Ms Outlook 2007 while configuration

Hi,

The following scenarios might help you get started in fixing the error “The action cannot be completed. The connection to Microsoft Exchange is unavailable. Outlook must be online or connected to complete this action. ” This happens when the following scenarios are true:

You have a Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 server that is running the Client Access Server (CAS) role in the Exchange 2003 organization.

Either of the following registry values are set on the computer on which Outlook 2007 is installed:

HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwarePoliciesMicrosoftOffice12.0OutlookAutoDiscover

• Value name: ZeroConfigExchange
• Value type: REG_DWORD
• Value data: 1

HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftOffice12.0OutlookAutoDiscover

• Value name: ZeroConfigExchange
• Value type: REG_DWORD
• Value data: 1

Your mailbox is located on a mailbox server that is running Exchange Server 2003. You do not have an Outlook profile configured before you start Outlook 2007. There are 2 ways for you to follow in fixing the problem. You can use one of this in fixing the error.

The first way is to remove the ZeroConfigExchange registry data. You have to remove the Group Policy or the system policy that sets the following registry entry:

HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwarePoliciesMicrosoftOffice14.0OutlookAutoDiscover  

• Value name: ZeroConfigExchange
• Value type: REG_DWORD
• Va  lue data: 1

Note: You may have to contact a domain administrator to modify this policy. You also have to delete the following non-policy registry data:

HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftOffice14.0OutlookAutoDiscover 

• Value name: ZeroConfigExchange
• Value type: REG_DWORD
• V alue data: 1

The second way is to move the mailbox to an Exchange 2007 mailbox server however you don’t have to do this if the mailbox is located on an Exchange 2007 mailbox server.

Hope the information above was able to help you.

Thanks.
