How to Find the DomainName\Username Setting

Some mail applications on Android mobile devices may require an additional 'Domain\Username' setting. Follow these steps to satisfy that requirement:

  1. Go to Mail Central.
  2. Select your Exchange mailbox.
  3. Select Exchange Setup.
  4. Look under Your Exchange Server Information and use the following formula to find out what to put in for your 'domain\username' setting:
    Microsoft Exchange Server
    • Same as the Microsoft Exchange Server, but without the first portion (exchange2013.sh11.lan)
    • A backslash '\'
    • First (up to 10) letters of the domain used by the email address (info@your-domain.com)
    • A period '.'
    • First (up to 9) letters of the email address before the '@' symbol (info@your-domain.com)


Important: If your domain has less than 10 letters (such as 'example.com'), only include the portion that comes before the top-level domains (TLDs) (such as 'example.com').
