Hi, We have two boxes of Exchange 2k installed on Win2K . Both are domain controllers in mixed mode with an NT 4 SP6a domain controller.
I installed Instant Messenger service on both the Exchange servers and installed IM clients on all the client machines. The problem is while it works fine for few of the users (i.e. they are able to send and receive instant messages ) however there are other users on the same configuration it doesn't work (i.e. they are not able to receive messages from others, though they are able to send to those people who works fine) . Those who have problem for them even the status of the other users doesn't change in their IM. They are all able to log-in fine though. I'm totally stuck now as I couldn't find any documentation on Microsoft's website. PLEASE some one help me . Any direction towards technicality of Exchange IM will help including directing me to some where I find some advance level technical information on Exchange IM as to where it keeps the user's logged-in information and how the server is routing messages . I really will appreciate ANY HELP .......PLEASE Thanks With Regards, Kishore Gagrani Director- Information Technology PRICE Systems,L.L.C.

Not just connecting to a mail server, but also to file servers. It's all down to DNS, until we resolved the issue, we could connect to anything using the IP address, however, using the name alone didn't work. Either you have a DNS problem, DNS on the XP client is incorrectly configured, or the correct DNS settings are not filtering through your ISA server..... E2K loves DNS, we can't bodge through on WINS alone anymore :-) Davy -----Original Message----- From: Andrey Fyodorov [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 18 September 2002 14:52 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Outlook 2000 - Exchange 2000 - VPN problem I have seen weird behavior on Win98/Outlook 2000 clients where they would not connect to Exchange server unless DNS was configured correctly on those Win98 machines. -----Original Message----- From: Guy Swartwood [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, September 17, 2002 12:18 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Outlook 2000 - Exchange 2000 - VPN problem My setup: Single box / Win2k Server (PDC), Exchange 2000, ISA and RAS. All my users VPN into this box to connect Outlook 2000 to Exchange. Currently all my users connect fine through VPN. My XP users get server unavailable when they start Outlook. They can press retry and sometimes after pressing it many times, it will actually connect. My Win9x users do not have this problem. They press retry once and it is connected. My Win2k users usually don't have the XP problem, they usually only have the press the retry once. Any Ideas?
