entourage 2004 and small business server 2003 - what's webdav???

B

Benjo

We've recently upgraded our server software to sbs 2003, from server
2000 and exchange 5.5

So I thought that now exchange is compatible with entourage 2004, I
would get rid of the old macs still running outlook in classic mode,
and use entourage x and entourage 2004 instead.

But I've come across a problem...

I can connect to our e-mail fine using entourage x, but can't get it
using entourage 2004.
It's not a problem with the mail box as I've tried it in entourage x
and it works fine.

I've heard entourage 2004 needs webdav and LDAP enabled on the server
but I have absolutely no idea where to do this in small business server.

In entourage 2004 I've tried setting the account up as IMAP as well,
and it still doesn't work.
I just get an error saying 'Mail could not be received at this time'...
and would I like to re-enter the password.

When I try and make a new exchange account in entourage 2004 I get a
similar error.

I've managed to get it working no problems with entourage x, and the
exchange update.

The Macs are not bound to our active directory or anything.

For the exchange account settings I've been a bit confused about which
info I need to enter in the account properties.
Our e-mail addresses are all [email protected], our usernames are
all firstnamelastname.
For both the domain and the exchange server options, I've tried the
windows domain, domain.com which is set up on our server, I've tried
the IP address of our exchange server, 192.168.1.4, and the webmail
address - (both http and https) http://192.168.1.4/exchange and
http://mail.domain.com/exchange and the auto configuration thing
doesn't find the server or anything.

The password is correct and the mailbox is enabled for OWA because i
can login using web access.


I also get errors saying the correct root certificates are not
installed - or something like that - and I have no idea how to install
a certificate to connect to small business server.

My problems might be that I don't have DAV enabled or LDAP but I have
know idea how to do this.
Why does IMAP work in entourage x but not in entourage 2004 - I'm
pretty happy to use IMAP just to get this damn thing working.

Anyone experienced this?
This is getting pretty frustrating!!

Thanks

Benjo

For the IMAP account, be sure to use the form domain\accountID for your
account id.

For the Exchange account, the easiest place to start is in OWA. If you can
verify OWA is working, Entourage should work as well. Your Entourage server
entry should look similar to the URL working for OWA in your browser. For
example, if you have

http://owa.company.com/exchange/you/inbox/... in your browser,

Use owa.company.com/exchange in Entourage

If your OWA URL starts with "https:" make sure that SSL is enabled on the
advanced tab of your Exchange account.

Thanks,
Richard
