Client-side requirements for Entourage 2004:
Server-side requirements:
Set up and use the client:
-
If you have choosen Entourage 2004 as your email exchange client, and the preceding requirements are met, then you must configure an Exchange account in Entourage.
-
Ensure that the computer is connected to a network that has access to the Exchange server.
-
To set up an Exchange account with default settings, use the Account Setup Assistant. The Assistant uses the account ID, password, and domain that you provide to automatically detect the correct settings for an account. The Assistant uses the DNS servers configured in the client Network System Preferences to locate the Active Directory global catalog server authoritative for the domain, and sends an LDAP query using the account ID and password to authenticate the user. In addition to receiving Exchange mail, all Contacts and Calendar items are synchronized with the Exchange server. If a user later decides to exclude some of his or her contacts or Calendar items from synchronization, he or she will be able to do so.
To set up the client account:
- In Entourage, on the Tools menu, click Accounts.
- Click the Exchange tab, and then click New. (If you see the New Account dialog box, click the Assist Me button.)
- Follow the instructions in the Account Setup Assistant.
- To set up your account without the Assistant, click Configure account manually.
- If you want to specify synchronization settings while you are setting up your account, you can configure the account manually. You can also configure the account manually after the Assistant has attempted automatic configuration.
- If you create more than one Exchange server account, by default all additional accounts will not synchronize Contacts and Calendar items with the Exchange server. To set up additional accounts that synchronize these items, configure the account manually.
