Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 Part E

This is the 5th installment in my blog post series on Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 which is based on what I learn on the Infinite Skills video training course of the same name. A recipient is a mail enabled object within the program. User Mail Boxes are assigned to individuals.  EAC & EMS create user mailboxes with EAC creating individual ones & EMS creating them several at a time. Users have to have an active directory user account. A Mail User is an object that can access internet resources and has an Active Directory account. To create a mail contact go to EAC and select the recipients tag, select contact then + then fill out the information required. In Exchange Server enabled groups are called distribution groups. In Active Directory an enabled group is a group not security enabled whether mail or not. It's important you know the difference even though both have the same name as you will work with both Exchange Server & Active Directory. You can distribute an email to every member of a distribution group for them all to see. This is done in a shared mailbox which isn't connected to a user but rather a group. To create a shared mailbox go to EAC then click recipient/ shared/ + and of course fill out the information. A mail enabled security group lets you email the group and then all the members can read it. To create a mail enabled security group click recipient/ groups/ -/ security/ and then fill in the group details.
