Figured I should let everyone know what the solution turned out to be (forehead slap!).
About a month after we first rolled out Office97, we found ourselves hammered by user complaints about the length of time it took Outlook to launch. A little research determined that reducing the number of protocols in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Exchange\Exchange Provider\Rpc_Binding_Order would speed things up tremendously. Our senior networking tech suggested that we change the value to read "ncalrpc,ncacn_np." I think you can see where this is going. We added "ncacn_ip_tcp" and everything's ducky again. _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
