Manual Outlook Setup on Exchange 2007 for Windows XP and Vista
As a user on Exchange 2007 you will use the AutoDiscover feature to setup Outlook. To use this feature you will need a special DNS record, called a CNAME record, set up for your domain and pointing to our server. This must be done prior to setting up Outlook. Contact your DNS provider and request the following subdomain: autodiscover.yourdomain.com. Please note: It is important to rename the subdomain using this exact syntax.
Point the CNAME record for autodiscover.yourdomain.com to: ADR1.123Together.com
Due to the nature of DNS, the CNAME record created may take up to 4-8 hours to propagate. You will be able to take advantage of the AutoDiscover feature only when DNS changes have fully propagated.
To setup Outlook:
- Close Outlook.
- Download and run the pre-setup software: http://www.123together.com/Downloads/OLSetupv3.exe and select "“Update host file setting and Outlook plug-in only”.
