Office 2008 Deployment

Preparing the infrastructure

Before you provide your users with instructions to set up a Microsoft Exchange Server account, you must understand the different server and server roles that Entourage 2008 connects to in your organization's Exchange 2007 environment. For information about Exchange server requirements, see Exchange Server and related requirements for Entourage 2008 in the Office 2008 Planning section.

•When a user configures an account, the Entourage 2008 Account Setup Assistant queries the DNS server to locate a domain controller. Next, it finds the Exchange server that hosts the user's mailbox and then connects to the server to begin synchronization. The mailbox contains private data that belongs to an individual user and contains mailbox folders that are generated when a new mailbox is created for that user. For more information about the mailbox server, see the Exchange Server page on the Microsoft TechNet Web site (technet.microsoft.com).

To perform the DNS Server query, the Account Setup Assistant uses a DNS server that is configured in Mac OS X under Network Preferences. It is important that the user's Network settings in System Preferences are properly configured with the appropriate search domains and DNS server because Entourage uses this information to find servers on a network.

•Entourage 2008 connects to the Public Folder server to access the public folders.

Note Entourage 2004 connects to the Public Folder server to access both the public folders and the free/busy information. Entourage 2008 uses the Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Availability service in Exchange 2007 to retrieve free/busy information for users.

•Entourage 2008 connects to an LDAP server, which in an Active Directory-based environment is the Global Catalog server. The Global Catalog server is a distributed data repository in an Active Directory environment that hosts the Global address list (GAL) of your Exchange organization.

•Entourage 2008 uses the Client Access server as the connection point to connect to the Exchange 2007. In addition to being the connection point for client applications, the Client Access server supports the following Exchange 2007 Web Services: Autodiscover service and Availability service. The Autodiscover service enables automatic detection of client profiles during the Microsoft Exchange account setup in Entourage 2008. The Availability service retrieves free/busy information as stated earlier.

When connected to an Exchange 2007 SP1 Client Access server, Entourage 2008 also supports the delegate management service.
