The only thing that I will say is Read and Follow the Disaster Recovery White Paper. If you haven't done that yet, go do it, then come back and ask. If you have read it, read it again. It outlines in EXACT detail every step you need to do in order to do a DR restore as you did (separate LAN).

Definitely Exchange Server. 512MB RAM is even overkill for a PDC. It just doesn't need it. I'd be lucky if I had more than 128mb in any of my Domain Controllers. Ben Winzenz, MCSE Network/Systems Administrator Peregrine Systems, Inc. -Original Message- From: Simon Curtiss

1. Have you rebooted the Exchange server since sp1? 2. What sp level is Outlook 2K? IIRC, updating it to SR-1a made some changes in the way it contacted an E2K server (may not be worded correctly, but I think the concept is correct). Other than that, DNS is what should be checked. Ben Winzenz,

Is it just me, or is that all kind of screwed up. How come you can access the Public Folder from OWA, but not from Outlook? That doesn't make any sense at all. You say you set up a second Public Folder Tree? You mean one other than the All Public Folders, or what? Be more specific please.

RE: OOA's sent to this list

2001-09-19 Thread Benjamin Winzenz
sent to this list That is correct. The public folder is NOT under All Public Folders. Per MS, MAPI clients cannot see anything but the All Public Folders. All other trees can be seen via other clients such as OWA. -Original Message- From: Benjamin Winzenz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent

Chris, Are you referring to Automatic Name Checking? In OL2K, it is part of it by default. Check under Tools, Options, E-mail Options (button), Advanced E-mail options (button), it's a check box on the bottom. But, it doesn't always work immediately. Ben Winzenz, MCSE Network/Systems
