Users can't access their calendar / contacts in Entourage X since upgrade From Exchange 2k to 2k3

[Lars Kappenberg]

Hi!

We have been using SBS 2k in a mixed environment with several Entourage X
(10.1.6) clients and some windows boxes. Since the upgrade to SBS 2k3 Mac
users are reporting that they can't no longer access their calendar
free/busy informations and contacs in Entourage X. Email works fine.

Problem 1 (calendar and contacts):
The clients do not get an error message when trying to access their
calendar/contacts.

But I found HTTP 401 errors our web servers log, each time a user starts a
synchronisationtries (calendar or contacts are included in sync):
2005-06-17 07:47:18 192.168.1.10 PROPFIND /exchange/lars/ 443 - 192.168.1.15
Entourage/10.0+(Mac_PowerPC;+DigExt;+TmstmpExt) - 401 2148074254 276 540

I checked our setup against a posting from Crina Li from MSFT:

15. Click the Advanced tab.
16. In the Public folder server field, enter https://IP Address/public.
17. Select the "Synchronize all items to server" radio button.
18. Enable the "DAV service requires secure connection" checkbox.
19. Click OK.

for 16 I entered "https://192.168.1.10/public". I even tried a trailing /.
But it has been the ip only before. We do not use public folders.

Problem 2 (LDAP):
Even our users are currently not using LDAP, I configured it. (But I left
out the search base field, because I have no clue what to enter here.)

11. In the LDAP server field, enter the IP address of the server.
12. Click the "Click here for advanced options" button.
13. Enable the "This server requires me to log on" checkbox.
14. Enable the "Override default LDAP port" checkbox and enter 3268 in the
field.

for 13: Only the option "LDAP-Server requires a secure connection" is
provided.

Using LDAP after this configuration results in Error -3280 connection error
on the client.

Our macs are in the SBS environment, but since we use a .local domain
(thanks MS for providing this default for SBS 2k installations), they are
not managed by the domain. Users have to change their passwords twice.
But other things like OWA over SSL (Browser), OMA, SMB etc. are working
fine.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Lars
