nope, just WinXP SP1. I have Outlook 2000/2002 running and some are at different SR/SP levels, but the only the thing in common on failures is post SP1 installs. On the ones that I can uninstall SP1 I have to also uninstall TCP/IP and reboot, then install TCP/IP and all is back to normal. If you do not do this you are very screwed. The work around that seems to work is the editing of the Registry for the GC, and then adding the Exchange server to the Host file on the local machine. Outlook then connects to the Exchange server. The draw back appears is that from the time of clicking the Outlook icon to having access to Outlook is about 5 minutes. VERY slow. But after that Outlook behaves like a normal install. I has been two months of research and monitoring this group that got me this far. I thought that I was the only one having this trouble and then different threads started that have over tones of my trouble without being it directly. Thanks to all that have posted. I got more from the list then from Microsoft on this one..., as is usual.

But like you say, if you have an integrated SP1 in your XP installs, you've got problems. So, is XP SP1 your only problem? From what I can tell, the Outlook SPs tend to be a problem too. Thanks!

Windows XP SP1 Outlook 2000 (SR1 and up)/2002 (SR1 and up) Exchange server not inside a domain ISA server with/without FP1 I have fought this fight for some time. All is well until XP SP1 is put into the picture. Thanks to whoever sent in the information about the Reg hack for the GC (Q307926). It has finally fixed my access trouble. Everything was working fine until I installed SP1 so as far as I can tell this is the problem. My real trouble is that all the newer system have an integrated SP1 in the OS so removal is not an option.
