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...

Cannot Connect To Exchange Server
Running XP and Outlook 2003. Out of 35 desktops, two desktops cannot connect to the Exchange Server which were previously connected. I've ruled out the user accounts since I can set them up on different computers and connect without any issues. I cannot connect new users on the machines and deleting the profile didn't work either. I've also installed all updates. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Kansas Maybe best to repost this to the Exchange newsgroup for a more comprehensive answer On the web: http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/lis...

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...

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...

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 ...

Setting of the account automaticly fails or propets for credentials which fails. I have restarted the server and...

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.
