Hi Stuart!

My comments are inline with yours.

You're correct. Entourage 2008 assumes you will be using your domain account
name and password.

You're perfectly sane and, yes, you can do this another way.

First, just leave this field blank in your Exchange account in Entourage.

Second, go to Tools --> Accounts... and click on the Directory Service tab.
You can set up a different LDAP account there.

The only downside that I can foresee is that I don't believe this setup will
have the same ability as the LDAP setup in an Exchange account for browsing
the GAL. (You can still search, of course.) I could be wrong about this
because I've never had to have a separate LDAP account with an Exchange
account.

Don't hold your breath. In fact, better exhale now.

The MAPI protocol was de-emphasized in Exchange Server 2007 along with the
WebDAV protocol used by Entourage. That means that both protocols are slated
to go away (possibly in the next version of Exchange Server after 2007,
maybe a later version). Development of these two protocols effectively
ceased with Exchange Server 2007.

Microsoft is encouraging all future development to be done against the new
Web Services protocol instead.

Hope this helps!
