Outlook cannot connect to Exchange
Hello I am trying to add an account on Outlook for Exchange Server. In the process of adding the user, it asks for server name and user name. I put the server and put the user name and clicked on "Check Name" next to it, it is displaying the message "The name could not be resolved. The name could not be matched to a name in the address list" The user is an active directory user but that name is not found on Global Address List. It is happening just for this user, everyone else is fine. I do not know if this can be done. Can we back up the mail box of that particular user...

Suddenly Outlook Clients Cannot Connect To Exchange
Around 2:30 we start getting reports from users saying Outlook is telling them the Exchange server cannot be contacted. The affected users are dispersed and have no commonalities. Different OU’s, GP’s, subnets, even one of the admins was affected. By the end it looked like everyone but a handful of people were affected, but it’s hard to say as most had gone home. My computer always worked, I could log off and log back in and had no problems. If I went to another computer it wouldn’t work. Some users we tested with would log off, log back in and it would stop working. We restarted everything ...

Running XP and Outlook 2003. Out of 35 desktops, two desktops cannot connect to the Exchange Server which were previously connected.

I've also installed all updates. Any help would be appreciated.

Outlook 2003 Cannot Connect to Exchange
Hi everybody, I have a problem with my Outlook. It was running just fine this morning and then I had to install some VPN client software called Aventail. It's web-based and made some modifications to my security certificates. Following that, I haven't been able to connect to the Exchange Server to pick up my mail from Outlook (luckily, the web interface still works for me). Does anyone know how to fix this? Or am I going to be uninstalling Aventail and crossing my fingers? Can you ping the server and resolve its FQDN? -- Robert Sparnaaij [MVP-Outlook] www.howto-outlook...

Cannot connect to Exchange Server using Earthlink dial-up
Our remote sales reps all use Earthlink dial-up software to connect to the Internet, and then open up Outlook to connect to our Exchange 5.5 server to check/send/receive e-mail. They use Outlook 2000, and have offline folders set up. All has worked well until this morning. Now, they all get the message, "Network problems are preventing connection to the Microsoft Exchange Server computer. Contact your system administrator if this condition exists." The first thing that I thought of was that Earthlink has all of a sudden started blocking access to the ports that Exchange requires....

Outlook cannot connect to Exchange Server
I'm having an issue with two PCs (both with Outlook 2003 and with both Windows XP SP2 RC1). This issue has been going on before XP SP2 RC1 and Outlook 2003 but I hoped by upgrading to newer versions it would resolve my issue but obviously no luck. The issue I am having is that I cannot access my Exchange server from the local intranet through Outlook. I can ping the server, I can get on via OWA but I cannot get on through Outlook itself. When I set up the profile and go to validate / "CHECK NAME" I see no activity lights over the LAN and it comes back 45 seconds lat...

Cannot connect to Exchange server from Outlook client on Windows 2003 Server
This is sort of a repost as I have yet to find an answer to this issue. Search the KB's, googled to error message and have been led in the right direction but still no resolution. Here's my problem. When using using Outlook from a Windows 2003 Server desktop, an RDP or ICA connection I cannot use the Outlook client. I have remote users who connect using Citrix. They logon to the Citrix server desktop (Windows 2003 Server) and use Outlook from there. They can also use Outlook from within Citrix as it is a Published Application. I know some of you are going to suggest why don'...

Multiple Logon Sessions
Hi, one of our users is consistently unable to connect to the exchange server on our Network (Exchange 2003). In the status bar on the bottom right, the message is "disocnnected." Trying to reconnect does not work. He is using Outlook 2003. What seems to be happening is that there are too many logon sessions open at the same time, and thus he is not able to connect. When we restart the Information Store service on the Exchange Server, he is able to connect again. Sometimes this stays for a while, but today all sessions came back within a matter of an hour. Does anyone know wha...

Outlook 2007 gets "Cannot connect to exchange" server down message but 2003 is fine
We just migrated from Exchange 2003 to 2007. Both the 03 and the new 07 server are still running side by side while public folder replication occurs.

All users except 2 had no problems on first log in. 2 users though simply cannot connect to exchange. All I get is a generic "unable to connect to exchange" error message when opening outlook. Setting of the account automaticly fails or propets for credentials which fails. I have restarted the server and...
