According to my IT guys we do not have an LDAP server.

So I have no contact information????????????

Why oh why did Microsoft not do a MAPI compliant client?????????

If you're running W2K domain controllers and Exchange Server they use
LDAP!!!!

If you want contact information (GAL I assume?) then installing Office
Update 10.1.4 and setting u an Exchange account in Entourage is the easy
option.

Tried the easy setup. FAILED........

I have manually got it to send and receive email, but no calendars or
directory and IT are adamant we do not have LDAP and will not have until
possibly next year sometime????

Ask them if they have a domain controller, It would be a server. Ask
them for the address of that server and put that in the LDAP server
field.

You can't have active directory (AD) and not have a domain server. It
will be different from the exchange server although I guess it could be
the same box.

Now, LDAP is on by default on an Windows 2000 AD server but they
could turn it off. If they did you are screwed. But, if microsoft stick to
its plans then at some point you Admin will have no choice but to turn
it on.

What going one here? Well MS is using the Exchange Entourage update
to try to push it AD plans, thus no MAPI support . In doing so they have
made. The problem is most admins. like the old exchange way of doing
things and our not hot to support it.

I am told we are NT based with a LIMITED LDAP capability???????????

Sounds like I am stuck, no calendars and no address book, its back to
Outlook 2001 which is a HUGE disappointment.
