outlook 2003 connect to remote exchange server 'for 'public folders'

Hi,

i've a problem with Outlook 2003 on exchange 2003 Server (clustered)

I have a local server and lot of remote servers in the exchange organisation.

The first one in the organisation, and major one is connected by VPN to my site, but this VPN is very busy and often too busy...

Often, users have problem using outlook 2003 with ballon says it can't connect to remote server....

if i launch Outlook with RPCDIAG i can see that it's connection for public folders is for the remote server....  not the local one...

In exchange, all is configured in my mailbox  store to use my local public folders as associated public folder

the root (hierarchy) of public folders in the organisation is on the remote server


How can i force my users not to connect to remote server until the need of open a remote public folder ?

any idea ?

Have you replicated all of the public folders to the local server? That includes the system folders.
Outlook will only connect to a remote server if the folder that it wants is not on the local server.

ASKER

first Connection to the remote server is at the launch of outlook (as seen with rpcdiag) , without opening any public folder


No, i haven't replicas locally of 20 GB remote Public folders, and 98% of my users don't use / don't need  remote public folders
when debugging Exchange logs for public folders,
only found lot of :

system public folders are replicated,

but not users public folders.

My problem is that outlook connect only to remote server at oulook login,
not local one
While you don't have the public folders replicated to the local server, the behaviour cannot be controlled.
