Actually, the trouble began when I applied the hotfixes listed below. Upon further conversation, I removed these hot fixes. And now, the problems I am seeing are: When outlook is launched, AFTER it looks like it is ready to go, (You can see your folders and email etc.) it freezes for approx 60 seconds and then seems to work fine. This occurs on ALL workstations. But oddly enough, Web Outlook works just fine.
Some users, when they create a new email, or reply to an email, will experience a wait of up to a minute before the message is actually sent. The message will stay on their screen and basically lock up outlook until it sends. Obviously, this is very frustration, and I am not sure what to do next... Any help would be appreciated -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- - - --------------------------------------------------------------- Title: Buffer Overrun In HTML Converter Could Allow Code Execution (823559) Date: 09 July 2003 Software: Microsoft(r) Windows (r) 98 Microsoft Windows 98 Second Edition Microsoft Windows Me Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 Terminal Services Edition Microsoft Windows 2000 Microsoft Windows XP Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Impact: Allow an attacker to execute code of their choice Max Risk: Critical Bulletin: MS03-023 Microsoft encourages customers to review the Security Bulletins at: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS03-023.asp http://www.microsoft.com/security/security_bulletins/ms03-023.asp - - --------------------------------------------------------------- - - - --------------------------------------------------------------- Title: Flaw in Windows Message Handling through Utility Manager Could Enable Privilege Elevation (822679) Date: 09 July 2003 Software: Microsoft(r) Windows (r) 2000 Impact: Privilege Elevation Max Risk: Important Bulletin: MS03-025 Microsoft encourages customers to review the Security Bulletins at: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS03-025.asp http://www.microsoft.com/security/security_bulletins/ms03-025.asp - - - --------------------------------------------------------------- Title: Buffer Overrun in Windows Could Lead to Data Corruption (817606) Date: 09 July 2003 Software: - Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0 - Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0, Terminal Server Edition - Microsoft Windows 2000 - Windows XP Professional Impact: Allow an attacker to execute code of their choice Max Risk: Important Bulletin: MS03-024 Microsoft encourages customers to review the Security Bulletins at: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS03- 024.asp http://www.microsoft.com/security/security_bulletins/ms03-024.asp - - ----------------------------------------------------------------- John Parker, MCSE IS Admin.
