Came across this today so I thought I would put it out there to see if
anyone knows why this is happening.
Setup: Exchange 2007 / SP1
Created a user using the EMC and then checked hide user from the
exchange address list as I did not want this generic account to show
up in the GAL.
Created a new Outlook profile to connect to the exchange server using
cached exchange mode for that user per the norm / Outlook 2003
Tried to connect to exchange with Outlook 2003 . A dialog box popped
up telling me the user was not in the address list. Outlook was unable
to configure the Account.
I Unchecked the "Hide from exchange address list option" in the
Exchange EMC for the user account and outlook 2003 was able to connect
fine.
Went back to the exchange EMC and Un checked "hide from exchange
address list"
Outlook client could still connect fine.
It appears that the first time Outlook 2003 connects it needs to see
the user account in the Exchange address list and its unable to
configure it the "Hide from exchange address list option" is checked.
Anyone seen this ?
Thanks JJ

Thats normal. When you first create any OUtlook profile, it has to be
able to resolve the name. Alternatively, you could enter the
legacyExchangeDN of the user into the name field and it will find it
regardless if the mailbox is hidden or not.

That's how it works...
It needs to resolve the name first.

Can you point me to anywhere this might be documented by MS.
Not really a show stopper but I can see where it could cause an admin
to rack thir brain for a bit.
THanks JJ.
