I tried the usual routing in getting my Vista Beta 2/Outlook 2007 Beta 2 to
connect to our office exchange server.

First, downloadling a cert with IE7 is a real pain because you don't get the
usual option to 'View Cert' as it tries to protect you from all that jazz. I
got around that manually.

However, even after I configure the HTTPS proxy etc, after the first
username/login prompt, Outlook tells me it can't communicate with the
Exchange server. In detail, the message is:


The connection to the Microsoft Exchange Server is unavailable. Outlook
must be online or connected to complete this action.


The pause is there which leads me to think it gets to the proxy and
establishes the first part. But after that - it fails very fast.

Any thoughts? I'm going to try this on XP to see if its Vista doing it, but
the combo is what I'm going to be running throughout the office next year so
I thought I'd chime in early on this one.
