Hi, Timothy:
We started seeing this problem ("requesting data from MS Exchange
server..." a/k/a "the RPC dialog box") when we were migrating from 5.5 to
E2k. When we went native, it has diminished however it would pop-up once
in a while for one whole set of users in one AG.
With PSS's help, we were able to determine that:
1. some GCs, while defined as GCs, may not be seen by E2k servers as
"advertised" GCs. See 247811.
2. Outlook versions differ in the manner that they connect to GCs
3. if you're getting event 2080, check out 316300
4. understand the concepts of a "working" GC and how roles are assigned
5. use tools:

Not a simple task as you can see and always worth a call to PSS.
Good luck!
