Undesired Autocomplete of Outlook Web Access (OWA) Server Name

Question

Undesired Autocomplete of Outlook Web Access (OWA) Server Name

I need to get all my Contacts from my company's MS Exchange Server 2007 into my new MacBook. I found that I can even synchronize my Mac's Address Book with Exchange on hourly basis.

So far, I have not been succeeded. I think this might be the problem. When prompted to input Outlook Web Access (OWA) Server and I input "https://webmail.pconnect.biz/" it automatically adds "exchange/myusername/" to the domain name. I do not know why, but it doesn't work that way with my company's OWA. I only need to type "https://webmail.pconnect.biz/". Inputting user name and password must be done on the first screen later. If I typed "https://webmail.pconnect.biz/exchange/myusername/" it will not connect.

Can someone help me please?

Thank you!

MacBook Pro 13", Mac OS X (10.5.8), MS Exchange Server 2007

That's part of Exchange's Auto Discover feature. Not much you can really do about it.

I do not know why, but it doesn't work that way with my company's OWA.

Auto Discover is not needed with OWA access

This is not a Mac issue, as it's dependent on the server's Auto Discover settings. I suggest you contact your Exchange server admins for assistance.
