Someone had PSS (Entourage support) on the phone when I got to the
office so I worked it out with them pretty quickly.  The fix was to
remove and recreate the exchange virtual directory on the mailbox
servers:

 

Remove-OwaVirtualDirectory "exchange (default web site)"

 

New-OwaVirtualDirectory "exchange" -OwaVersion Exchange2003or2000
-VirtualDirectoryType Mailboxes -WebSiteName "Default Web Site"

 

Apparently the exchange VD can become corrupted, but with all our
mailboxes on Exchange 2007, everything else was working except
Entourage.

Any luck using a new profile in Entourage or trying to re-synch the
database in Entourage...forget the exact terminology they use.
Entourage just uses OWA so if that's working it should work, unless you
are running the beta which uses EWS, but even then if you're not seeing
errors it seems to me Entourage just needs a swift kick.  I've seen many
cases where that was necessary.

Subject: Entourage Problems 

I've had an Exchange 2007 environment set up for a couple months now,
and everything was working great - Outlook Anywhere, OWA, ActiveSync,
and one guy (the boss) with a Mac and Entourage.  Yesterday we had a
power outage, and even though one of the CAS/HUB and one of the SCC
mailbox nodes were powered down gracefully, the other two weren't.  

 

Everything came back up ok, DB's were fine, but Outlook Anywhere had
some problems with the certificate, and the Entourage client stopped
syncing.  OWA and ActiveSync continued working fine though.  I removed
and re-imported the UCC certs on the CAS servers and Outlook Anywhere
was happy again, but I still can't get Entourage working.  

 

Does anyone know any good docs on getting Entourage working properly
with Exchange 2007, and the permission required on all the IIS virtual
directories?  All servers are on Windows 2008.

 

Also, does anyone have any tips on troubleshooting in Entourage?  It
isn't giving me any errors, and depending on how the account settings
are, will either say (not connected) or will do nothing at all.  I have
no idea what its having trouble with.

 

Thanks,
