This problem is finally solved. Our Exchange server was previously a domain
controller. See KB927612 .

Thank's neo. I will try this after the Holidays as well as installing on
another machine and use another user account.

When you create the mail profile via the mail applet, go into the advanced
section (more settings) security tab. Try unchecking the box to encrypt
data between the server and you as well as reconfigure logon security from
kerberos/ntlm to just plain ol' ntlm.

Exactly. I am not crossing any domains. We have the domain controller (AD)
on
one server and Exchange 2003(with all the latest pacthes) on another.

I have another partition on my laptop with Windows 2003 server SP1 and
installed Office 2007 on that as well. The same negative result appears.

The partition is joined to the LAN with a separate machine name.

I have checked the event handler on my laptop and there are no error
messages.

Thank's for your attention.

Weird. The computer you are setting up the profile on, is it joined to
the
same domain the exchange server is in?

Yes, I have tried to create a new profile but I will be promted for
login
and
password(to the domain) in the same way as when I try to configure
Outlook
2007. The same error message appear.

In the dialoge, add new email account/online serach for your server
settings
it stops with error in the third step(Log on to server)

Have you tried creating a new mail profile via the mail applet in the

before
deleting the old one.)

Hello. When I try to configure my Outlook 2007 client(RTM-version) I
get
the
following error message: "The connection to Microsoft exchange is
unavailable. Outlook must either be online or connected to complete
this
action"

I am constantly being prompted to login to the Exchange server even
if
I
have already logged in to our LAN. I use the same password and
account
as
when I log in to the domain, but Exchange will not accept it.

The description of the problem in kb927481 do not apply because we
do
not
run Exchange 2007 and I do not have the registry setting described
in
that
article.

I am running Windows XP SP2 with all the released patches after
that.
My
machine have runned Office 2003 before and I tried to upgrade first.

Any ideas?
Kind regards
Thomas
