Hi, for some reason outlooks cannot connect to the exchange server. We have a blackberry set up to have emails sent to a users mailbox to be forwarded to his blackberry and that is working. But outlook on the client machines cant connect

You need to provide more information.
Version of Exchange.
Any load balancer?
What has changed recently?
Are all services running?

Emails being forwarded to an external device doesn't really prove a great deal, particularly with regards to client access.

However there is simply not enough information.

We rebooted after the issue occurred after stopping and starting services with still no success , but that did not resolve it either
Any errors in the event viewer?
Does OWA work?

We can get to the login screen for the owa but get error

HTTP/1.1 503 Service Unavailable

I also noticed when i looked at the server config (email ) and it said HTTP said not connected

The clients can connect to the server an see shared folders etc and internet is fine

There is plenty of free space on drives
Is the database mounted? You could have gone over the 75gb limit which would dismount the database.

It had and I remounted it but still that did not fix it either
Not really much more I can suggest.
If the database had dismounted that would stop the clients from connecting, and therefore remounting should bring them back online - if the database is staying mounted of course.
