This accepted solution does nothing to explain why there are multiple connections to mail servers and domain controllers with different values. The fact that there are multiple connections is rather obvious. I can't see any useful information in that solution.

Hi there,<br />
When I do a ctrl-right click outlook 2007, I could bring up the connection status window. &nbsp;And I almost always see 3-4 connection to my local domain controller (it's also a global catelog server). &nbsp;Is this normal?<br />
If so, what are those connections for?<br />
<br />
From the domain controller's netstat result, I see a bunch of connection (3-4 for each client machine) through TCP port 1675. &nbsp;Again, is this kind of traffic expected with Outlook 2007?<br />
<br />
We are running Exchange 2003 Enterprise (SP2) on Windows 2003 Enterprise server (SP1, clustered) within AD 2003. <br />
<br />
Thanks in advance for any help and leads.<br />

Outlook 2007 connection status data

Microsoft Outlook is a personal information manager from Microsoft, available as a part of the Microsoft Office suite. Although often used mainly as an email application, it also includes a calendar, task manager, contact manager, note-taker, journal, and web browser.

Outlook

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
