Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 and Windows 8 Compatibility

Is there a fix or workaround for accessing email via Outlook 2013 (Windows 8) when your company uses Microsoft exchange server 2003 and has not plans on upgrading it any time soon. I am a remote employee so I am the only one that has this problem in the
company. I can access email through an owa account but it's a pain. I tried to set up a rule to have all incoming mail forwarded to my gmail account in Outlook 2013, but that did not work. Any other ideas?

If server has enabled ActiveSync you can use Windows 8 Mail Client - works almost like Outlook.
AFAIR Outlook 2013 can't work with Exchange 2003.

  • Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 and McAfee Email Gateway appliance

    I have been connecting to my company's exchange server without incident until the IT department installed a McAfee Email Gateway. Now I cannot connect and the IT department tells me there is nothing they can do. Has anyone encountered this issue?

  • A problem with Win 7 Pro, Outlook Web Access based on Exchange Server 2003, and two different domains

    Dear Microsoft Support,
    As mentioned in the title,
    I have two domains. One is Domain A at HQ. The other one is Domain A at branch office. A laptop having Win 7 Pro OS is a client of Domain A. The Domain A has Exchange Server 2003. Users of Domain B get connected to Exchange Server for email services. In
    all clients of the Domain B, IP address of the email server added in C:\Windows\System 32\drivers\etc\host file.
    Whereas in the clients of Domain A it was not done, because all the servers including the email server belong to the Domain A.
    Now, a user with Domain A's client (it is a laptop) came to Branch office and wanted to access the Outlook (using Outlook Web Access). since there is no IP address added in the Host file of the laptop, connectivity to email is not possible. When I try to
    add the IP address, I was not able to do so due to Domain A's security reasons.
    So, let me know, is there a way out to add the IP address in the host file of the Domain A's client.
    Thanks in advance.
    Ravi Sekhar Modukuru

    I would suggest adding the mailserver address in Domain B's DNS. Would that be possible?
    I agree. The correct solution in this case (since it appears you already have a two-way Domain Trust in place) is to properly configure DNS in Domain 'B' to be a secondary of Domain 'A' and completely eliminate the need to maintain the HOSTS file.

  • Mapping issues with Server 2003 and windows 8.1 machine

    We are running Windows Server 2003 and trying to map network drives through a GPO script on a Windows 8.1 machine.  The drives don't get mapped and if they do, it takes them 10minutes or more to show up.  The Folder Redirection is not working
    as well.  Any suggestions?

    Hi,
    This is because
    by default, on client computers, Group
    Policy processing is not synchronous, that is client computers typically do
    not wait for the network for GPO settings to be fully initialized at startup and logon. 
    Solution:
    Enable the
    policy setting Always
    wait for the network at computer startup and logon to set the client computers wait
    for the network for GPO settings to be fully initialized during computer startup and user logon.
    Steps to enable the Policy Setting
    - Open Group Policy Management Console (start -> Run -> Type GPMC.MSC).
    - Edit the required GPO and navigate to
    Computer Configuration/Administrative Templates/System/Logon and enable the option Always
    wait for the network at computer startup and logon 
    Checkout the below thread on similar problem and solution,

  • How to set Iphone 4s to sync with Microsoft Exchange server 2003?

    I am unable to set up my Microsoft Exchange Server with my Iphone 4s.  The exchange server is 2003 with Service Pack 2 installed.

  • Iphone 3G, Exchange Server 2003 and NOT sending "Read Mail" receipts

    I have a 3G Iphone that syncs with Exchange Server 2003. I do NOT want people to see when I read or delete their emails so I have my Outlook account set up that way. It works from my desktop, however, my Iphone still triggers notifications saying whether I read a message or deleted without reading. I haven't found a way to change this on the phone - has anyone else?
    Sorry to repost this question, but the first back in March never got any replies, so support suggested I try again. Thanks!

  • Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 Small Business Server

    Has anyone been successful syncing email with a MS Exchange Server 2003 Small Business Server?
    My IT guy has tunred on IMAP, but still no luck. Just get a warning message that the iPhone cannot connect to the server.
    Thanks.

    Turning IMAP on is the 1st step. IT will also need to open that port (143) on the firewall.

  • Exchange Server 2003 and OWA: Missing search box in contacts

    Don't know what has happened here, we got a new server administrator.
    Using OWA, connecting to our Server 2003 at the office.  He has put the Contacts in a Public Folder that we drill down into to access.  When accessing from home via OWA, and having drilled down to that public folder where the contacts reside, there
    isn't a search box.  In other words, if I wanted to search for a contact via OWS, I can't.  I have to sift through page by page, hoping I come upon the contact.
    Any help here?  The new administrator seems to push this off on the guy that just left.  Oy vey….

    If server has enabled ActiveSync you can use Windows 8 Mail Client - works almost like Outlook.
    AFAIR Outlook 2013 can't work with Exchange 2003.

  • Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 and iCal

    So at my new job they use Exchange Server 2007 for mail and calendars, and supposedly I should be able to view other people's calendars, but I can't find any way to do this in iCal.
    Do I have to install Entourage, or is there some other way to do this?

    Hello,
    I finally found the response : Grid control 11g cannot monitor Exchange Server 2007 or 2010 because they don't support WMI. The plugin uses WMI to connect to Exchange Server.
    Oracle have to create a new plugin based on PowerShell.
    Thanks Dominik.

  • Exchange Server 2003 SP2 - Forest and Domain Functional Level Limitations

    Hi All
    Bit of a legacy question and theres not much clarity out there..
    I need to confirm the highest DFL and FFL Supported by Microsoft for Exchange 2003 SP2?
    We currently have a mix of 2003 R2 and 2008 R2 domain controllers with the FFL and DFL currently set at 2003 R2.
    The plan is to move to Exchange 2010 in the very near future, so the question is do we need to wait until we upgrade to Exchange 2010 Before upgrading the DFL and FFL to 2008 R2?
    From what Ive read we will need to complete the Exchange upgrade first before moving forward with the functional level upgrades..
    Thanks in advance
    Bull

    Hi Bull,
    As Ed mentioned, Exchange server 2003 and Exchange 2010 support Windows Server 2003 domain functional level and Windows Server 2003 forest functional level, also supported in higher environment.
    More details about it, please refer to “Supported Active Directory environment” section:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff728623(v=exchg.150).aspx
    Note that we cannot add new DCs which are the less version of Windows Server
    cannot be added to the domain or forest. More details about
    the Impact of Upgrading the Domain or Forest Functional Level, for your reference:

  • Exchange server 2003 restartштп, after DC shutdown

    We have Exchange server 2003 and two DC on server 2008 r2 in organization.
    When main DC is shutting down, exchange server restarting. There are no scrips\GPO that orders to restart Exchange after shutting down the DC.
    What can cause this occurrence? How can I fix it?

    Hello,
    to work correct with Windows server 2008 r2 DCs it is important that Exchange 2003 SP2 is installed.
    Beside this you may create an additional GC in the ESM Recipient update service fo the second GC, so the connection is still available.
    We are also running Exchange 2003 with multiple Windows server 2008 R2 machine without any problems.

  • Microsoft Exchange server / OSX / Mail / entourage

    Just a quick question about this, as a friend of my Dad's has been giving him grief because he doesn't ever receive receipts that emails have been received / opened / read etc.
    As far as I know Apple Mail doesn't support Microsoft Exchange Server, but Entourage does - but is it as simple as my Dad using Entourage, or does it need to on a network using Microsoft Exchange Server?
    And if so, does this mean that two, common or garden home PC users using Windows Mail or Outlook wouldn't get email receipts from each other either?

    what would the situation be with two, bog standard home PCs using XP/Vista and Outlook Express/Windows Mail - would they generate and receive receipt notifications with each other?
    Windows Mail and Outlook Express both support receipts (do a web search to find more information and instructions). But they will get receipts only if the receiving email client supports them, so the recipient must also be running one of those two applications or one of the other rare email applications that does. And receipts in Internet-standard email really doesn't mean much; it may return even if the email is selected, or, as is apparently the case with both Outlook Express and Windows Mail, the recipient can disallow sending back the receipt which if true rather defeats the purpose.
    where does the Microsoft Exchange Server come into it, which was what I thought powered these?
    It may or may not. Both Outlook Express and Windows Mail are standard email applications and work with any standard email server. If the ISP/company/organization is using Exchange and has it set up for POP and/or IMAP, you can use any email application with the server including OE or Windows Mail. But you don't get any of the features an Exchange Server provides: shared calendaring, "real" delivery/read receipts (ones the user can't disallow), etc. For those you must use Outlook.

    JavaMail 1.4.3 added support for NTLM authentication. Normally I would expect that the
    same username and password would work with any authentication mechanism that's
    supported by the server, but that doesn't seem to be the case here.
    You can disable ntlm authentication by setting the session property "mail.imap.auth.ntlm.disable" to "true".
