Round Cube Webmail // give me a min.. need to catch my breath… “WoW… just WoW†Great Job you guys.
This tutorial assumes you have Server 2003 R2, Apache, PHP5, MySQL5, hMailServer, and Active Directory already setup.
Notes: On my server I have 2 harddrives. HD1 is split into 2 partitions… C: and D: HD2 E:C:= windows OS
D:= installed 3 party programs (IE: D:\PHP5, D:\www for apache etc)
You may need to change the D: references according to your setup. E:= mail storage.
Scenario
-----------------------------We have 2 different computers.
Machine 1(referred to as “PDC†in this tutorial: Primary Domain Controller) has an address of 192.168.1.254 This is the ldap3 or Active Directory server.
Machine 2(referred to as “Mail Machineâ€ÂÂ): This machine runs www, mail, Round Cube, MySQL, and has an internal address of 192.168.1.253. It also has an external address that DNS and MX records point to. Thats 2 network cards.
I will be accessing Active Directory on "PDC"(192.168.1.254 remote machine) from "Mail Machine"(192.168.1.253 local machine)
Lets say my domain is for an elementary school.
Webpage is
http://southtown.k12.mo.us // DNS points to my external address of "Mail Machine"
My mail comes to
ImUrHuckleBerry@southtown.k12.mo.us // MX records point to external address of "Mail Machine"
"PDC" (Server 2003) Domain:= southtown.k12.mo.us // The 192.168.1.254 "PDC" Machine
Added a container to Active Directory:= Southtown School District
Added containers to the Active Directory Southtown School District container:= Management, Instructors, Tech Dept, Students
Added users to each of these new containers.
Containers and users in the Active Directory on "PDC" look like this
