This is an old
procedure. Please see the instructions for setting up Outlook 2000 in the Set
up manual.
Changing
your Microsoft Exchange/Networking Password
NOTE: This document
is a straight walk-through of setting up a new user.
Before you start:
Be sure you
are logged on to the Microsoft Network (you should see all the NT servers
in the Network Neighborhood, including SmathersNT2). If not, restart the
computer and log in to Microsoft Networking with smatherslib as the domain.
Be sure you (or your
user) has an account on the SmathersNT2 mail server. If not (or not sure)
call Systems.
Installation:
To install the Microsoft
Exchange mail client, do the following
 | In the Network Neighborhood
folder, open SmathersNT2 folder. |
| Open Win95Xch folder. |
| Double click to run the
Setup program. The only two values you'll have to fill in are MSE Server
(SmathersNT2) and your userid (the same userid used to log on to Microsoft
Networking). |
To install the Microsoft
OUTLOOK98 mail client, do the following
Checking your configuration:
To be sure that your
configuration is correct :
| Open the Inbox icon |
| Select Services on the
Tools menu |
| You should see three
services listed:
 | Microsoft Exchange Server |
| Personal Address Book |
| Personal Folders (optional
use) |
|
| Select "Microsoft Exchange
Server" and press Properties. You should see "SMATHERSNT2" and your name.
Both should be underlined! If they aren't something is wrong, and you need
to change them. |
| Return to previous
screen, and with Microsoft Exchange Client still selected, press Remove
then press "Add..." and add a new MSE client. Fill in the correct values.
|
| If you see Internet Mail
on the Services listed, select it and press Remove |
|
If you are upgrading
(ie, you had an earlier version of the MSExchange Client that worked) be
sure that you delete the Internet Mail service.
|
| Open the MSE Client (ie,
the "Inbox") |
| Select "Services" on
the Tools menu |
| If you see "Internet
Mail" listed, select it and press "Remove" button. |
IMPORTANT:
Look at the Microsoft
Exchange Server Properties. There is a tab labelled "Advanced", and you
should be sure that the box next to "Use network security during logon"
is UNCHECKED or set to NONE (check the MSE properties in ALL profiles if
more than one is set up).
NOTE: The above
operations can be done with the Inbox client closed on the Control Panel
named "Mail" This is also the place where you can set up additional profiles
if more than one person use the same machine for email.
Testing:
When you have installed
the Microsoft Exchange client 5.0, be sure to test it thoroughly before
forwarding any mail. Do this:
| Open the MSE client.
SEND some mail to another address on the new mail server, eg: suzshaw@mail.uflib.ufl.edu |
Tell the recipient
you are testing your mail, ask them to respond.
| SEND some mail to someone
on another mail system, eg: suzshaw@nervm.nerdc.ufl.edu |
Tell the recipient
you are testing your mail, ask them to respond.
| Reply to it, and be sure
your reply is received. |
Changing your password:
| From the Start button,
go to Settings, then Control Panel |
| Open the Passwords icon
(set of keys) |
| Select Other Passwords
and then select Microsoft Networking and press Change. |
| Type your old password
and then your new password TWICE very carefully. Choose a password at least 12 characters long that includes letters and numbers and no real words. |
| If your Microsoft password
is synchronized with your Windows password, you should change your Windows
password at this point (also done from the Passwords icon in the Control
Panel). If you make your new Windows password the same as your new Microsoft
Networking password, you will avoid one extra log in window when you start
your computer. |
