Cached mode normally. I did try with cache disabled, but as soon as I open
Outlook it gives Microsoft Exchange Server is unavailable error.
Only thing left that I can thing of trying is an update for our ISA server
that is handling the VPN connection on the company side. I cannot do anything
with during business hours since it is also the internet pipe for our
Exchange server.

No error messages at all and nothing in the event viewer. The only visable
sign is the outlook status shows connecting briefly then disconnected.

If I try to create a new profile over the VPN connection, when clicking on
the check name button I get an error of The connection to the Microsoft
Exchange Server is unavailable. Outlook must be online or connected to
complete this action.

The same account works perfectly through the vpn on an xp machine. I am
totally confused as to what is going on here.

Just set up a Windows 7 notebook with OUtlook 2003 connecting to
Exchange
2003. All current service packs are installed.

When the notebookd is connected locally, outlook connects to exchange
and
works perfectly.

When I connect through a VPN tunnel I can browse any shares on the
same
server that exchange is on, but Outlook cannot connect. The same
account
works fine on an XP machine. A VPN tunnel is the only option for
connecting
with this machine when it is outside the company.

Any suggestions for fixing?

Thanks
