AHA! "Also, don't forget the fictitious mac file system on the new exchange server as this will be necessary."
I had a feeling that there was something that I needed to do to the new exchange server in order for the MACs to connect (it only makes sense) but found ZERO documentation on it. I will try to search on "ficticious mac file system".

What we have to do is go into the outlook properties and remove the old exchange server reference, then recreate it pointing it to the new server. The mac outlook client is somewhat "dumb" and will keep looking for the old exchange server. I am assuming this is what happened to you as we go through this every time we move mac mailboxes.

If so, can you point me to some resources? I have 5 macs on my mixed 2000/NT network. After moving the mailbox for one MAC user, her Outlook 2001 client could not locate the new exchange 5.5 server. We updated her host files since she is in a remote location and that has sometimes been necessary but that did not work. Everyone on a PC at that same remote location was able to see the new exchange server once we updated their host files. So the problem seems to be with the MAC, and her DNS settings were correct. I decided to try and troubleshoot the problem on a MAC locally, and on this MAC I cannot see either of the exchange servers. Again, DNS settings check out, hosts files updated. I am sure this problem has to do with a lack of my understanding of networking MACs into a PC network, I have thus far succeeded at creating apple talk shares for file sharing and that is pretty much it. I certainly wouldn't expect anyone to try and teach me the ways of mac/pc networking, but if anyone can point me in the direction of resources that were helpful to them, while administering exchange server and supporting mac clients, that would be great! Thank you.
