Setting up an Exchange Server
This section provides you with step-by-step instructions to configure the
Exchange Integration feature in AltiWare OE.
In the example that follows, the AltiServ system is called TELESYSTEM,
and the Exchange Server is called MAILSERVER, and both systems
belong to the NT domain called ALTICHINA.
EIAssist Aids Exchange Server Integration
AltiWare Exchange Integration Assistant (EIAssist) is designed to
help customers synchronize AltiWare messaging services with
Microsoft Exchange Server. Basic functions include:
• Retrieving relevant configuration information from Altiserv.
• Viewing and configuring Altiserv messaging and messaging
services.
• Adding and editing physical extensions in Altiserv.
• Modifying Altiserv extension user names as needed for
synchronization with Exchange Server.
• Retrieving mailbox information from Microsoft Exchange
Server.
• Associating Altiserv extension users with Exchange mailboxes,
and associating Exchange mailboxes with Altiserv extensions.
• Checking the Microsoft Exchange messaging system.
• Viewing and modifying Microsoft Exchange services.
EIAssist should run on Windows NT 4.0 (or higher). It connects with
Altiserv via DCOM. In Windows NT 4.0, DCOM is a default
function. EIAssist connects with Microsoft Exchange Server via
MAPI. For it to work, make sure your computer has installed
Microsoft messaging system. Installing Outlook from Microsoft
Office 97 makes the messaging system available.
If EIAssist is not already installed and available, you can install
EIAssist by TBD. Use the Help menu if you have questions on using
this utility application.
