Microsoft Entourage 2004 is a Microsoft Exchange Server client for Mac OS X. It supports many, but not all, of the same services as Microsoft Outlook for Windows<\/a>. Major supported features include email, calendaring and Global Address List (GAL) lookups. Limited support is provided for public folders and delegation.<\/p>\n

The following instructions should work for most basic setups. A customizable Applescript<\/a> is available for Macintosh administrators who are interested in automating the Exchange Server connections for their users.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Launch Entourage 2004 and close the Entourage Setup Assistant window if it appears.<\/li>\n
  2. Select About Entourage<\/strong> from the Entourage<\/strong> menu and verify that Entourage is at least version 11.3.3. If necessary download<\/a> and install the Microsoft Office 2004 for Mac 11.3.4 Update. Close the About Entourage window.\n

    \"About<\/li>\n

  3. Select Accounts<\/strong> from the Tools<\/strong> menu and then select Exchange…<\/strong> from the New<\/strong> menu.\n

    \"New<\/li>\n

    \n(Some of this information must be provided by the Exchange Server administrator.)<\/em>:<\/p>\n
      \n

      • LDAP server: Address of a domain Global Catalog server<\/strong><\/li>\n
      • Select: This server requires me to log on<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        \"Advanced\"
        \nOptionally, your Exchange Server administrator may require a search base string. This should be left blank unless provided the specific search base string by the Exchange Server administrator.
        \n\"Advanced\"<\/li>\n

      • Click the OK<\/strong> button. The Exchange Server email account will appear in the folders list in the Entourage Mail window and will begin to synchronize.\n
