Your network contains a server that has Microsoft SharePoint Foundation 2010 installed.
You need to configure the incoming e-mail settings to use the Automatic settings mode.
What should you do first?
A. Configure the outgoing e-mail settings.
B. Configure the Message Queuing feature.
C. Install the SMTP Server feature.
D. Install the Message Queuing Triggers feature.
Correct Answer: C
Explanation/Reference:
When incoming e-mail is enabled, SharePoint sites can receive and store e-mail messages and attachments in lists and libraries. This article describes two scenarios, one basic and one advanced. The basic scenario applies to a single-server farm environment and is recommended if you want to use default settings, whereas the advanced scenario applies to a single-server farm or a multiple-server farm and contains several advanced options from which to choose.
Install and configure the SMTP service
Incoming e-mail for SharePoint Foundation 2010 uses the SMTP service. You can use the SMTP service in one of two ways. You can install the SMTP service on one or more servers in the farm, or administrators can provide an e-mail drop folder for e-mail that is forwarded from the service on another server.
Install the SMTP service
If you are not using a drop folder for e-mail, the SMTP service must be installed on every front-end Web server in the farm that you want to configure for incoming e-mail. To install the SMTP service, use the Add Features Wizard in Server Manager. After the procedure is complete, a default SMTP configuration has been created. You can customize this default SMTP configuration to meet the requirements of your environment.
To install the SMTP service
1. Verify that you have the following administrative credentials:
- You must be a member of the Administrators group on the local computer.
2. Click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Server Manager.
3. In Server Manager, click Features.
4. In Features Summary, click Add Features to open the Add Features Wizard.
5. On the Select Features page, select SMTP Server.
6. In the Add Features Wizard dialog box, click Add Required Features, and then click Next.
7. On the Confirm Installation Selections page, click Install.
8. On the Installation Results page, ensure that the installation finished successfully, and then click Close.
