help with exchange

[waterskier2007]

so i am trying to set up exchange. and i understand what to put for my email address, and the description, but what does it mean when it says Domain/User. i would think i just need my username, but i dont know what domain means. once i put anything there and hit next then the server thing comes up and i know what to put there. does anyone know what domain might mean

here is a screenshot

Umm, does your work have an Exchange server that you are trying to connect to? That is the user account and password you'll need; the domain refers to the Windows Network domain name used in active directory internal to your company's network. You'll need to get that info from your admin.

Right click on My Computer (assuming you're sitting at a computer setup on your company network) and go to properties. Click the Computer Name tab. Here's an example. In this example, your domain\username would be macrumors\waterskier (where domain is the part before ".local" in the example, and waterskier would be your network login name):
