After exchange migration
Hi,
We currently have a w2k domain, that i have joined a w2k3 enterprise server as a member server. I have succesfully installed exchange into our organisation, and see both servers within ESM. I have moved a test mailbox and my own onto the new exchange (exchange enterpise 2003). I can send and receive emails fine. However whenever i first load up outlook, it says that it is retrieving information from server02(the new email server). It does this everytime i open up outlook. This takes around thirty seconds. It does not do this on our old exchange server 2000.
Is this normal? is it because the global catalog etc are on the old server and that it takes a little longer to authenticate?
Any ideas?
Many thanks
Paul

Hey patrick,
Yes ive tried another machine, same thing. Just applied the latest service pack, same thing. Interestingly enough, ive just moved a mailbox, who uses outlook 2003, and it starts up like a dream. Im going to upgrade my outlook and see if it does the same thing.
ill keep you posted
cheers

Hi,
Well i put 2003 on and it works fine, no problems or slowness what so ever. Bizare! As for GC yes we only hve one, and only have two servers. Is there a way of making the second server a GC without promoting it to a domain controller, as ive read that exchange is better on a member server rather than a domain controller.
cheers

Hey
Probably not a good idea to run exchange on a DC I agree if you only have the exchange server that you could promote, leave it as just exchange and upgrade to Outlook 2003 for the users who are still on 2002.

No Problem, good luck!
My be because you have cached mode on, try turning this off in the email set up in outlook.
