Outlook is horribly slow to open, but once it does open, there are no issues. I suspect a similar issue, but have not had a chance to really troubleshoot it. I do know that it does not seem to occur on Vista 32bit and XP. I installed Office SP2 which did not resolve the issue. Google shows many hits on similar issues. Sorry to not be able to give better input, but just chiming in that there is obviously an issue that needs to be fixed. Bob Fronk From: Todd Arnett [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, April 30, 2009 11:22 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Outlook 2007/Vista/ Exchange 2003/RPC Connection Issues For the past few weeks, we've had a problem that the two of us in the office using Vista were unable to access Exchange over the VPN server. This was a new development we've been running vista for over a year now. Outlook would just hang for hours even. Occasionally I would get "Microsoft exchange server is unavailable". After doing some troubleshooting we finally figured out the Outlook was trying to communicate on port 135 (RPC Endpoint Mapper) to our DCs. We had to make firewall changes to allow communication from our VPN server to our DCs on port 135.The thing that has left us scratching our head is why is it just these Vista clients? We have probably 30-40 other users running Office 2007 and they have no issues, and why did it work all that time before? It only seemed to be the vista clients. We do not use RPC over HTTP. Any thoughts? Thanks, Todd ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
