    Hi I was wondering whether anyone has had / is having a similar problem to me.

    I currently run parallels with a copy of windows xp sp3 as a guest OS on my machine (MacBook Pro 17" 2.8ghz c2d) to gain access to Visual Studio and microsoft sequel server for development work.

    The problem I'm having is that office:Mac 2011's version of Outlook doesn't talk to the SBS 2003 and exchange 2003 my work has installed for e-mails, calendars and contacts etc.

    I decided to install Office 2010 on the windows machine and try getting the same settings as one of my colleagues to see if that would work.

    Anyway, to cut a long story short, i set it up and it came up with an error saying 'outlook can't connect to the exchange server.

    Does anyone know whether there is a fix for this problem? I can't do anything about it in Outlook as it wont let me get to the program at all for this error! Driving me nuts!

    Any help welcome!

    Thank guys

    I can connect to Outlook Web portal via Internet Explorer on virtual machine and Chrome on host, also connected to the sharing folder on the server on both. Still no Outlook connection!

    HELP! =(

    Hi,

    I'm using parallels desktop version 7, the latest build. I updated it last night and still no connection to exchange server.
