1) The document details the steps to configure an email client to send and receive email through Microsoft Exchange by setting up the Exchange server, installing Microsoft Office, configuring Exchange server, and testing the mail client using Microsoft Outlook. 2) Key steps include adding domains and receive connectors to the Exchange server, installing the MS Office .iso file, creating mailboxes for two users, and sending a test email between the users to confirm successful configuration of the mail client. 3) Observations noted that Windows Server and Client work together, with Server handling backend services like mailboxes and Client providing the frontend interface through Outlook.

Activity 11:

Mail Client

Amaba, Marcus Albert M. February 14, 2018


CPE42FB1 Engr. Ariel Isidro
Objectives:
1. To configure email client to send and receive email through MS Exchange
Procedures:

SETTING UP EXCHANGE SERVER

1. Start Exchange Management Console by going through Start Programs > MS


Exchange Server > Exchange Management Console.

2. Go to the Exchange Management Console > Hub Transport > Accepted Domains.
Specify the domain you wish to add.
3. Go to Server Configuration > Hub Transport > Receive Connectors. Right click the
Default and select Properties.

4. Go to the Permission Groups and make sure you have checked the Anonymous users.

INSTALLING THE MS OFFICE .ISO FILE

1. First, the file needs to be copied from the remote server provided by our professor. We
used the rsync command properly.
2. After copying the iso file, we used the mount command to extract its components and
for us to install it in the Windows 7 client.

3. After extracting the files, it will be needed to be placed in the file server so we can
access it in the Windows 7 client.

4. By accessing your samba server, you will immediately see the extracted files.
5. The files will be copied to the local windows 7 client for us to install it.

6. The series of screenshots shows the installation process of MS Office 2007. It proves
that the MS Office has been successfully installed.

CONFIGURING EXCHANGE SERVER


1. Go through Receipt Configuration then choose the New Mailbox. Click Next if you
have chosen the ‘User mailbox’.

2. We will start off by creating a mailbox for the first user but keep in mind that two
users within a
domain must be
used to finish the
activity. Click Ok,
then Next.
4. This shows the summary. Finish the procedure.
Note: ‘[email protected]’ was used to test only the mail client. Another mailbox was
set up for ‘[email protected]’.

TESTING ON MS OUTLOOK

1.These set of screenshots show the creation of the first account which is the
'[email protected]' in MS Outlook.

2. Another account which is '[email protected]' is made. Within the screenshots are


the procedures that occurred.
3. We must log-in using the [email protected] to send a test email to
[email protected].

4. After logging in, compose the new email and send it to [email protected].

5. Switch user account to moira's Window 7 account and access the MS Outlook.
6. The message was successfully sent by only using the local network and not using
internet connection.
Observation

In this activity, I have observed that Windows Server and Windows Client co-exist
to backup each other. Windows Server is used for the back-end while Windows is the
front-end. I have made these observations because I noticed that you will not be able to
access the MS Outlook if the mailboxes in Exchange server wasn't set up.

Recommendation

I would recommend future doers of this activity to make sure they have created
multiple users in their local domain because testing the mail client will require two
users. Next, I'd recommend next users that if they have encountered 'a trust relationship'
error within the domain, just disconnect from the local domain and connect to a
workgroup. After that, connect to the domain once again and just restart you machine.

Conclusion

I conclude that an email client was successfully made since the message was
transmitted and received between the two users. The procedures needs to be done first to
achieve the result.

Lessons Learned

I feel like I have learned a lot from this activity. Besides from the POP3, IMAP
and SMTP, I learned the function of the BCC in the email text field that it used to
provide privacy for different recipients. Next, I learned to create mailboxes in the MS
Exchange server. The skill may be used if you are to configure a corporate mail system
as this will be an advantage since setting up mail servers are not simple tasks.
