Subject: Re: exchange 2003 & DNS

Firstly, let me say that I was brought onsite to do analysis and this is one
of many things I've found wrong with the Exchange config.



To answer your question, I think it was put in place when the server was
replaced, and they didn't want to run around to workstations reconfiguring
exchange profiles. They didn't know Exchange is smart if you move a mailbox
(headstones,etc.). Problem is, old server no longer exists in the
organization.



Any ideas of the implications of this?
