SBS 2008, Exchange 2007 & Outlook 2007...

Actually, what I said is that the connectivity test will tst *every*
possible way that outlook can "autodiscover" its settings. Sicne half of
those optiosn won't actually be enabled, failures are to be expected.

The second half of that was that you need to know which option you expect to
work and concentrate on those failures. Looking at error codes for methods
we expect to fail will be a waste of effort.

So, if you are stuck, post the complete log (edit out sensitive parts of
need be) so we can see and decipher what is an "expected" error and what
isn't.

I did change the name to msstd:remote.domain.com on the client & it
worked, but it prompts you for a password everytime you open outlook.
The 'Always prompt for log on credentials' is NOT checked - is there a
way to 'fix' this?
Now, if I apply SP2 this weekend, can if mess up anything we've done
so far?

Try this:
Get-OutlookAnywhere|fl *authen*

What do you see for authentication methods?

Have a look at "Authentication and Access Controls" on the "Rpc"
virtual directory with IIS Admin.

The authentication settings in both of those should match. What you
DON'T want to do is use the GUI in the EMC to manage the
authentication settings foe OA.

well.
Thanks, again.
