Of course, the last thing I expected (perhaps rather naively) was that it wouldn't work the same as 2000!! So I set up my VPN connection which I've done a million times for everyone at work, to connect to Exchange 2000 at work and of course, it doesn't work!! I've been posting here and no-one had solutions but knew
of the problem. MS have been so unhelpful it's even surprising for them!! They refuse to send me lic to be able to downgrade to 2000 and of course, it's been opened so their suggestion of returning to the seller is ridiculous. They offerd I could spend a few hundred more dollars to speak with a technical expert there or spend yet more money and purchase 2000 from somewhere!!

You need to have your Network settings on the VPN client point to the
INTERNAL LAN DNS SERVER in the COMPANY NETWORK.

If that fails, enter the server name and the servers FQDN in a host file
and enter the INTERNAL IP address on the company network. Make sure that
you resolve using the HOST file first if you use it.

This is a DNS issue, I promise.
