•
Verify that WebDAV is enabled
PIM information is accessed using the WebDAV protocol. This protocol runs over HTTP and cannot be turned off, thus HTTP must be enabled for WebDAV to work. In addition, to use WebDAV to access Exchange, the HTTP server must have a virtual directory for Exchange, i.e. Exchange has to be exposed through the HTTP server.
Verify that WebDAV is enabled by entering the following address in a web browser:
<ip address of the mail server>:<port that is used for HTTP>/exchange
If you get the NT authentication prompt, WebDAV is enabled and PIM will be able to process.
On a server that best suits your configuration:
Download and install the Meeting Maker Sync Servlet. (See step 1 for supported version.)
