When I try to configure Outlook to resolve a name I get the following error message "The name could not be resolved. The name could not be matched to a name in the address list"
I looked at Q274668 and the permission was already checked. Any ideas.Thanks.

Are you sure your are typing the name correctly?

I would check and see if you can ping the server by IP? by name? if not by name then it could be related to DNS/WINs depending on the client OS

Also you might want to see if you can resolve another name, log on as a different user and try, or try that user on a different workstation.

its looks like you didnt configure the smtp
connector to reroute mail.so if an address is
not in the global address list it cannot be resolved.

when u creat a user on the server, after creating it, the exchange configuration will pop out.

So better to configure from there instead of configured manually.

I forgot to mention that I installed Exch in a FE/BE config and installed it on the FE first. The RUS was set to the first server I installed it on instead of the BE.
