We used to do that years ago with earlier versions of OL and when most folks were on dial up. That kind of stuff could make a big difference. Now I haven't touched it in ages. -Original Message- From: James Wells [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, October 03, 2008 3:04 PM To: MS-Exch

This is Exchange 2003SP2, Outlook 2003. No clue here...there were a few complaints after a new VPN rollout, and customers CLAIMED they saw improvement after moving ip ahead of rpc in that registry key. Personally, I don't really think it makes a difference. But most folks think it's easier than

Change Outlook RPC bind order?

2008-10-03 Thread James Wells
