Just to give you a comparison, I'm running a Dell PE 6600, 2 Gigs RAM, dual 1.4 GHz processors, 900 users spread over 3 Message Databases and two RAID arrays. We still get the flag. I get the flag when I'm sitting still too, no manual activity on the laptop that I'm using.
The flag is set by Outlook and is an indication of slow response by the Exchange server. The timeout for the flag can be set in the registry, or the flag can be turned off all together. The only thing I've found so far is that it's an incentive to performance tune your Exchange server and then look for other reasons for slow response time. The flag can also pop up when the workstation is doing some background work, like rendering a graphic and trying to update free/busy time on the Exchange server at the same time. It's an indication of performance problems, just not specific as to the cause.

Subject: Exchange 5.5 Server hammer-age. Until recently, our Exchange 5.5 Server has been running smoothly. Lately however, it has been running S..L..O..W on occasions. Our server is older (Dell 6300 with Dual 400 MHZ processors and 1.5 GB of memory..... 700 users). The only thing that's changed is we have recently started upgrading some of our NT 4.0 workstations to Windows XP workstations. Almost all those users receive the following message the first time they logon.... Outlook is retrieving data from the Microsoft Exchange Server "Exchange". You can cancel the request or minimize this message to the Windows taskbar until Outlook closes the message automatically. Some of them receive the message more frequently. Maybe the two issues aren't related, but I thought I'd start here, since it's the only thing that's changed recently. Is anybody else having issues using XP Professional with Exchange 5.5? Thanks.
