XCLN: Using Exchange Client with IE Dial When Needed (AutoDial) Enabled

• Microsoft Exchange Windows 3.x client, versions 4.0, 5.0
• Microsoft Exchange Windows 95/98 client, versions 4.0, 5.0
• Microsoft Exchange Windows NT client, versions 4.0, 5.0

SUMMARY

It is possible for a Microsoft Exchange Client computer to connect successfully to a computer running Microsoft Exchange Server on a local LAN while still leaving the option for Internet Explorer to Dial When Needed (AutoDial) and not prompt for a dial-up networking dialog box. The dial-up connection dialog box is called because of initialization of the TCP/IP protocol on the local machine. It is possible to connect from a Microsoft Exchange Client to a Microsoft Exchange Server without using TCP/IP, provided that you can configure both computers to use a different protocol.

MORE INFORMATION

To connect Microsoft Exchange Client to the server without being prompted for a dial-up connection, perform the following steps:

1. Upgrade Microsoft Exchange Client to Service Pack 2 or later and follow the instructions for adding an entry to the Mapiscv.inf:

2. Create a new Microsoft Exchange Server profile. For more information on creating a profile see "Creating or Deleting a Profile" in the Microsoft Exchange Client online help.



3. Install NetBEUI or IPX/SPX on the Microsoft Exchange Client and on the computer running Microsoft Exchange Server.



4. Change the RPC_binding_order so TCP/IP is not being called. Change RPC_binding_order for all of your clients to include only the entry for ncacn_nb_nb or ncacn_spx. The first entry will use NetBIOS rather than NetBEUI and should allow you to connect to the server. The second entry will use IPX/SPX to connect the client to the server.
