Hi Rich,
 
Thanks for the info. It really does seem to be a confusing mixture of
issues. Because I can DoS an external Outlook client by installing an
Office SP on it, which will prevent it from accessing an internal
Exchange Server via an Exchange RPC publishing rule.

        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.

                Hi Richard,
                 
                I've always felt that WinXP SP1 was ill fated, and I
don't install it if I don't have to. 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!
                Tom
