address book and presence is working for most(although not on my client, but I think that's a me issue, and not a server issue..).
The other interesting thing that I have going on now is.. and this wasn't happening before. I get an error that "There was a problem connecting to Microsoft Office Outlook. The e-mail address used in your default Outlook profile is different from the sign-in address used in Communicator. Change your default Outlook profile to match the sign-in address you are using in Communicator, and then sign out and sign back in to Communicator."
I believe this is breaking the IM history saving to outlook, and possibly might explain my presence issues. The problem that I see is domains.. My default email address is Derek.MurphyATionaDOTcom but my sign-in address is dmurphyATionaglobalDOTcom. Reason being is our internal AD domain is ionaglobal, and our external domain is iona(email addresses etc..). I have an email address of dmurphyATionaglobal... but i'd hope that it could all map to the same. I tried changing my outlook profile to use dmurphyATionaglobal but that didn't seem to help. I originally wanted to set the standard of people using sAMaccount@domain.com for the login, but i'm not sure if this will work.. I think I'm going to have to use email address as the login so I'll get the @iona.com..
thoughts?
Thanks for all the support so far!
