Please help. I am totally pissing off our system admin.

We are not supposed to use Outlook on our desktops, we are supposed to use Outlook on servers we RDP into to. But I broke the rules and installed MS Office 2007 on my desktop and used the Cisco IPSEC client to connect to exchange (and yes I have Windows XP Service Pack 3). We have Exchange 5.5 and roaming profiles.

The first time I connected to by account it worked great. Then later in the day I lost connection, and I cannot connect anymore, even with Outlook 2003 when I RDP to the servers. I get the following error:

?Unable to open your default e-mail folders. The Microsoft Exchange Server computer is not available. Either there are network problems or the Microsoft Exchange Server computer is down for maintenance.?

The server is up, my colleagues are connected to it, and I can still use my account with OWC.

My first thought is that the Outlook profile is damaged in your romaing profile, since it works in OWA.

Time to come clean to the system administrator about what you did, as they will eventually figure it out anyway.

I did finally come clean and he can?t figure out what is wrong. I did create a new mail profile and had no luck.
