Interesting problem. This really sounds like a network issue. Outlook talks to Exchange natively using RPCs, and it sounds like that's not working correctly.

I know have it connected to the active directory. I created a testaccount on the server. Login with imap works Login with http works Login using outlook 2003 configured for exchange fails. Login using outlook 2000 configured for exchange fails. When i configure outlook (2000 and 2003) for usage with exchange i fill out the required fields and click "check name" after that the mail configuration program simply stops responding. I also tried this on another machine and with another test account but i can't seem to get it working. When i do a netstat -an on the exchange server i do see a connection between the client and the server. In the event viewer on the client the following appears : event ID 1002 description : Hanging application rundll32.exe, version 5.1.2600.0, hang module hungapp, version 0.0.0.0, hang address 0x00000000. event ID 1001 description : Fault bucket 02096553. Has anyone seen this before and/or does anyone know how to resolve this? DNS and WINS are working fine, i can find the server using NSLookup, ping and so on.
