SBS 2008 have added the ability to create mail-enabled security groups that can archive the emails they receive in companyweb.
The following steps outline the process to create a new security group, mail-enable it and archive the messages send to the group in the companyweb.
From the Windows SBS Console, select the Users and Groups tab, and click to Add a new group
Go through the wizard,
supply the name for the group, make sure you select the Security Group option and then enable the group to receive emails
Provide the email address for the group, select whether outside users can email to it or not and whether you want to archive the emails the group receives.
Select the members for the group,
After the wizard successfully completes, click Finish…
and the new group is listed in the SBS Console
Open the browser and go to companyweb (http://companyweb). Click on Archived E-mails on the left
In the Archived E-Mails subsite, you’ll see a new document library with the name of the security group we just created. Every email that this group receives will be saved in this library.
Hey, I was wondering why you chose to use security groups instead of distribution groups. Care to elaborate on that a bit?
Hi,
The feature to archive emails, is only available through mail-enabled security groups, not distribution groups.
It’s amazing
