I've used MSDAIPP.DSO successfully on the Windows 2003 box before. Some
things to keep in mind is that under the covers MSDAIPP.DSO is translating
all your calls into WebDAV.

MSDAIPP.DSO wont work locally on a Exchange 2003 server and it also wont
work if your using Forms Based Authentication on your Exchange server.

Some silly things can cause it to fail for instance having Internet Explorer
set to work offline will cause it to fail. The other thing that may cause an
issue on 2003 is the "Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration"
which gets installed and enabled by default. Or if your using Https and for
some reason its popping up a SSL certificate warning at you MSDAIPP.DSO wont
know what to do. Try just accessing the Exchange server normally using the
browser on that server and see what happens.

Cheers
Glen
