Make sure that you input the correct info in the "Search Domains" field of
your TCP/IP control panel, and make sure the DNS server for your network has
an entry to map your Exchange server name to its IP address. You must meet
both of these requirements! I've tried typing the IP address of the
Exchange server in the profile setup, and the field automatically changed to
display the server name. However, I could never logon to Exchange.
Apparently some of it is purely TCP/IP based, but it still relies on DNS.
Once we input the DNS entry for our Exchange server, everything worked fine.
Even if your TCP/IP control panel seems to have the correct info, try
highlighting it and retyping the info; it is sometimes possible to have
invisible garbage characters in the field.
