Default Outlook 2007 - Trying to have profile settings created/maintai

OK. Trying just the basic features at the moment (not doing the IMAP yet),
and running into a couple of snags.
One is the ADM template isn't quite right for Outlook 2007. That is fixed
via http://support.microsoft.com/kb/926537 incase anyone runs into the issue
while following alone.

Next, when I try forcing the setting to work automatically (so no prompts),
it has problems finding the server.

Policy looks like this:
Microsoft Office Outlook 2007/Tools | Account Settings/Cached Exchange Mode
Cached Exchange Mode (File | Cached Exchange Mode) - Disabled
Do not use Cached Exchange Mode for all new Outlook profiles - Enabled

Microsoft Office Outlook 2007/Tools | Account Settings/Exchange
Automatically configure profile based on Active Directory Primary SMTP
address - Enabled
Cached Exchange low bandwidth threshold - Disabled

When doing the automatic/silent profile setup, it complains the server name
is invalid. It kicks out to the 'check name' option and the server name is
listed as:

/o=D230/ou=Exchange Administrative Group
(FYDIBOHF23SPDLT)/cn=Configuration/cn=Servers/cn=S-D230EXB1

If I change it to:
S-D230EXB1
and do a check-name, it works fine.

If I change the policy so
Automatically configure profile based on Active Directory Primary SMTP
address - Enabled
is DISABLED instead, it works fine (but I need to click 'next' in the
wizard, etc).
So, not sure why the server name confuses it when doing it automatically.

Also, regardless of which option I have selected, it seems to force cache
mode. I'm thinking I have the right policies set for disabling cached mode,
but never tried it before so maybe there is a better option than the ones I
am pickng to disable it.

Thanks.
