I have noticed that XP is real picky about that. Recent one, a vender laptop setup and as his domain was not the same as mine, for the exchange server he had to enter 'exchange.company.com' instead of just 'exchange'.
(We have a DNS entry aliasing 'exchange' to our bridgehead server) See if you can ping the server by name, if you can't, then add it in a HOSTS or LMHOSTS file. -sp -----Original Message----- From: Garland Mac Neill [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, June 13, 2002 12:26 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: vpn and exchange Yes it has to be from the same Domain. In Addition make sure the DNS numbers are correct and in the right Order. If the Laptop isn't on the same domain, the only thing you can do is kick it over to a workgroup for now. If you try to change the Domain on the VPN it will not find the Authorative server. -----Original Message----- From: Chris Hampton [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, June 13, 2002 12:40 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: vpn and exchange I am using xp would this still make a difference and does it have to be from the same domain.
