'Could not open that feature' error

K

Ken Davis

I could really use some help. I have recently switched over to OS X Server
10.3, and all my workstations to Panther as well. I tell this because I believe
it has bearing. I also set up a directory domain which handles authentication
for the workstations, and the server maintains the home directories as well.

If I log into locally to a machine and create an account, the account works
fine. However, if I log into an account that resides on the server and create a
new Exchange account in Entourage 2004, all seems okay until I close the
software and reopen it. As soon as I do I get the message 'Could not open
that feature,' and Entourage quits. Repeated attempts generally give the
same error, and occasionally I get a bad database error, which a rebuild has
no affect on.

I thought it was an authentication error at first, but I do not believe it is even
getting that far. Now I think perhaps a permissions problem with where the
files are, or that Entourage is having problems locating the folder where the
database resides. However, I do have one account that is set up this way
that is working. The first 2 times I set it up, it had the problem described
above, but the third time the machine seized, and after I rebooted it worked
fine. The setups are identical between the two accounts.

I could go on and on, but I will stop here. Does anyone know of a known
issue with doing things this way or have any ideas?

Thanks.

I am also having basically the same issue...local account with Entourage
works fine, I log out and log into my network account which resides on OS X
Server and I get "error unknown feature (16008)". I also have fussed with
permissions and rebuilt the database, etc. The version I am using is Office
2004 standard, all the other office apps work with no problems using the
network account.

Anyone know what this error is related too? Any help very appreciated!

Thanks,
