Hi.
I have created a new virtual "test" environment, with 3 machines, all connected to the same virtual network.
1) Windows Server 2012, Domain Controller + DHCP server
2) Windows Server 2012, Member Server + Exchange 2013
3) Windows 7 Pro + Outlook 2007
Now: i have set from "ecp" all the basic things in exchange 2013, as "accepted domains", receiving and sending connectors, verified in "server - server - outlook anywhere" that the field "internal server name" was as i expected (exch2012.mydomain.mycity).
Then I created a new account "USER", directly from ECP, with his new mailbox.
I have connected the Win7 client to the domain, and created a local user corresponding to the one created in exchange/AD. The client is connecting regularly to the domain, no problem here.
Even if I try to access the mailbox from Internet Explorer, going to "https://exch2012/owa", i can access it, and even send and read message.
The problem here is when i try to create an Outlook 2007 profile. As i enter in the profile manager in control panel, and try to create the profile, the wizard auto-fill the fields with name="user" and address="user@mydomain.mycity". Anyway, i choose to manually configure the account. In the next windows, the wizards asks for the server name, and here i type "exch2012.mydomain.mycity". In the user field i set "user".
As soon as i hit the "check name" button, the wizard answer "unable to complete the action. connection to microsoft exchange not available. to complete the operation, it is necessary that outlook is on a network or connected" (sorry - my server is in italian and i tried to translate the message the best i can).
The communication from the 3 machines are, i guess, perfect, since the ping "machine_name" respond perfectly. As said i can even access the mailbox via OWA from the same Windows 7 machine, typing simply the servername/owa.
There is something else i am failing to do...but i don't know anymore what it could be!
Hope someone can help me.Thanks
