XCLN: Exchange Brings Up IE Dial-up Connection on Start-up

SYMPTOMS
You have a Microsoft Exchange profile set to connect with a dial-up
networking connection. You also have another dial-up networking connection
set in Microsoft Internet Explorer on the Connection tab, under Connect to
the Internet as Needed (formerly Autodial). Exchange brings up the Internet
Explorer connection on start-up despite being set for another dial-up
connection.
When Autodial is disabled, Exchange uses whatever connection is specified
on the Exchange Server Service Dial-Up Networking tab.
CAUSE
This is by design. The dial-up connection dialog box is called because of
initialization of the TCP/IP protocol on the local computer. Anything that
you call up that uses TCP/IP will bring up the specified connection. There
is no way to adjust the LAN Adapter (LANA) order to change this.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, do one of the following:
- Create a separate Hardware Profile to use Autodial. You must restart the
computer and start the other profile in order to use Autodial.
- Disable Autodial, and create a shortcut on the desktop for the ISP
connection. You will need to open this connection prior to starting
Internet Explorer.
- Disable Autodial before starting the Exchange dial-up session, and enable
Autodial when finished.
