Interesting... I can bring up the DL in outlook and read it by doing that, but it only shows the names in a read-only style view-there are no edit options available. It looks different than if I get properties on one of her other (smaller) DLs, which open in the editor. Almost looks like when someone is opening a list from the GAL but doesn't have edit permissions.
We haven't tried breaking up the list yet-I'm going to ask her to do that as I don't see another option. Looking now to see if the reg entry that 2003 can use (after the hotfix) is available to set on 2007.

Can you save part of the list using save as following the instructions in the article; http://support.microsoft.com/kb/238569/en-us.

There is not enough memory available on the Microsoft Exchange Server Have a user that is getting this error when they try to open a distribution list they created a last February which is within their contacts in their Server mailbox. Client is Outlook 2007 SP2 non-cached mode, server is Exchange 2007 SP1 RU9, all roles. Found this for Exchange 2003: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/894530 and we can open the DL in OWA. I used category view in Outlook to discover the DL is 29kb, which is almost double the size allowed. So, I'm thinking of telling this person they need to use OWA to break the list up into at least three separate groups of names. But, to prevent this from happening in the future, can I add the same reg entry that is listed in the above Exchange 2003 article to prevent the problem from re-occurring? I'm not seeing a 2007 version of this KB, so my thought is the reg entry might just need to be created? Thanks, -Bonnie
