: In using separate zones, local & com, After creating the 'local' zone
: in AD, I create a 2nd forward lookup zone with the public name and
: create an mx record with the internal ip address of the exchange
: server ? right ?
No you do not want an MX record in the internal zone. They can only lead to
confusion.
But you do need a record fot the host name to the internal '.com' zone.
If you access exchange by 'mail.example.com' then in your internal
'example.com' zone create a record named 'mail' and give it the internal IP
of Exchange.
You will also need to add the public domain to Exchange, System manager,
Recipients, Select Recipient Policies, then in the Right hand pane, double
click on Default Policies. Select the E-Mail Addresses Tab, Click new, SMTP
address Type in '@example.com', then set the deafult email address, then OK
out.

: Then arent 2 email addresses needed for each user, 1 for internal & 1
: for external ?
: I dont mean to keep beating this horse.......Thanks gentlemen.....

No, just set the users default email address to the external address.
You can also go in to AD Domains and Trusts and add the email domain as a
UPN logon name, then users can logon by their email address (
[email protected]
instead of (e-mail address removed))
I can't find the article here is how to do it.
Go to ADD&T, at the very top highlight and right click on Active Directory
Domains and Trusts, choose properties. Type in the email domain in the
Alternative UPN suffixes field, then click Add.
There is no way I know of to make your email domain the default UPN, but it
will add your external Email domain to the drop down list of the user
account properties on the account tab in ADU&C.
