Yeah, RPC does lie occasionally... I think you are going to have to bite the bullet and reinstall from scratch. This looks like something has set itself in stone and not budging for no-one. Can't you fig up another box and swap it out to minimise the downtime/user's temper?

According to rpingc I have rcp problems on all machines:( But Files and settings are the same, also on the machine which has the connecting problems. Any more Ideas? It is hard to tell the user that we have to completely reinstall his machine because Outlook is not working anymore. regards Elmer > -----Original Message----- > From: Elmer St�wer > Sent: Tuesday, March 05, 2002 3:52 PM > To: Exchange Discussions > Subject: RE: Problem with Outlook after repairing windows > > > Ah, yes... deleting the profile was the one of the first things I did. > > Firing up Oulook, it complains that no service is configured > and asks me to do it in the 'system settings', 'mail'... > so I open > system settings --> > mail --> > add --> > Exchange Server > > then I enter the server name > the user name > press 'test name' (translated from german). > Error 1: Information Store not available > press 'ok' > Error 2: Exchange Adress Book is not able to connect to the > server.
