    I've DC, Client Access Server(CAS) and Mailbox Server(EX02) - each of them on different virtual machine. Getting the mailbox table according to this article works fine if I type the EX02(my mailbox server) in the "Server Name" field but if I type CAS the MFCMapi returns MAPI_E_NETWORK_ERROR. Could someone tell me what is the problem? Is it possible to get mailbox table through CAS server? FYI, I have an Outlook successfuly connected to the Exchange server from the other virtual machine, so I believe that the CAS server is configured correctly.

    Thanks for this post I am currently using Exchange 2010 as well and followed the above mentioned steps. Afterwards I was able to receive all information. But ... :) I am using Easy2Sync for Outlook to backup each user of my Exchange server. For examle the username is "testUser". In this case I thought it would be possible to change "Administrator" with "testUser" (in profile wizard). Logon was not a problem but if i want to read any information of this account I receive "MAPI_E_FAILONEPROVIDER" :( ... Afterwards I tried to connect via Easy2Sync for Outlook and received the same error. Do I have so set a specific User-Group to the AD-User "testUser"? Wuaaaah ... please help me :(
