I am sorry but I do not how Windows network and Exchange server works. There must be some ports need to be opened for Exchange server. You should consult the documents provided by Microsoft. You can also sniffer the packets on the PIX, by using "capture" (see

simply add a "deny ip any any" at the end of an ACL and try to login to the Exchange server from your Windows client to see what violation log says. I guess you need to permit SMTP and/or POP3.

I believe the netbios issue and exchange server issue are relative to each other; how messy windows handles name resolve through domain controller\\\\.. But at any rate, for this instance I can get around the issue without over troubleshooting it.
capture: That's a great troubleshooting feature, btw. I never would have thought of that.
