The only place I've found to 'remove' that feature is while building a custom installation of OfficeXP. Using the Custom Installation Wizard included with the OfficeXP Resource Kit, you can change the Office User Settings (page 9 of 15). The setting is under the "Microsoft Outlook 2002" -- "Miscellaneous" -- "Exchange Settings" grouping, and is called "Disable cancelable RPC progress dialog." You may also be able to do this using the Custom Maintenance Wizard. Both of these options will only work if you are using an administrative installation point instead of installing from CD's. To remove it after the fact, there may be a registry modification; I haven't found it in the KB. For more information on the ORK see www.microsoft.com/office/ork
Please be aware though, this feature is meant to alleviate the appearance of Outlook hanging/freezing when a user requests data (open message, switch views, open attachment, etc.). Rather than just freezing the interface (as in previous versions), it gives you the 'Requesting Data' dialog to provide an opportunity to cancel the process or at least see that work is being done. It's nothing more than that. There isn't a problem to diagnose and fix. I personally like it and am leaving it enabled in our deployment. --Kenneth Walden -----Original Message----- From: Finch Brett [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, February 27, 2002 1:39 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: OutlookXP and Exchange 5.5 I've tried everything to get rid of that annoying "feature" that seems to take a OLXP client offline all the time. I tried to disable offline use, tried disabling AV email scanning, I am at a loss how I can get rid of this stupid message from the OLXP client "Requesting data from MS Exchange Server" every time a user wants to open an attachment or a Public Folder. Exchange 5.5 SPK4 on NT4 SPK6a with OutlookXP (SPK1) client. I've searched here and at MS's knowledge base, what am I missing? I truly doubt it is a network issue, switched 100MB to the desktop, and Fast Ethernet channels via switch to the server, load in minimal as well. I'm convinced it is the client... Any idea's anyone? _________________________________________________________________ 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] _________________________________________________________________ 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]
