AUTOCOMPLETE IN OUTLOOK 2000 FAILS WHEN MOVED TO EXCHANGE SERVER

Outlook needs to know whether or not autocomplete should match from the local client contacts or the Global Address List on the Exchange Server.

Click TOOLS, SERVICES to bring up the Services dialog box. Click the ADDRESSING tab. Use the following values for Outlook 2000 connected to MS Exchange email server with Global Address List:

 Show this address list first:  Global Address List
 Keep personal addresses in: Contacts
 When checking mail, che...: Global Address List (first)  Contacts (2nd)

If the user doesn't use local contacts or doesn't care about local contact autocompletion then remove local contacts from the 3rd.

Groups in Exchange

Global groups, in which all the users must come from the same domain.

Domain local groups, in which members can be drawn from any domain in the forest, but permissions can only be granted to the local domain (that is, the domain where the group account resides).

Universal groups, in which members can be drawn from any domain in the forest and be granted permissions anywhere in the forest.

In Microsoft Exchange versions prior to 2003, all mail that cannot be delivered ends up in the Badmail directory. This folder grows infinitely till it runs out of disk space

Exchange 2000: The Badmail folder contains messages that cannot be delivered into your organisation, and also cannot be returned back to the sender. Therefore, the folder typically contains spam, and the files within the folder can usually just be deleted.

Exchange 2003: Badmail is not kept in Exchange 2003 SP1. With SP1 and above tools, it's easy to maintain a "Badmail-free" Exchange environment, or control how big the Badmail folder gets. There are registry keys to modify the behavor of badmail in 2003.
