I have a laptop runnig Windows XP, when I try to connect Microsoft Outlook to exchange server, I fail to get that option and connect mail as Internet mail instead of Microsoft Exchange Server. I am able to see all the machines on the network. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

By the description of your problem, it sounds like you are using Outlook 2000 that is configured for Internet mail. You can easily change that by opening Outlook (you may need to configure a dummy email account or a personal folder file for Outlook to open fully). After you have Outlook open, Click on ?Tools? in the menu bar and select ?Options?. Next, click the ?Mail Services? tab and then click on ?Reconfigure Mail Support?. You will then want to bullet the option for ?Corporate or Workgroup? instead of ?Internet mail?. Then click next and it will reconfigure Outlook to support connections to Exchange servers. After it is done, close Outlook and setup a new profile by right clicking the Outlook icon on the desktop and selecting properties. I also suggest the you delete any profiles created during previous attempts of setup.

Hope that helps.
