This being full disclosure and all...

I am interested in what exactly Outlook 2003 does that causes IIS so much issue? My gutt answers in ( )s.

Can this be replicated without Outlook 2003? ( probably )
Can this be done with or without a user account? ( users only )
Is this only a DOS for servers with OWA running? ( probably )
Is it just a DOS or a lurking exploitable condition? ( DOS )
Is it a persistent DOS against IIS and OWA or does a restart resolve it? ( restart )
Is it reliably reproducible or dependent on an obscure configuration option? ( reliable )


If you can provide these details then I think the list would be interested. Otherwise you may be better off going to one of the more Exchange / MS focused lists for bug sympathy/help.

From: Christopher F. Herot [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Maybe you should upgrade from Exchange 5.5 to 2000. We have had people
using Outlook 2003 client and OWA with Exchange 2000 for several months
without incident.

Although I'll recognize that an upgrade to E2K is prudent and may resolve
the issue, a problem in a product that is still in use should be recognized
and documented.

Although my company is interested in upgrading to both Outlook 2003 and
Exchange 2K+, the upgrade to Outlook 2003 will likely come first due to
complexities in the Exchange upgrade.  I think it's fair to test the
combination of Outlook 2003 and Exchange 5.5 OWA, and I'm interested to know
the results.

Does Microsoft have a Q article that acknowledges the issue?
