Title: Message
My experience was the same as Jons. I have one Mac G4 that gets configured via DHCP, all I added was the Exchange Server name, the mailbox name and the user info. I have had fewer problems with the Mac than my Wintel machines.

I regularly connect to the campus Exchange server from home using my personal iMac. It is running OS X and Outlook 2001 (running in Classic mode). When I set this up for the very first time, I just installed Outlook 2001 and told it my mailbox name. It simply worked like it was supposed to work. I've also used Outlook 2001 on the iMac here in the office that is running Mac OS 9. It too connected just like you'd expect it to - on the first try.

Keith -
 
Thanks - sorry if I sounded frustrated - two very vocal users and I guess ignorance breeds contempt as far as MACs go for me. 
 
Using Outlook 2001 - when I resolve the name I start with IP and Alias and resolve to Computer Name and User name.
 
Static IP address even on the same subnet plugged into the same switch as the exchange server.
 
Not sure about the domain in the Additional Search Domains will check that first thing in the morning.  Already have the ticket open with PSS - boss didn't care - we will just get in the queue in the morning if this doesn't resolve it.
 
Thanks for the advice!

Jim,
Did you get your problem resolved?
If not are you using Outlook 2001 or Outlook 8.x.
If your using the old version try Outlook 2001 from http://www.microsoft.com/mac/
Also are you resolving the names using DNS. If so how are the macs getting their IP address, DHCP or static?
On the Mac in the TCP/IP control panel do you have your domain name in the Additional Search domains. If not it might help having it there.
 
I hope this info helps. I started off as a mac person and still consider them real computers. However I don't think they are real network clients just like win9x isn't a real network client.

Didn't want to stay on hold but they have an entire MAC/Exchange group!  I was way surprised.

thanks - no dashes and using Outlook not the MAC client and the names do resolve - just can't open.
 
I am calling PSS - see if they have any ideas.

Hello -
 
Does anyone know of any whitepapers or troubleshooting guides to help me resolve connectivity issues with MAC's to my exchange server?
 
We are running Exchange 5.5 sp5 on NT4 SP6a.  The MACS are running OS9.1 and Outlook for Mac and have a host file that points to the correct server.  They are able to ping the server I can resolve their name and the server name using IP/Alias, but they cannot open their information store.  They get Exchange Server offline error.  I can open their store from any real computer (notice I am NOT a MAC fan) using their credentials and can use OWA from the MACs.
 
Any ideas?
