Hello everyone,
I am running Exchange 2003 in a 2003 domain with roaming profiles, all
workstations have Office
2003 and XP Pro. I have just installed SP2 on one station and I notice
something weird:
1. I get an OST file missing error when I launch Outlook
2. on send/receive, it says it cannot connect to the exchange server or a pop3
account which is
set up (btw, all email kept in the exchange account so there is no missing pst
problem
vis-à-vis roaming profiles)
3. if I go in to the tools and check out the email account settings, I
“test” the pop
account and it works fine; I also check the exchange account setting and I
make sure that cached
mode is not checked (again for the sake of roaming profiles). I don’t
understand how it can
connect fine on the test but not on send/receive
As a preface to this problem, we have been having internet connectivity issues
all week where the
connection goes up and down every other second all day. It’s definitely
a problem in our
network which I am in the process of isolating (may be a bad switch or a
Symantec firewall
appliance that has been in this office since before me and may have gone bad).
I also added
Outlook as an exception to the SP2 firewall.
Any ideas?
Thanks
JC
