Exchange offline address book synchronization

[JohnGregor]

I recently made major changes to my exchange server.

I had exchange 2000 at our Vancouver branch.

I set up a brand new exchange 2003 server at our Edmonton branch (with a new
domain) and migrated all my users.

So far it has run with few issues; however, for about half of my users in
Vancouver, their address books are failing to synchronize with the new
server. This is in turn causing internal emails to be bounced back to them. I
can temporarily fix the problem by blowing away their terminal service
connection and setting it up again, but after what appears to be a random
amount of time the problem reemerges.

When I try to synchronize the address books manually, it errors out.

Does anybody know what I have to do to properly reattach my offline address
books?

Thanks,
