How did you remove it? It looks to me that AD/GC still has a record of that server as an exchange server. Only when you get no response ( ie time lag on client side) from that server does it appear to go to the other server. I know you can fiddle a bit with your GC's to point it to preferred servers etc. Check TechNet if no joy, phone PPS.

First I'll give you the problem, then what info I hope to find. I removed a 2K DC w/ Exchange off the domain now the 2nd Exchange box is the only mail server, also another DC. When clients try to connect using Outlook 2K they have to wait for 15-20 secs then get the "no Exchange server found" error. When they click "retry" wham it's instantly there! Now my question is how does Outlook know where/look for the Exchange server? I thought I read it was DNS for 2K, WINS for 9x. Is it a AD property? Nothing has helped so far. Any Ideas.
