Jeremy, Thank you.
I don�t what I�m doing wrong then. I can connect to the server over the LAN and the web, but no folders. I don�t have any where near 50 MB of stuff on the server. I move it all locally. I have outlook running. Will that make a difference having to apps accessing the same ex. Server. I could see the folders with the last version of entourage. The wizard doesn�t help either. Any ideas please? Thanks, David.

Or am I doing something else wrong? LDAP, to my knowledge, is useful in Entourage 2004 for the following tasks: * "Check Names" and Tools > Directory Services lookups * Initial setup of delegate access, for each principal whose account you are viewing Because it's used for "Check Names" and you'll probably be using that a lot, yeah, I'd consider it essential. However, it should not be required for viewing the rest of your Exchange mailbox/account -- inbox, subfolders, calendar, address book, etc. Some/many organizations may choose to block LDAP access to their Exchange servers, possibly considering it a security risk. So you may have problems using it. Technically, it is using LDAP lookups against a Global Catalog server, to simulate but not exactly mimic a Global Address List lookup. If you are not seeing your inbox or other folders, you've got something else wrong. Does the setup wizard find information while you're trying to set up the Exchange account initially? If so, that's a good start, but may not be entirely appropriate for the Exchange servers used in your environment. (For example, at my university, that setup wizard finds servers that will work, but they are not preferred -- we have load-balanced host names that we want people to use, rather than pointing directly to single servers.) The setup wizard working is half the battle. If it doesn't, LDAP lookups to the GC probably won't work for you, either. The next hurdle is taking those settings and letting Entourage sync for a while -- for a large account (50 MB or greater in quota used), it can take anywhere from an hour to a day to sync your data, in my experience. Be patient, and realize that the inbox, calendar, and address generally sync before any other subfolders. -- Jeremy Reichman Information and Technology Services Rochester Institute of Technology -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/> -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
