Network? Antivirus software? Name resolution? Build a clean W2K machine with just Outlook installed and see what happens.
-----Original Message----- From: John Parker [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 11 July 2003 14:42 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Recipient update service Actually, the trouble began when I applied the hotfixes listed below. Upon further conversation, I removed these hot fixes. And now, the problems I am seeing are: When outlook is launched, AFTER it looks like it is ready to go, (You can see your folders and email etc.) it freezes for approx 60 seconds and then seems to work fine. This occurs on ALL workstations. But oddly enough, Web Outlook works just fine. Some users, when they create a new email, or reply to an email, will experience a wait of up to a minute before the message is actually sent. The message will stay on their screen and basically lock up outlook until it sends. Obviously, this is very frustration, and I am not sure what to do next...
