Exchange 2007 SP2 Windows Server 20008 SP1 Our original install of Exchange 2007 on a Windows 2003 was working fine, except that the server started to fail on a regular basis (seems to be some sort of a hardware issue, but we have not been able to track it down). Figured we'd take a new server we had been playing with (and was originally to be assigned to another purpose) and use that for the Exchange server. All the issues now seem to be ironed out (who would have thought that Exchange would want to use an IPv6 DNS server rather than the IPv4 ones it was told to use?), except one. We can not see the public folders via Outlook 2007 (no other versions in use).
If we go to OWA, we can see and manipulate the public folders, but Outlook simply gives an error message, "Cannot expand the folder. The attempt to log on to Microsoft Exchange has failed." I've been Googling, and there does seedm to be a lot out there that comes up, but anything that deals with my particular situation is unanswered, mostly with abandoned threads. following up on the ones involving different versions of software (Exchange server, or Outlook, or, most likely, both) have proven to be inapplicable at one point or another due to incompatibilities in the software (differences in the management consoles of earlier versions of Exchange, not knowing if PowerShell would help because my knowledge is not great enough, etc.). Does anyone have a fix for this? -- \\Steve//
