W2K, Exch2K - I have a couple of users on OutlookXP and 1 on Outlook03 who get the 
requesting data message periodically. The rest of the campus (400 users +/-) are 
Outlook 2000 and they dont have this issue. We want to move to Outlook03 this Summer. 
Exchange, the DCs and the GCs are all in the same site as the users and its all 
100Mbps Switched. From a hardware standpoint and from checking with perfmon 
periodically, I am not overloading any of the servers. What other factors might lead 
to this? I have occaisionally had "Server service was unable to find a free connection 
x times in the last x seconds" in my event logs on the DCs/GCs but I have followed the 
recommended registry hacks. Also, those errors dont coincide timewise with the Users 
getting the requesting data message - dumbfounded...

Note that Outlook XP users will get their DC and GC services from a domain
controller referred to them by the Exchange server, so it will generally be
one that is in the same site as the Exchange server (unless things are
messed up).  You can change this behavior, but it's kind of a pain.  What is
the network like between the VPN point and Exchange and then the DCs?  Are
your DCs overloaded?

W2k sp2
E2k sp2
Clients are outlook xp

We are occasionally seeing the requesting data message, but it's not showing
it's requesting data from the exchange server - it's showing the name of a
domain controller.  The user was remote, but it has happened a couple of
times internally.  The server looks healthy as far as utilization, etc...

Any ideas?

Tara
