Dire HELP needed! Second Attempt at ColdFusion Exchange issue.

I am struggling with this terribly. I had posted a question before but alas after I submitted my update I never received further help. Since then I have looked for other strings of code to use but I continue hitting the same wall. I am not too familiar with ColdFusion and this is my first experience using it. I can see the great and rewarding applications one can design. I have always been more of a hardware person than software but my interest in this peaked.

I need HELP. As much of it as any of you can.

I am currently trying to build a ColdFusion page that will retrieve all the Contacts on our Exchange 2007 server. It will be use for a Intranet site we are trying to establish. I am using the "cfexchangeconnection" tags to connect to our server and "cfexchangecontact" tag to retrieve the information.

This is the current code I am using:

<cfexchangeConnection action="open"
username="myUsername"
password="myPassword"
mailboxname="myMailbox"
server="xxx-xxx-xxx.corp.DOMAIN.com" (FQDM)
protocol="https"
connection="test"
formBasedAuthentication="true"
formBasedAuthenticationURL="https://mail.DOMAIN.com/owa/auth/logon.aspx">

<cfexchangecontact action="get" name="Contacts" connection="test"/>

<cfexchangeConnection action="close" connection="test">

This is result:

Cannot access Exchange server as a web application at xxx-xxx-xxx.corp.DOMAIN.com.
Ensure that the Exchange web application is configured in IIS and Web Service Extension for the Exchange server is allowed.

The error occurred in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\DOMAIN.COM\empdir\empdir.cfm: line 17

15 : connection="test"
16 : formBasedAuthentication="true"
17 : formBasedAuthenticationURL="https://mail.DOMAIN.com/owa/auth/logon.aspx">
18 :
19 : <cfexchangecontact action="get" name="Contacts" connection="test"/>

The Exchange web application is properly configured and the Web Service Extension is allowed. The account I am using (myUsername) can access the server through the web portal.

Now, I have also read I can do the same with Active Directory using "CFLDAP", is this true?

In addition to the reading I have done, there has been several sites and articles claiming there is a bug with CF8 and Exchange to the point where they never got it working. Anyone heard anything similar?

Any help is appreciated. This is the second project I am working with this company and both have taken more time they preferred to get them completed. I hope I don't run out of time if not I fear my job security will be non-existent.

Please HELP this techie out.

Thanks
