Exchange Server Configuration

[¿ìâǥ]

Our firm uses Exchange Server 2003 (OWA included). We all connect to the
Server using Office 2003 running Windows XP. For various reasons, the server
is always connected via what Microsoft calls "RPC over HTTP" configuration.
So far we are happy with what we run...

Until now, that is.
I have a Macintosh and Entourage 2004 (running Mac OS 10.4.6), and I am
running into account setting problem.

1. Exchange Server cannot be seen unless I use
"http://mail.example.com/myname" name on Account Setup window. (replace
example.com with my Exchange Server name, and myname with my own account
name) With the above set up, I have no problem editing/entering contact
information and calendar.

2. Can't look up the company's directory. It cannot find LDAP directory.
However, at this moment, I don't know whether our server has LDAP service,
so I am checking with IT manager in our server farm about it.

3. Can't send e-mail AT ALL. I receive error "-18597". It tells me my mail
account is configured incorrectly.

4. Funny thing is... I have no problem accessing and sending e-mail from
Apple Mail, configured with Exchange Server. It still doesn't see the
company's directory, but it has no problem sending mails.

Our IT manager is a complete I***t when it comes to Macintosh, so he cannot
be reliable on this. Please help.

I've double posted the topic, with a name of "Exchange Server Setup".
Please use that thread instead.

Find a PC that¡¯s connected to the Exchange server.
Launch Outlook and when it¡¯s open, CONTROL_CLICK on the icon in they System
Tray ¡© lower-right corner.
Select ¡°Connection Properties¡± and you can see the LDAP and Email server
names.
Use those instead of the HTTP address in the server name field of your
account on the Mac.
