

Step2

.Prepare-MoveRequest.Ps1 -Identity mailboxnamesgoeshere -RemoteForestDomainController olddomaincontroller.local -RemoteForestCredential $Remote -LocalForestDomainController newdomaincontroller.local LocalForestCredential $Local -UseLocalObject

Step3

New-MoveRequest -Identity mailboxnamesgoeshere -RemoteLegacy -TargetDatabase “Mailbox Database 0534644139″ -RemoteGlobalCatalog olddomaincontroller.local -RemoteCredential $Remote -TargetDeliveryDomain “externaldomainname.com” -baditemlimit 10

step4

– disconnect mailbox then reconnect to new AD account

However,
In tenant mode, since there is no EMC, I cannot perform step 4. Do you know how to disconnect the mailbox and reconnect it to the new AD account?

Hi – Followed your tutorial, but sending Inter-Organization emails brings this error:
#554 5.4.4 SMTPSEND.DNS.MxLoopback; DNS records for this domain are configured in a loop

Any idea?

Brilliant Tutorials. Works perfectly. Just one question?

Oviously this creates different administrators for each organization from which you can manage each organization through ECP/OWA but is there a way to allow organization A to manage organization B through ECP?OWA?

ie:
Organization A is the company selling the hosted exchange.
Organization B is the client who purchased the exchange.

Staff at Organization A only use the standard OWA/ECP for support can they manage Organization B?

I'd also like further details on this.

Can you explain the Send Connector configuration in more detail. I have followed your guide, but have a dedicated MX server to receive mail and a dedicated SMTP server to send. I can not get mail to flow between organizations on the hosted exchange. Receive connectors are using IPs of MX server. Send connectors are using IP of SMTP server.

Thanks for an awesome tutorial!
I've just setup a test environment using this.

Exchange and Windows servers are pretty new to me, I usually administrate *NIX servers.
One thing though. What about backups in multi-tenant, what options are there?
We are planing on setting up a DAG when we are putting it in the production environment, but is there something that let you take backup of all the mailboxes and restore them, and maybe restore single emails? How does this work.

Thanks for any information I get!

Thanks Awesome Tutorial !
Is there a way to view all send connectors & also how do you remove a send connector ?

Thanks SIr for the Valuable Info, i never thought that i would be ablt to do all this .. Thanks to the tutorial .. my exchange multi setup is running and tested.
Thanks to u …

Amazing Tutorial — Great One..I appreciate it

This is Hands Down, an amazing article. How would I go about enableing SMTP and POP3 settings globaly

I am running exchange 2010 SP1 in hosting mode. I need to increase the send/receive size limits. How would I go about doing that without breaking the send/receive connectors?
