FWIW (and certainly not to be argumentative) none of my Outlook 97 clients had any issues finding the new server when I moved Exchange to the new server using the ECMSM. I thought it was some really cool automagical $h!t. Perhaps I am easily impressed. I did leave the old server up for a few days so that people on travel would get back and reconnect. I don't know that I can come up with the version number of Outlook 97 that we used at that time though since everyone is now on Outlook 2000 but I know we were supposed to be at a very specific version of Outlook 97 which was decreed as "good" (in general not just for moving servers). Although I would be very surprised if every single machine was at that version.
