Thanks Ed, I already tried the name thing, that's what put me on the path of the OL profile. We had a network change this weekend, and we were looking at that, but when I created a new Windows profile and setup a test OL client everything worked great, so much for a network issue! So our next step was to delete the OL profile and recreate it.
The 2K users don't get any message at all, OL will just hang, then respond after a short or long pause. It didn't matter if they were just changing from inbox to contacts, or even when composing a message and selecting an address, when they went to change the address book their session would hang. I have not gotten any complaints from our OL2K3 users about getting the message about waiting for the server to respond.

It could be that some profiles are still looking to the old server, likely for public folders for free-busy data. You might try an easier method before creating a new profile, instead refreshing it. Remove the last letter from the user's name, then click Check Names. That's usually worked for me.

So here is what we did: 1) Removed the first Ex2K3 Server per KB822931 2) Installed SP2 on our FE Server (owa use) 3) Installed SP2 on our BE Server 4) Installed "I Hate Spam" Our clients are a mix of OL2K/Win2K and OL2K3/WinXP, all of the WinXP users are working great, some, but not all, of our OL2K users are having problems where OL2K will hang, stop responding, not open stuff, etc... Right now our fix is to remove the exchange profile and then simply add it back in again, presto the problem goes away! Has anyone else seen this issue? Background, the 1st server has just been taking up space for the last few months, we just recently broke the free/busy replication and had it just running on our new server. We removed Ex2K3 from the server via the SetupCD and chose "remove". We are lost, just looking for advice.
