2004 Free/Busy SSL problem

T

Tom Doligalski

I have Entourage 2004 set up with the https address for my exchange
server, and have the "DAV service requires secure connection (SSL)"
checkbox set. I get and send email great. However, I can't see the
free/busy information (and public folders) unless I uncheck the DAV
SSL checkbox (which means, of course, that I can't actually send my
meeting invitations, since I need DAV SSL to get and send email).

Of course, I can replace the https exchange server address with the
name of the exchange server, but than I can't connect to it from
locations offsite.

Suggestions?

Open Script Editor, and paste this in:

-- Start Copying
tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
set DAV requires SSL of Exchange account 1 to true
set message1 to window 1
send message1
set DAV requires SSL of Exchange account 1 to false
end tell
-- Stop Copying

Then, go to File -> Save As, and save it as a compiled script to
~/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Entourage Script Menu Items. I would
recommend naming it something like "Send Mail\mcS"

Then, when you're ready to send a message, press Control-Commmand-S (or
click the Script menu, next to Help, and select "Send Mail"), rather than
the Send button. It should then send properly and then reset your Exchange
account settings to a state that allows you to access free/busy information
and public folders.

I have a (sort of) related problem.

I'm using Exchange Server 2000 to store my mailboxes, calendars, etc.

When my colleague (who's using Outlook 2003 on Windows XP) adds an event to
his calendar, invites me to attend and then checks my free/busy information,
my calendar entries are all visible.

When I (using Entourage 2004 on OS X) try the same operation against his
calendar, I can't see any free/busy status, not even my own.

My advanced settings are pointing to the correct Exchange Server 2000 for
free/busy information and I'm not using SSL.

If I logon to Outlook 2003 on the XP machine, I can see events added to my
calendar either from Entourage or Outlook - they display fine.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Lleyam

Try adding /public or /public/ to the end of the public folders server entry
if you haven't already. That works for some users.
