Having a bit of a problem with one particular Exchange server at my organization and getting Outlook to work.
Have 2 e-mail servers at the location I am using the VPN to get to - I can map drives, remote in, ping hosts, etc. just about anything I need to.
When my exchange mailbox is on exchange server A - it works just fine. Now, I'm migrating all mailboxes to a new exchange server - exchange server B. When I move my mailbox to exchange server B, and attempt to open my mailbox using Outlook, I get the error: "Unable to display the selected folder or item. You do not have permission to log on".
Now on this same server - OWA works just fine, Outlook works fine internally when at that location also. I only see this issue if my mailbox is on the New server (exchange B) and I'm in with VPN. Then I get this error. As I type this, I get this error, but have a drive mapped to the C$ share on that same server, so it's not a permissions problem as far as I can tell (since I can log on when actually logged into the domain at work).
If I move my mailbox back to server A now - it will work fine.
I also noted another odd problem, perhaps not - but I feel I should mention it too. Earlier I was checking into why some drives couldn't be mapped using the computer name - well, I found DNS doesn't seem to be doing lookups across the VPN. This is an odd problem - I can remote into one of the DNS servers and use nslookup for a query. It works just fine - say I type "server a" it replies with the proper IP address - so I know DNS Is working fine on the server.
Now - I am connected at home using the VPN. I open a command prompt - start up nslookup. It gives me the nslookup prompt - even telling me it's using the correct DNS server at work.
Server: dns.domain.com.local
Address: 192.168.2.3
I try the exact same query and I get this:
"*** dns.domain.com.local can't find server a: Non-existent domain"
It's clearly using the server at work for DNS - why would I not be able to get the same result for the query I tried when using RDC on the server? I could see this if it was using my ISP's DNS, but that's not the case.
Well - that issue's no big deal, WINS is currently resolving host names.
