Exchange Server - Upgrading Outlook 2003 to Outlook 2007 Fails.

Hi.

Has anyone run into trouble upgrading Outlook 2003 to Outlook 2007 in
their environment.

When I deployed Exchange 2007, I basically had to use the Outlook 2003
client as installing or "Upgrading" Outlook 2003 to Outlook 2007
failed to work most of the time.

The main issue I ran into was when Office 2003 was installed.
Upgrading the outlook portion to Outlook 2007 was horrible. The
Outlook 2007 installer would make it part way then "flat line" i.e
freeze the computer.

It appears that Uninstalling Outlook 2003 first, then installing
Outlook 2007 works without issue.

Anyone experience similar ?

Thanks JJ

Exchange 2007 & Outlook 2007 autodiscover service Exchange Server Hi, I believe I have a pretty good handle on web services (availability service, OOF, OAB and Unifed Messaging service) and they all work fine. Outlook Anywhere even works correctly (as configured by the autodiscover service). These services are all published of each of the Exchange web services. If I choose the "test autoconfiguration" option in Outlook 2007 I can see that these are all set correctly. My issue is that my these services to the internet using basic authentication. What I do not understand is why Outlook 2007 is ever trying to access the external versions of the various Exchange web service the internal autodiscover service. No credential prompt happens at this stage. Surely the fact that Outlook has successfully found the SCP entry in Active Directory should tell it that it is currently for each of the Exchange web services? However, once Outlook receives the URLs from the autodiscover service it now tries to access the external versions which of course require a credential prompt! Why does Outlook want to access the external versions of the URLs? If Outlook chose only to use the internal versions then everything would work correctly. My question is

SBS 2008, Exchange 2007 & Outlook 2007. . . Exchange Server Sorry for the cross-posting, but I am hoping someone out there the major problems is users at a remote office cannot get their email now using Outlook 2007. It worked fine with Exchange 2003, but not Exchange 2007 - why? I have been any other kind of smart phones have no problems, either. When users try to open Outlook, they are prompted for a username & password. I entered domain \ username & then was prompted, twice what do I need to get this to work?!?!?

Are they using Outlook Anywhere? If they put your autodiscover URL into a browser do they get the expected yes, that is the response they get. As far as the test exchange site, the outlook anywhere failed, autodiscover passed, pretty much like the messages included in my original post. [ snip using a SAN certificate? Is the CN of the certificate the same one that your Outlook clients are trying to connect to? Do you fill in both edit boxes in Outlook's "Exchange proxy settings"? Are they both referencing the same server name? - -- Rich Matheisen MCSE

WHy doesn't Outlook Live sync the calendar like it does in our own Exchange server Exchange Server Good afternoon, We are currently migrating our users from our onsite EX2007 server to hosted Exchange (Outlook Live / Live@Edu). One thing that is different with Exchange Live over Outlook 2007 is that calendars are not synced immediately like they are in the EX2007 server synced with the server immediately. It usually happens when the next time comes around for Outlook to sync with the server, which I think happens every 10 minutes or so. But if you log on to the Outlook Live website and use Outlook Web App to change the calendar, it syncs the changes immediately. This is a fairly big deal in a group environment where people are sharing calendars and they want to be able to see changes straight people working on the same calendar they will not get the same version as what Outlook has locally on the computer until it syncs back with the server. There are commercial
