Entourage 2008 with EWS and Autodiscover/LDAP

[Syed_Ahmad]

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: Intel
Email Client: Exchange

Hello everyone! I have an issue that might be more of an Exchange Server 2007 issue than Entourage 2008 with EWS, but I thought I'd ask here anyways. I am in the process of configuring the Autodiscover feature in Exchange Server 2007 and in my tests with Outlook 2007, I was able to connect just fine to the Exchange server. When testing with Entourage 2008 with EWS, I am running into an issue.

I can connect to the server, receive/send email, sync tasks and calendars as expected/advertised. The issues is, I can't connect to the server's LDAP. Now, when the autodiscover kicks in, it finds the LDAP server as the SERVERNAME.domain.local instead of a FQDN. Is this supposed to be the case? If it is, I can't communicate with the LDAP at all. Anyone know what I may be doing wrong here?

In case you're wondering, Entourage's Exchange setup files the Exchange server correctly, as <https://remote.theclientsdomain.com/EWS/Exchange.asmx>.

Thanks.

How is your LDAP server's DNS record configured? Does it have the proper
reverse pointer record as well?
