Hi,
I've successfully installed EX2010 on my Windows 2008 server, and locally everything seems to be working great. I can run Outlook 2007 directly on the server and it will open mailboxes fine.
However from a client computer over the network (XP SP3), running Outlook 2003 or Outlook 2007, I get the error saying the Exchange server is unavailable.
At first I thought it was the Outlook 2003 client since I didn't allow exchange setup to create a public folder database, so I tried upgrading to Outlook 2007, but the same thing happened.
I've tried switching on encryption in my MAPI profile, and ... hang on just thought of something...
ok, I found that the MAPI profile which already existed for Outlook 2003 needed to be blown away and re-created after Outlook 2007 was installed. Its now all working. So I'm guessing the 2003 issue was the lack of a public folder database as I first suspected?
