Have to wait to set up Email after creating new mailbox
I have several sites that have Exchange 2003 servers. On all but one, I can create a new user and email account on the Exchange server and then set up the user's Outlook profile immediately afterwards.
On the site in question, I pretty much have to wait 24 hours before the user will show up in the Global Address List so I can't do a check name to set up their email.
How can I fix this?

Simon,
Sounds like that issue to me also but my other site also uses cached mode.
I tried doing a send and receive, download address book and it doesn't pull the new address down. I checked on a system that doesn' have cached mode enabled and the new user DOES show up in the GAL. I'm not too sure I completely understand though. Why can't I do a "check name"? During the initial user setup.....

First thing is to see if you can log on as any user (yourself perhaps) and do the check name.

Check out thread: https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/20983743/Outlook-2003-can't-connect-to-Exchange-2003-Check-Name-Error.html which saves me from typing a chunk of stuff, which is always good for me.

Downloading the OAB is not enough. Exchange has to generate the OAB, which occurs once a day by default.

Congratulations!
You have some replication problems that you need to remedy.
I assume they're all in a single forest/single domain structure?
