Arrrgh, Matey! Exchange Walks The Plank!
After annoying my co-workers ("Avast, me hearties!"), I have finally managed to wrestle Exchange Server 2003 into a sorta submission.
It all turned out to be, in a most embarassing turn of events, my very own workstation's fault.
Rule Nr. 543: If you, as an IT geek, are going to test a network install of a server application, do NOT use your own (heavily "customized") workstation for test purposes.
There are disadvantages to having "Network Deity" privileges for your own workstation...
Anyway, the "test" Exchange environment now plays nicely with our "standard" Win2K/WinXP+Outlook200x workstation environment.
In about a month, after beating on the test environment, we'll start rolling the new email/calendaring system out.
The big deal, of course, is going to be the training issue.
If I'm lucky, I'll still have some of my hair left when it's all done...
