Hi,
Desperate to find a solution for this weird problem.
My clients (W2K Workstations) running Outlook 2003 connecting to a Exchange
2k server are suddenly giving me problem when i start them. They have been
working fine for the past 6 months. The following are the symptoms:
1. When starting OL2003, It stayed at the OL2003 splash screen for a long
time (2min+) before prompting that "Your exchange server is unavailable"
giving me the option to , or
2. Upon retry, after another round of long wait it will then get in
successfully
3. Recreation of a new profile gives me a long wait after i key in Exchange
server hostname and username and press "Check Name"
(Tried with IP addr, FQDN of the Exchange server with similar results)
4. No problem with
- Ping-ing with IP addr, hostname and FQDN
- NSLookup for the Exchange server
5. A entry of the FQDN of the exchange server in the host table didnt help
6. Reinstalled MS Office and patched to SP2 didn't help
7. OWA version works perfectly fine
8. Outlook 98 on my other server works fine
9. No error log entries in the event log
I have exhausted all known options to me to troubleshoot this hair pulling
problem.. can anyone out there help please?? Thanxs
