SUMMARY
This article discusses how to troubleshoot issues that you may experience when you use Internet Mail Wizard in Exchange Server 2003. It describes warning and error messages that may occur when you use Internet Mail Wizard to configure Internet mail in your organization.

MORE INFORMATION
Use Internet Mail Wizard in Exchange Server 2003 to configure a server that is running Exchange Server 2003 or Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server to send Internet mail, to receive Internet mail, or to send and to receive Internet mail. Internet Mail Wizard is intended primarily for use in small-sized to medium-sized companies with environments that are less complex than environments in large enterprise companies.

Note that only servers in your organization that are running either Exchange Server 2003 or Exchange 2000 appear on the Server Selection page of the wizard. You cannot use the wizard to configure a server that is running Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5 or earlier.

To run Internet Mail Wizard:
 * 1) Click Start, point to Programs, point to Microsoft Exchange, and then click System Manager.
 * 2) Right-click your Exchange organization, and then click Internet Mail Wizard.
 * 3) Follow the instructions that appear on the pages of the wizard.

The configuration changes that are performed by the wizard are written to a log file, including information about whether these changes are successful or not. The log file is named Exchange Internet Mail Wizard.log and it is located in the My Documents folder of the user who runs the wizard.

Note You cannot run Internet Mail Wizard if any of the following conditions are true:
 * You modified the default configuration settings of the Default SMTP Virtual Server.
 * You created an additional SMTP virtual server.
 * The server is a node on a Windows Cluster service-based cluster.
 * The server is a node on a Network Load Balancing cluster.
 * The server contains multiple network interface cards that are configured with separate networks, where Internet protocol (IP) routing is enabled between the networks.

If you previously modified the default configuration settings of the Default SMTP Virtual Server, if you created additional SMTP virtual servers, or if you created an SMTP connector, you must reset your server configuration to use the default settings before you can run the wizard.
