Problem with GAL

C

cjnolan

I have just installed SP2 and am excited about the new features in
Entourage...

I can send and receive mail fine
I can sync my Treo fine to the Exchange contacts/calendar
I'm new to Macs and Macs are not officially supported in our company

2 things are NOT working, and I'm looking for pointers

I believe our organization is deployed on Exchange 2000, not sure of
Windows version (2000 or 2003 server)

--I can't get to the global address book or the LDAP. What would the
server name be? Our exchange server is exchange.xxxx.xxxx.xxxx

--I can't see people's schedules on meeting invites

Any pointers?

GAL / LDAP are largely the same in SP2. If you know the fully qualified name
of the domain to which the Exchange server is attached or the domain to
which your user account is attached, you can use that as the Directory
Services name in the Advanced tab of your Exchange account.

For example, I'm a member of the REDMOND domain at work, which,
fully-qualified, is redmond.corp.microsoft.com. My exchange server is
red-msg-##.redmond.corp.microsoft.com. I can use the former as my Directory
Services account and get GAL access.

I believe this is supported using invisible public folders, so you need to
have a public folder server assigned into your Exchange account (also under
the Advanced tab). I am not sure how to come up with that information
without going through the Account wizard or asking your administrator.
Any pointers?

Hope that helps!

This is helpful and I appreciate the prompt response. I'll give our
exchange group a call and see if they're willing to give up some of
this info =)

Thanks!
