Exchange 2000 and Small Business

This is a ten user version of small business server. A system died so I added a new computer to the network to replace old system. Everything works great except I can not get Outlook 2000 to logon to the Exchange Server. I have removed all old computers and users from active directory and exchange, but I still con not get this new system to logon to exchange. I can go to any other system on the network and log it in to Exchange through Outlook 2000. I am thinking this is a license problem but I really don't have a clue. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. All drive mappings and printers work fine through Active Directory.

When you create a profile on a workstation, does Exchange resolve the name?
Does the ipconfig/all from the clients show that everything is pointing to
the server-IP?
Anything in the eventlogs on the server or the workstation? What OS on the
workstation?

Yes, Yes, No, and Windows 2000 Pro. This is the error message; The name could not be resolved; the Microsoft Exchange address book was unable to logon to the Microsoft Exchange Server computer. Contact your administrator.

I have also installed all service packs and updates for server and exchange, but I was wrong it is only a five user version for SBS. There are currently 4 users on it.

To me it looks like Recipient Update Service has not stamped the user.
Could you please start up Exchange System Manager, expand Recipients
/Recipient Update Service and then Rebuild RUS manually by rightclick the
Domain RUS. Otherwise, generate LDP dumps of an user and post it to this
newsgroup.

Thank you for posting to the newsgroup.

From your post, this appears to be happening on one workstation.

My suggestion would be to check the following registry key on the client
machine:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Rpc\ClientProtocols]
"ncacn_np"="rpcrt4.dll"
"ncacn_ip_tcp"="rpcrt4.dll"
"ncadg_ip_udp"="rpcrt4.dll"
"ncacn_http"="rpcrt4.dll"

Thanks for all your help; I was able to log on with the original PC. I replaced the hard drive and installed a new copy of win 2k pro. The other new system would still not logon even after checking registry or uninstalling IP and adding it back. Both systems have identical configs and are fresh installs with service pack 4 and all updates installed. I am going to double check the registry entries in the system that would not work, however I believe they will be in their text book config since the system is a fresh install. The only thing I can think of at this time is either the NIC card in the new system was not working with LDAP (Microsoft NIC Adapter, go figure) or the SBS server licensing is using MAC addresses for itâ??s per server connections, any thoughts? Anyway the new system will work just fine at another location that does not have exchange? This seems to be a KISS problem that got the better of me. Thanks for your help guys/gals, I really do appreciate all your help, its people like you that makes Microsoft products so great.
