Summary

Exchange 2010 services only function on Apple computers running OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) or greater. Mac Mail clients running on OS X 10.5 (Leopard) are not compatible with Exchange 2010 services. Users not meeting the minimum OS requirements should download and install Outlook 2011 or Entourage 2008. All users need to have an Autodiscover record configured. Check to ensure the target Mac is reachable, if not properly configure an Autodiscover Record. |
