The message is a "feature" of Outlook XP. Previous versions of Outlook would just sit and wait for this data to be retrieved. XP notifies the users of these communications with the server. Typically though this message means there was an issue talking to the server. If this is frequent you will want to do a network trace to see where it is failing.

Forgot one step... After Advanced, you have to click the "Add-In Manager..." button. I have a similar setup here. Running WinXP/OfficeXP/NAV CE and already had the Server Scripting option turned off, and I still get that message occasionally. I believe it has something to do with OutlookXP. Jim Blunt -----Original Message----- From: Peter Cumming [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, February 19, 2002 5:41 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Why Outlook stating retrieving Data from Exchange Server abcde? We upgraded our PC's recently to Outlook 2002, Windows 2000, Office XP Professional with SP2. We still have Exchange 5.5 running on NT SP6a. Have McAfee loaded on this machine and probably on the Exchange Server as well. We now notice when we right click on a folder and select Properties, that the server pops up a message that it is retrieving information from Microsoft Exchange Server "abcdefg"................................... Now we can eliminate the above if I uncheck the Server Scripting box found under Outlook Tools, Options, Other, Advanced (I think)...uncheck Server Scripting. BUT I need this box checked since I am the admin and need to see the AGENTS tab on the folder. We use agents where I am. The everyday user does not need this box checked. I did make sure that we do not have MSN Messenger checked. Also ensured nothing else was running in background except Virus Scan. Have not shut off Virus Scan yet. This happens on multiple PC's of the Server Scriptins box is checked. This DID NOT occur until we moved from NT workstations to Win 2K with Office XP, and McAfee. Advice appreciated here via a posting and an email to Peter [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks so much. We are stumped. _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
