What would be the best way to redesign my Exchange installation to support
multiple domains? I currently simply create OU's in AD, mail enabling a
group and tie that group to a recipient policy.

I'm running into naming issues - I can't have a 'webmaster' for each domain
name (an Active Directory limitation I assume).

I assume I would need either create subdomains or have a separate server for
each domain. As I only host 4 other sites right now that would be no biggie
but I could potentially host close to 100 sites.

Any ideas or a good direction to start?

Thanks,
Tom

Hi,

Sure you can have multiple webmaster e-mail accounts - just name the logon
name different for each account.

I was aware that I could use unique names within AD. My question was how do
I setup Exchange so I don't have to.

Hi,

You can't setup exchange so that your AD names don't have to be unique. This
is strictly an AD issue as exchange gets all user information from AD.

Only way would be to have different AD's for each exchange environment.

Try this
Create a user Webmaster-Domainname in AD.
Add an alias email address webmaster@uniqueDomain.com.
