Directory Server #26

Hello, In the script "Outlook Exchange Setup 5.5.4.scpt" does it have a way to fill the DirectoryServer field with the first Exchange server that replies, because we have several? I tried to put * .MyDomainExample.com but it does not work, and if I leave it empty, in Outlook it does not automatically fill with the name of the Exchange server. Thanks for your help.

Hi @USicilianU!

The script doesn't search for domain resources such as the Directory Server address. It takes a hard-coded value that you put into the properties at the top. That server should be a Global Catalog (GC) server (a special type of domain controller). If your organization's network group has created an alias that directs to the nearest GC, that would be ideal. Otherwise, you may need to have a custom script for each location.

OK, thanks you for your answer @talkingmoose

But why when I open Outlook and insert an account manually with the Kerberos method without going through the script, it automatically fills the servers? And if I use your self-configuration script, it does not fill the servers?
