Entourage 2008 deployments in an Active Directory infrastructure

In an Active Directory infrastructure, Entourage 2008 can configure users' Microsoft Exchange Server accounts automatically if the following requirements are met.

Computer

Requirements

Client

Before Entourage is opened for the first time on a computer on which you intend to use the Account Setup Assistant, specify any preferred DNS server(s) and search domain(s) on the TCP/IP tab under Network Preferences in Mac OS X. This is because the combination of the two values is critical to the ability of the Account Setup Assistant to find servers on the network. If no DNS server is specified, a server that is assigned by DHCP will be used. The Account Setup Assistant is not always able to locate servers automatically.

For information about how the Account Setup Assistant detects information for automatic account configuration, see How the Account Setup Assistant works in the Office 2008 Planning section.

Server

To auto-configure accounts, Entourage relies on the underlying DNS service that supports your Active Directory infrastructure. The DNS server that is used by the Macintosh clients must be able to do one of the following:

  • Return a DNS resource record that identifies the Active Directory domain controller for the domain names that the DNS server hosts.

  • Resolve the domain name that the user enters for his or her Microsoft Exchange account.

In either case, the DNS server should be able to provide name resolution for any name in the Active Directory namespace that this server supports.

Entourage must be able to locate the global catalog server for the Active Directory domain and then authenticate the user account information that is supplied for the Microsoft Exchange mail account. The fundamental configuration step that makes this possible is performed at the time that Active Directory is deployed. Deploying Entourage requires no additional configuration of Active Directory.

Important

In anActive Directory infrastructure that is heavily secured, the Account Setup Assistant might have difficulty locating the Active Directory global catalog server and authenticating the user account. Examples of heavily secured scenarios can include, using Windows IP sec policies, internal firewalls, or proxy servers requiring authentication.
