  • 1. Outlook failes to connect on start, retry works
    Ok, I inherited a flawed network from a consultant and I'm trying to fix things. They had e-mail coming into E2000 server which was also the spam filter, then to an E2003 server. Clients connect to the E2003. Network addressing schema was 192.168.0.x. So I switched to 10.8.x.x since we were running low on available addresses. In the process I killed off the E2000 server. Now all spam filtering happens on the E2003 server and almost everything is working well. However, I have a handful of Outlook 2003 clients on W2000 Workstation and XPSP2 that receive an error that outlook could not connect to the exchange network when it is first launched. The staff can click the retry button and it works fine. This was not an issue before the changes. I've tried checking settings, tried rebooting into safe mode, tried removing the TCP/IP driver and reloading, tried doing a repair install of Office 2003. Next I was going to try removing the account info from Outlook and re-adding it. Does anyone know the answer? Thanks! Doug Evans IT Manager Association of Washington Cities

  • 4. Outlook 2003.exe hangs on exit
    I kinda feel like number 2 million posting this question, but none of the ones I've browsed through seem to fit my bill. A simple client setup, Windows XP with SP2 on a brand new HP 8220 laptop, with Office 2003 incl. SP3, and the remaining hotfixes. In 8 out of 10 instances Outlook.exe hangs in the processes list after closing the aplication. As some colleague prefer closing Outlook to work concetrated, they cant reopen Outlook, it just crashes with Dr. Watson. I've tried dsiabling Symantec Anti-Virus (Enterprises edition) which doesn't seem to help. There are no plugins, no anti-spam, nor a PDA synching with it or other external tools accessing Outlook. Outlook, and Anti-virus. Runs against Exchange 5.5. Although this baby is an oldie, more than half our clients dont have any issues, so it has to be client related. Ideas, suggestions?
  • 5. Outlook 2003 on Win2k machine can't see SBS2003 Exchange "server" but otherwise joined the domain fine
    We just set up an SBS2003 network and all the XP Pro machines came up fine. I got to a Win2k sp4 system and it joined the domain ok and has full access to the server shares etc. When I started Outlook 2003, the auto process started to migrate to Exchange (previously we were using a hosting POP3 account) and suddenly said it couldn't continue because it couldn't contact the Exchange server. I've made sure we have the latest Outlook 2003 updates and I performed all the same steps creating this user and joining his system as I did all the ones that worked. I can successfully log in as him using Outlook Web Access. Wes

Outlook 2003 Exchange Cached Mode bandwidth usage

Postby bartvd » Mon, 01 Mar 2004 17:23:55 GMT

Does any have some figures about the bandwidth usage per user for Outlook
2003 in Exchange Cached mode?

I would like to be able to calculate the needed bandwitdh for a number of
users?

Let's say if you have 10 users how much bandwidth is needed? what is there
are 20? or 50?

Some comparison between online and cached, or XP/2000 could also be usefull?

So does anyone have some figures for me?

Thanks.

Well the whole purpose of Cached Exchange mode is to reduce bandwidth. The
first time you start Outlook it will synchronise the selected folder
(Tools-> Options-> tab Mail Setup-> button Send/Receive-> button Edit...->
Select Exchange Account). These will be downloaded to the client so no
bandwidth is needed anymore.

Of course the total reduction of bandwidth depends on how often you view all
e-mails, how big the mailbox it and your synchronising settings but in
conjunction with Exchange 2003 it could save you about 30-40% of the
bandwidth you are currently using.

See  http://www.**--****.com/ 
info on the caching mode.

1.Using cached exchange mode vs not using cached exchange mode

We are using Outlook 2003 and Exchange 2000 server.  Getting prompts about 
using cached exchange mode.  What is the default setting for this?  Use or do 
not use?  What the benefits/drawbacks of using cached exchange mode.  We are 
in a 2003 domain environment.

2.How do I know if Outlook cache is sync'ed up with Exchange in Cached Exchange Mode

I've writing an Outlook plug-in that creates a folder and few messages 
inside the folder. It only creates these the first time it starts up, after 
that it just references them. The problem I'm having is that in a 
multi-client situation when one of the clients is using Cached Exchange 
mode, my plug-in will create the folder and messages before Outlook has 
sync'ed up with the server. This can cause duplicate folders and items to be 
created when Outlook finally manages to sync up its cache with the server. I 
can delay creating the folder for a few minutes but I would prefer to know 
that the mailbox is in sync with the server before I start my functions. Is 
there anyway to tell when a folder or msgstore is in sync with the server?

I know that I can bypass the cache by using the MAPI_NO_CACHE flags but it 
would be a lot simpler I could just tell when the cache was dirty or not.

3.Exchange 2003 Outlook 2003 Cached Exchange Mode

Hi,

Does anyone know of anyway I can perminently disable the Outlook Junk Email 
Filter while using Cached Exchange Mode?  If you turn it off in Outlook it 
comes back on the next time you launch outlook.  I am willing to disable it 
using any means possible...

Thank You,
Scott

4.Exchange Server 2007 - MS Outlook 2003 SP3 - Cached Exchange Mode

Good afternoon!

Quick Question:  client with multiple AD Sites - EXCH2007 box in "HQ", 
multiple WINXP SP3/MS Outlook 2003 SP3 clients in the Sites.

All clients now log into the domain.  Local Domain Controller in each Site. 
However, when going through the process of joining the computers to the 
domain and configuring the profile for each user (which includes MS 
Outlook - running in Cached Exchange Mode) we notice extreme network 
slowness in the remote Sites.  There is a T1 in each Remote Site.  Okay. 
Slowness is expected as the .ost file is being created on the machine. 
There are approx. 20 machines in each remote site.

QUESTION:  does Exchange/Outlook use http port 1164 for this process?  We 
are looking on our Firewalls and see a lot of traffic on the days that the 
Outlook clients were configured.

Thanks,

Cary 


5.Cached Exchange Mode Outlook 2003 and Exchange 5.5

Hey guys,

I am having an issue with an Outlook 2003 client running cached exchange 
server mode connecting to our exchange 5.5 server.

What happens is the user can go a couple of hours not receiving any 
messages, and then all of a sudden gets 20 messages delivered some dating 
back to an hour and a half ago.

Is there a way to get cached mode to synch the OST file more often, or get 
it to be delivered more real time then it currently is? Or is this a 
fundamental issue with Outlook 2003 and Exchange 5.5

Any help would be greatfully appreciated

Cheers

Brad
