[THIN] Re: Revisited: PST's crashing outlook

Fixed.  

Microsoft released Office 2003 Post SP1 hotfix rollup on March 30th.
It is only available by contacting PSS however (I have no idea why given
the age)
 
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;896253
 
Call to get it for free.  It fixes this issue.
 
On a side note, Office 2003 SP2 has been released internally at
Microsoft, so I'd imagine it will be available to public soon.

                I've read a BUNCH of posts of users who have the problem
I do.  Outlook 2003 on 2003 Server crashing with a PST file from
mspst32.dll.  Many of them have said they contacted MS and MS said that
Outlook 2003 and a PST will crash on a server with 4gb of RAM or more.
They told these people to reduce the RAM or wait for a Hotfix.

                Some suggested a PAE problem.  I don't use /PAE so I
tried /NOPAE and have the same result. 

                Someone suggested a PAE hotfix, but the user replied to
them saying they had 2003 SP1 so the hotfix was included in SP1.


                One person said they have 4 servers with 4gb of RAM, 2
Compaq and 2 Dell, and that they only had the problem on the Dell
servers.  I'm not running OpenManage on my Dell servers which are
effected.
                
                Does anyone with a 2003 Server and 4GB of RAM and
Outlook 2003 want to test out working with PSTs and let me know the
results?
