Hi Jon This should take you to the form: http://contact.microsoft.co.uk/directaccess/channelreadinesskit/ (beta is free of charge) This will give you a taster (but is on the beta help cd anyway): http://www.microsoft.com/directaccess/products/sbs/crk/default.asp What is wrong with the email? - well, to be honest, your instructions for 4.0/4.5 have always worked so well out of the box, I never had the incentive to take time to improve my Exchange Server knowledge!!! So, I don't really know how to define it. In a basic nutshell, outgoing mail stays in the server, and incoming mail - doesn't. Exchange Server has been extremely revamped, so I have so far been unable to 'guess' my way round like I used to. Could be to do with the domain stuff - we are 'myname.co.uk' with Demon, and on my first setup with SBS2000 - which is very DNSy - I accepted 'smallbusiness.local' (putting in 'myname.co.uk' at a later stage of the wizard. Sorry, bit out of my depth. Can't wait for you to get your beta (and revise your instructions :-) If you need any more info re the beta, let me know. Jann p.s. MS Direct Access are doing a free SBS roadshow in November - see DA site.
