RE: Dell laptop losing connectivity on network- SOLUTION!! the culprit.
I prefer to bang my head until I'm out of ideas. The times when I can't find a solution is when I feel like it was a waste of time, but then if I'd have given up I wouldn't have the satisfaction of all those (ok, maybe the few) EUREKA! moments. Bonnie, now I know what to check in the DHCP config. The ip address that was causing the problem was in an excluded range. The mystery lessens as to why it was acting like it was, but now the question is why did the laptop get that ip to begin with? It wasn't a newly created exclusion range.

There is nothing in the Server Event logs if that is where you are talking about. I'm not sure what to check on the DHCP config. There haven't been any changes made and everyone else is fine. Here's what I did: I deleted the ip entry for this computer in DHCP and DNS, put back to dynamic ip, and for the last 4 hours it has been steady as a rock using its new ip address. That was a lot of head banging for this. Go figure? We've had lots of issues like this in the past where we've gone as far as changing the mb. Maybe this is all we will need to do the next time.

MS has a patch now that turns most of it off for you, but I've found the reg entries to be the sure way to go if you want to be absolutely positive-can post if you need them.

Outlook 2007 won't quit
I've installed outlook 2007 (as part of Office 2007 Enterprise) on windows XP service pack 2 for two people in the last two days. When I try to close outlook it just won't go away. It works fine otherwise. I can minimize the outlook window, but I can't close or exit. I finally have to kill it through task manager. These are new installs on clean machines (formatted the drive during the install). After the install I did all the latest Microsoft patches through Microsoft update. I have not installed SP3. I've done this install many times before and I've got other people using the same config. It's only these two new installs that fail. I've repaired the pst file and it says it is clean.

Limitations of global distribution groups
I had a request to add a user whose account is in our main domain container, to a distribution group in a sub-container in this domain. I found I could not see the subdomain from the Add User window in his account's properties; nor could I see his account or the main container at all from Add Member in the properties of this global distribution group in the subcontainer. I tested a universal distribution group in that subcontainer, and in its Add Member was able to see the main container and add an account from that container. Since we are in mixed mode and thus cannot convert this global distribution group to universal, I think the only solution here is to make a new universal distribution group in that subcontainer, and add him and all the current members of the inaccessible-to-him global distribution group. Just wanted to confirm my understanding and make sure I'm not missing another solution.

RE: Permissions to Relay trouble
Does the recipient's mail domain have multiple MX's, and do the ones that go through always go through the same MX? I've seen intermittent/inconsistent symptoms like this where the recipient's domain has multiple mail servers, with inconsistent configurations. Whether you message gets delivered or bounced is basically a crapshoot, depending on which mail server you happen to hit.

Email address policies - ex2007
I have made some config changes to the 'Default Policy' on our exchange server, removing one email address scheme and setting another as the default. The two that I had in there before were @sd.univ.edu @ exchange.sd.univ.edu The first one was the default I made the second one the default and removed the first one along with the associated accepted domain. The policy seems to have changed the default on every account but when I look at the email addresses of each user some still have the one I removed. It looks like sometimes accounts aren't minding the policy. Is there a way to force the policy to be reapplied to mailboxes or to verify that it is indeed updating them? Thanks Ehren J.

RE: Email address policies - ex2007
The checkbox on the email addresses tab of each users account that says automatically update e-mail addresses based on e-mail address policy is checked. I'm curious also the 'default policy' in the exchange console is listed as having the lowest priority...which assumedly is fine since it's the ONLY policy but could that make a difference? Ehren J.

Being the default policy should be fine. You can run Get-EmailAddressPolicy | fl to get the details of the policy.

I believe that message is coming from the destination mail server, not yours. It usually indicates a configuration error on their end: Their mail server is not configured to accept mail for their own domain, so it thinks you are trying to relay though it.
