RE: Removing the first server in a site
If your users are opening the group calendars using the recent list in Outlook 2000 [1] (File-Open-Group Calendar Name) it'll fail. If the same user tries to type in the name of the mailbox again in the dialog that normally pops up (File-Open-Other User's Folder), it'll start working again. This happened to us recently. For some reason, Outlook must be retaining the server name information along with the mailbox name in that recent other user's folders [2] list. S./ [1] This may have been fixed with Outlook XP. [2] Couldn't find a better name for it. I wish it were that simple. It doesn't seem to matter how they attempt to access it they can't open it if the other server is down. -Original Message- From: Parker Race [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, August 20, 2001 11:58 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Removing the first server in a site What do you mean by accessing schedules? Do you mean free/busy info or do you mean opening somebody's calendar that resides in their mailbox? By schedules I meant opening calendars for users that are set up to be used as group schedules. There were no problems with accessing free/busy info that I'm aware of. -Original Message- From: Parker Race [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, August 20, 2001 8:07 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Removing the first server in a site I'm preparing to remove the first server in our Exchange site.
