Hello!
I've got a problem with my exchange server again. I've installed the server correctly and all needed services are running. But when I try to set up an outlook client using the mail setup of the control panel and I enter the server and mailbox name I get an error message saying that the comuter was unable to find the server even though I can access the server with the network.

Have you got any ideas how I can solve this problem?

Thanks a lot for your help!
 
Hi
You could be experiencing a DNS problem try ping server name (ping server) and see your server responds, if not try entering the IP address of your server in the hosts and lm hosts file of the client machine (both are in the windows dir)
 
Can you check name against a Global Catalog Server?

Does it work for some mailboxes? If so look at the Recipient Update Service. Dan
