How To Add/Modify Email Addresses



You will be required to access the server via a remote desktop connection, once connected you will be required to open the Active directory Users and Computers window for this tutorial. Please see the document titled: “How To Access Your Server” and “How To Add A New User Account” which can be found in the Systems support section for information concerning how to locate and open the active directory users and computers window.

Please double click on the users name to open the options for that user.

Navigate straight to the “Email Addresses” menu tab, in this tab click the new button.

Select from this menu SMTP address then click OK to continue

Now you can type in the desired email address. In this example Test.User simply requires a second address so a logical name for Test.User’s second account could be Test.User2@YourCompany.com

Your Users new email address should now be displayed in this list. If this email address is to be the user’s primary (main) address then you will need to click the button “Set as primary” in the bottom right of the window.

Doing so will highlight that address in bold to inform you that the setting has been applied.

Next you will need to de-select the tick box at the bottom left of the window labeled; “Automatically update e-mail addresses based on recipient policy” this will give the user the correct settings.

After this is complete the window should look something like this example with the exception that it should display your actual company domain name.

You may now click apply, and then click OK to exit the users advanced properties.

You can now log off the server in the usual way.
