Summary
|
In the setup and configuration of Entourage it is very important to not only meet prerequisites, but to do so sequentially. It is recommended to have the Autodiscover record in place first, install the Entourage 12.2.8 update, and then install EWS. Installing EWS first, or installing on top of any version number prior to 12.2.8 will prevent the client from connecting to the Exchange server. It is imperative that the installation procedure does not deviate from the intended sequence.

1. Once Entourage is installed, download and install update 12.2.8 from Microsoft. If the version of Entourage was obtained from ITSN, that will be the only software update that will need to be run. Previous versions of Entourage may require Office Service Pack 1 prior to the installation of 12.2.8. After the update is downloaded and installed, from within Entourage click File > About Entourage to ensure the version number matches that of the image below. Version 12.2.8 Update: |

2. Download and install EWS version 13.0 from Microsoft. The update will only function properly if installed on top of the 12.2.8 update. After downloaded and installed, ensure the version number matches that of the image below. Exchange Web Services 13.0: |

9.The accounts window will now be displayed with the recently configured exchange account listed. Close that window to return to the inbox. Entourage will now begin to download email data from the server starting with the newest piece of mail, and working back to the oldest. During the download no new email will come in, but email can be sent out. Depending on the size of the mailbox this may take a few minutes to a couple of hours.
