He gets the message when accessing OWA from both work and home. - I have found various articles that talk about permissions on the WinNT and exchsrvr\* directories but the permissions appear to be ok.

RE: 'Requesting Data' again...
Added more memory :-) Go through the counters though. What was my problem may not be your problem. Our server supports roughly 180 mailboxes, dual P2 2.0Ghz Xeon, was 1gb ram, W2K standard, E2K Ent. We added another 512mb of memory and it has been happy ever since. But like I said, that was us. Your problem may be something else entirely. That is why I urge you to go through that document. It will help you determine exactly where the problem is. The other thing that you have to be careful of is you don't really want to get above 1.5gb or at a max 2gb of memory in standard (running exchange, at least). You'll start to get 9582 virtual memory errors.

A whole bunch would mean it is too much :) Seriously, I guess you could monitor it during a normal morning and see what the average is. Then as the users start using the server more heavily and receiving the waiting for data message - check the number of RPC requests then.

We added another 512mb of memory and it has been happy ever since. But like I said, that was us. Your problem may be something else entirely. That is why I urge you to go through that document. It will help you determine exactly where the problem is. The other thing that you have to be careful of is you don't really want to get above 1.5gb or at a max 2gb of memory in standard (running exchange, at least). You'll start to get 9582 virtual memory errors.

Three mail servers placed geographically, for all outbound and inbound mails we have single point of entry. Country-B Existing Environment: Lotus Notes. I am planning to install exchange 2000 in Country-B within the same existing w2k and e2k environment, all outbound mails will use there Internet Access, for inbound I will use my SMTP placed in Country-A. I will add their old domain as a second domain in Country-A Exchange server and create their mailboxes so that they can receive mails from old domain.
