I get the following error message when i try to setup outlook with an
exchange server account;

"The action could not be completed. The connection to the Microsoft
Exchange Server is unavailable. Outlook must be online or connected
to complete this action."

The server is named "server". I get this problem when I try to "check
name"(or user) in the setup. If I put in "server" as server, and a
username in the username field, It throws me this error within a
nanosecound. If i were to change the servername to "serverXX",

What is SERVERXX? What about server.domain.whatever?

it
takes many secounds before it tells me the same error. For me it
seems like it has some sort of connection to the server, sinse it
gives me the error so fast, but I have no idea why.. I resently
upgraded the exchange to sp2.
I am able to access OWA. I am also able to telnet port 25.

That doesn't mean much for your workstation connectivity, tho.

I have a Small Business Server 2003 with ISA setup on our local
network with 5 client computers.

You might post in microsoft.public.windows.server.sbs for more help.

The Computers are XP running outlook 2003. All computers get the same
error. I have tried several users on each computer.



Is there anyone out there who have had the same problem?



Thanks,
