I presume by "it" you mean the free/busy server.

One location is at
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\Sched ulingInformation\FreeBusySupport
There are four keys, default, EX, MS, and SMAP, and all have those
long hexadecimal data values.

Another is HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\Current
Version\Windows Messaging Subsystem\Profiles\MS Exchange Set. The set
has a number of hex keys, but I see my mail server in the data. There
is only one key with a server that's not my mail server ... and if I
use that in Entourage, it still does not see free/busy data.

Do know where it is?

Hes referring to the ability to minimize Outlook to the tray, not the
connection status stuff

No, the user's Outlook profile settings. I think this is the one:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows
Messaging Subsystem\Profiles\ [Profile_Name]
\48a1954c53196b4696a6b460e62e1803

Value 001e660c

Darn, I thought it was nailed ... but that value is my Exchange mail
server. By the way, I did try using (a) that server in my busy/free
server field; (b) leaving the busy/free field blank; and (c) using the
data at the same MS Exchange Settings key, name=001e6602.

That whole MS Exchange Settings key is interesting - one server, the
one at name=001e660c, is the usual mail server, and it appears in
several keys. One value entry in one subkey has the only server that's
different. I figured that server was the free/busy server, but it
didn't work.

Please don't reply to this e-mail. Today I will make a new, condensed
write-up that incorporates suggestions made and things learned, and I
will start a new thread. Thanks.

If all else fails, do a netstat to show the connections not as detailed as
ctrl right click ... but you can figure it out.

Thanks. I got it by going ahead and installing Outlook 2003, but I will
remember this next time 2003 is not available.

Should be listed there.

This one was eventually the solution. I ended up installing 2003 so I would
have the System tray icon to right-click, and it worked. Thanks.
