Using the Windows NT/Active Directory Database

If your IMail user database is a Windows NT Database, IMail Server creates a user mail account for each user listed in the Windows NT Database. The user mail accounts are created, as necessary, when the mail server receives a message addressed to the user or when a user accesses the IMail Server from a mail client . You cannot add or delete users using IMail Server Administrator; instead, you need to use the Windows NT User Manager. If you are using Active Directory, you need to set IIS to use a domain user.

To configure IMail Administrator virtual directory for anonymous access in IIS:

1. Click Start > Programs > Administrative Tools > Internet Information Services. The Internet Information Services Manager appears.
2. Click + next to Web Sites. The Web Sites folders expand.
3. Click + next to Default Web Site. The Web Sites folder expands.

   

4. Right-click IAdmin, select Properties. The IAdmin Properties dialog box appears.
5. Click the Directory Security tab, then click Edit in the Anonymous access and authentication control section. The Authentication Methods dialog box appears.
6. Click to clear the Anonymous access option.
7. Make sure that the Integrated Windows authentication option is selected.
8. Click OK to exit the dialog boxes.
9. Make sure that the IMail administrator has domain administrative privileges for the domain that the remote server is on.
