Existing enviornment Exchange 2003 with XP -- office 2003 -- all working
correctly.

Problem:

Inside the network, no firewalls invovled.
Clean install of Vista, Clean install of Office 2007 Beta 2 -- no errors
reported.
Create a new profile, configure it for RPC/HTTP and it seems to work.

Go into the connections tab however, and it shows different.
There are three directory connections all showing HTTPS
The mail connection always shows TCP/IP no matter what I do. When taking it
outside of the firewall, the directory connections are HTTPS, but the mail
connection is never made.
 
Do you have it using the option for fast networks and slow networks to
connect using https then tcp/ip when connected? Try changing those settings
and see if it works - I know Ol2007 works as you expect because its working
for me inside the network - both mail and directory are https.
 
This issue is fixed. There was a single Exchange 2003 server configured for
rpc/http. Using the same certificates/configurations, we added a front end
server and it started working as expected.

There is a major bug in there somewhere -- either in the Exchange side that
correctly supports XP but will not suport Vista/Office 2007 or on the client
side that has different rules/behaviors from Outlook 2003.

Should be transparent which client is connecting to Exchange and it appears
that is is not.
