Event ID 26 at branch offices

[fowljewl]

We have several branch offices that connect to our Exchange 2003 server at
our central office. The clients are using Outlook 2003. Approximately every
30 minutes they are receiving a popup that " Connection to the Microsoft
Exchange Server has been lost". Almost immediately, the connection is
reestablished. The clients are connecting using a box to box VPN over a T1.

That almost sounds like an auto disconnect setting:

I check the Exchange server and it is set to 30 minutes. I checked one of
the clients and it is set to 15 minutes. I have played around with some
group policies for Outlook to try and not have the System Tray baloons pop up
but my clients are still receiving the errors.
