dear all, am a bit nervous posting this on account of going way OT as this post falls quite definitely under Outlook 2002 configuration, but there is obviously relation to AD so here goes ...
understanding the mechanisms of GC 'discovery' would it seem be very important to optimal deployment of outlook / exchange especially in remote office scenarios. the default outlook configuration seems to use the "view" of the AD topology in terms of DC's and GC's as is learnt by DSACCESS - and reads this from the server on which the outlook client is homed qu 1. why does it only maintain 10 of each ??? - this is a bit like that odd limitation of 25 DC addresses in the WINS (1C) record - and which 10 does it learn ??? qu 2 seems we can override this default behaviour with a registry value (closest GC) - does this reconfigure outlook to behave like the logon server discovery process and use native DNS lookups ??? hope the mail list can be of help on this one GT List info : http://www.activedir.org/mail_list.htm List FAQ : http://www.activedir.org/list_faq.htm List archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/activedir%40mail.activedir.org/
