I saw this on RailheadDesign.com: > Wednesday, July 21, 2004 � 6:35am CST > > Exchange 2003 And Entourage 2004 > As I stated yesterday, I finally got Entourage 2004 to work with our Exchange > server � Exchange Server 2003 on Server 2003 to be specific. For background�s > sake, I�ve always had problems getting Entourage to work with Exchange � and > the volume of email I�ve personally received expressing the same frustration > as well as the amount of posts in forums all over internet, make it clear that > I�m not the only person experiencing setup issues. > > What issues? In a nutshell, using Entourage�s setup wizard just flat-out > didn�t work. It was never able to resolve the Exchange server�s name or IP, > even though I could ping it just fine. It was never able to contact the LDAP > server or the free/busy server, it was never able to do anything but tick me > off. In Entourage vX I was able to connect to our Exchange server using an > IMAP account, but Entourage 2004 put an end to that jury-rigging, too. > > So, what did I do? When I setup our new server I made sure it was running > Outlook Web Access, which can be verified by entering your server�s IP/domain > name followed by �/exchange� in your web browser like so: > mydomain.local/exchange or 10.0.0.1/exchange.

In the screen shots below you can see that > I had to use �https://10.0.0.1/exchange/� for the server address, the LDAP > address and the free/busy server address. Note that I used https:// rather > than http://, too. Once I did this, my Entourage synced perfectly. > > One thing I remember as I�m typing this, is that I had to disable a specific > setting on our server, which is enabled by default in Server 2003, that was > preventing my Mac from seeing the network drives. If you go to �Start� > > �Administrative Tools� > �Domain Controller Policy� > "Security Settings� > > �Local Policies� > �Security Options� > �Microsoft network server: Digitally > sign communications (always),� you�ll it is enabled. Disabling this policy > will allow your Mac to see your Server 2003 shares, and that may allow > Entourage 2004 to resolve the domain controller and Exchange server name so > that you don�t have to use IP addresses. I�ll check this out at the office and > report back on it tomorrow. > > Hope this helps some of you!
