Designating Default Domains

  • Artículo

Applies To: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 R2, Windows Server 2003 with SP1

The default domain is used to stamp messages from addresses that do not have a domain. A Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) virtual server can have one default domain that cannot be deleted.

To name a default domain, you can use the name specified on the DNS tab for the TCP/IP protocol in the Network application in Control Panel. This domain name is also used for all other services. Alternatively, you can specify a unique domain to serve as the default for the SMTP service only.

At startup, the name designated on the DNS tab for the TCP/IP protocol in the Network application in Control Panel is automatically used for the default domain. If you change the name on the DNS tab, the new name is used automatically for the default domain the next time the service is started. No action is required to update the default domain for the SMTP service.

To override the automatic use of the network domain, specify the default domain on the General tab. The SMTP service can then use the designated name instead of the network domain.

Important

You must be a member of the Administrators group on the local computer to perform the following procedure or procedures. As a security best practice, log on to your computer by using an account that is not in the Administrators group, and then use the runas command to run IIS Manager as an administrator. At a command prompt, type runas /User:Administrative_AccountName "mmc systemroot\system32\inetsrv\iis.msc".

Procedures

To rename the default domain

  1. In IIS Manager, expand the SMTP virtual server, and then click Domains.

  2. In the details pane, right-click a domain name, and then click Rename.

  3. Type a new name for the default domain.
