Hi Mark,
I had exactly the same problems and didn't manage to find help any where. I
did get a connection using user@servername but I couldn't get real e-mail
addresses to work. Eventually, despite having IM running only on one server,
I decided to try setting it up with a virual routing server and its now
working perfectly.
Here's what I did:
- Setup a new IIS Web Site called im.domain.com
o IP Address - All unassigned
o Host header - im.domain.com
- In Exchange System Manager
o I added a virtual server (this will be the routing server)
o Display name: IM Routing Server
o DNS Name: im.domain.com
o For IIS web site I selected: im.domain.com
o Do not check "host accounts"
o Then I added another virtual server (this will be the home server)
o Display name: IM Home Server
o DNS Name: "servername" (This is the server name and is the default
option)
o For IIS web site I selected: Default Web Site
o Check "allow server to host accounts"
- In the W2K DNS
o I added the following A records: im.domain.com 207.236.x.x
o New Service locator record: _rvp._tcp.domain.com SRV 0 0 80 im.domain.com
I basically copied this from the server setup log just changing the names
and ips to protect the innocent. ;o) Hopefully it'll give you an idea of how
to set it up. On our DNS provider domain.com points to this box and now
everything works well.
Hope this helps...
