Hi all.

I am chasing something that is causing Outlook to perform poorly. Can't quite figure 
it out.

The environment:
Exchange 2000 server. Outlook 2000.
AD Domain controllers are not accessible to the clients, only the Exchange server can 
talk to the domain controllers.
Exchange server is configured to not use RFR, all Outlooks are forced to use NSPI 
proxy.
All the client PCs have an entry in their HOSTS file for the name and IP address of 
the Exchange server.

When I create an Outlook profile from scratch and use it for the first time, Outlook 
starts immediately.
However all the subsequent start-ups are slow. I always get a pop-up saying that the 
Exchange server is not available, Retry or Work offline. After I hit Retry, it 
connects fine.

I have noticed that after the first connection, a key is created in the registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows Messaging 
Subsystem\Profiles\jkelly02\dca740c8c042101ab4b908002b2fe182

And it has string value 001e6602=exchange_server_name



Now I have another PC with an earlier version of Outlook 2000 installed on it. That PC 
does not experience such problems. It always connects on the first try. I also noticed 
that the dca740c8c042101ab4b908002b2fe182 key exists on that PC but does not have any 
values.


Is this an Outlook problem?

Thanks!

        Andrey Fyodorov
