I don't do this off-list. You have something to say to me, you can say it in front of the other thousands of people here.
Had you really read the FAQ you should have cited your resource. Had you really read the FAQ you would already know what is required to get an answer to your question. You did not provide that info. I routinely post questions saying that so and so told me this, I want others to confirm or deny. I see nothing wrong with that and if you or your colleague do, you need to hop over to http://www/getabackbone.com. -----Original Message----- From: Sakti Chakravarty [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, January 16, 2002 4:43 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: changing Outlook client mail profile Thankyou for your confirmation. Yes, so some of us out here are misinformed, that's why we come to this list. My colleague may be misinformed, but I do not subscribe to the "I am right and you are wrong" school of thought. There's a little thing called RESPECT, which goes a long way when you apply it in the workplace. Unlike you, I respect my colleagues and their opinions, so I am not going to write to the list and say "hey, I think my colleague is wrong but can you confirm ...". Indeed I have performed migrations where there were no problems with clients reconnecting, but I just wanted to check! Sorry if my post ticked you off, but I'm not responsible for the way you react, and I cannot know everything you require to answer a question without being rude. -----Original Message----- From: Hunter, Lori [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 17, 2002 1:15 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: changing Outlook client mail profile I have never had trouble with OL97 or OL98 reconnecting to the server after a move. Perhaps Sakti just has a bad setup, or bad colleagues. At a minimum they are clearly misinformed. Now to your response. You never once said that a colleague had planted this erroneous information in your head did you? Did you say that you've got Ed's Move Server method in hand? Er, no. You also said you were about to go hacking registries which as those of us who have actually read the FAQ already know, is completely unnecesary. But go right ahead anyway, please, don't, stop. -----Original Message----- From: Smith, Ronni [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, January 15, 2002 6:50 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: changing Outlook client mail profile FWIW (and certainly not to be argumentative) none of my Outlook 97 clients had any issues finding the new server when I moved Exchange to the new server using the ECMSM. I thought it was some really cool automagical $h!t. Perhaps I am easily impressed. I did leave the old server up for a few days so that people on travel would get back and reconnect. I don't know that I can come up with the version number of Outlook 97 that we used at that time though since everyone is now on Outlook 2000 but I know we were supposed to be at a very specific version of Outlook 97 which was decreed as "good" (in general not just for moving servers). Although I would be very surprised if every single machine was at that version.
