Mac OS X: Microsoft Entourage 2004 and Exchange 2007
As you may have learned from my post yesterday, I have recently taken the plunge into life on Mac OS X. With this came setting up Microsoft Office:mac Entourage 2004 to work with our Exchange 2007 server. I fought with this for quite some time until browsing over to Rob Baugh's blog post where the answers where held! Thank you Rob!
Once getting this to work, I have been quite happy with how well it has performed. Keep in mind that my laptop is running Mac OS X with Entourage, but I still run Windows Vista with Outlook 2007 on my desktop and my phone has Windows Mobile Smartphone Edition. I am able to keep all three of these synced up as well as OWA with no problem. My Contacts, Calendar and Email all just show up on each.
There are a few features that are missing such as access to server side rules (although they still work great) and server side categories. If you are Mac OS X only, you would hardly notice, but for me I just set my categories sometime when I am using Outlook 2007. I am excited with the next version of Entourage, but for now I am quite pleased.
