John, you don't give any indication that the clients fail to connect and/or timeout.
I use Outlook XP at home to my 5.5 boxes at work via ISDN. Routing is from an 801 at home to a 3640 at work and I get requesting data (rd) all the time. Nothing serious but just latency - usually only for a few seconds. All pings and tracerts show fine, I can VNC to any box on my wires throughout the UK without problem but Outlook still gives me an rd box quite frequently. I use Outlook XP at work and very, very occasionally get an rd though this is exception rather than norm (hi Norm!). This is just a feature of Outlook XP and may be exaggerating the issue. I would say this is network traffic/DC loaded/client config/bad cat5 more than anything else - not a fault with E2K. It may be prudent to investigate local traffic or client configs to see if they have any bearing on your issue.

Is your Exchange server behind a firewall or VPN? Do you have a GC close to the clients? Have you done a netmon trace to see at what point the problem is occurring?

All users are using OLK2002. I have tried everything I know. To no avail. I have also tried to reset the OLK clients, still an issues. It's odd it seams to rotate, one day a user will work fine and then not, then a nother user will expirence the same isse. I would think it's a load issue, but w/ only 25 users on this ssytem, there is no way. Even checked w Prof monitor. 1GB mem, dual 550 Procs, 36 GB of free space So I am thinking it's an issue with E2K DC communication. So my fix is to promote the E2K Server to a DC w/ a GC on it. Any reason I should not?
