The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Mac OS X Panther/Entourage configured for EXchange Server 2003 -  ldap server not found

Asked by ccadsales in Apple Networking, Appletalk

Tags: exchange, server, mac, 2003, entourage

I need to connect 6 Mac OS X panther workstaitons to my Microsoft 2003 Exchange server.   The local domain is ceilink.local
Windows DCdiags and Netdiags  pass.   I have configured IMAP, HTTP and SMTP virtual servers on the Exchange Server.
I can attach to my exchange server from the MAC stations using OWA. Active directory lookup work from the web interface.
I receive an LDAP server error when the MAC's are configured for Entourage 2001 or Entourage 2004.
Entourage 2004 states it can not find the exchange server.  

I have run nslookup on the MACs    It resolves the server address of 10.0.0.10 to fs.ceilink.local properly.
I can not resolve fs

To connect to the Exchange server from the MAC's via OWA I must use the format  10.0.0.10\exchange    \\fs.domainname.local\exhcange  will not resolve.

I have attempted to configure the manually configure the active directory entries
defining the LDAP server as  10.0.0.10   and fs.ceilink.local

I have added   ou=CIE,dc=fs,dc=com  
   and combinations thereof

none of these parameters have resolved the problem.

The MAC all have two ethernet cards,  one NIC recieves it's IP via DHCP from the Microsoft 2003 DHCP server, the other NIC is configured for appletalk. There is also another complicating issue.  In-house email is via Exchange services, Internet email is via POP3 hosted by the ISP hosting their web site.   The 2003 Exchange DNS server is Active Directory integrated.

Do MACs have a "hosts" file I can edit, it appears to me to be a DNS resolution issue on the MAC stations.
Do I have to configure a "standard DNS server" ?


These station were operational with Entourage 2001 with an Exchange 5.5 server.   Exchange 2003 server was installed last week.   All Outlook funtions are opeational on the Windows side.

TIA for any insights into this problem you can provide.  

Since I have called Mircosoft's Paid Technical support line and they were not able to provide immediate support, stating it would take 24 to 48 hours to find an expert, I would rate this as a 500 point problem.
