Our mail is setup on Exchange 5.5 currently. We're in the
process on moving to Exchange 2000. In the meantime,
users that have XP or Office XP on their machine receive
on a consistant basis a "Requesting Data From the Exchange
Server" message. This message locks up all other
applications until this proces is finish. Sometimes it
will lock up the users machine completely to the point
where the user has to power off. This message stay up for
10 seconds up to 60 seconds. It occurs four or five times
an hour. Is there a fix for this? Any assistance is
appreciated.

I have seen the same thing on my end. We just recently moved from Outlook
2000 to 2002/XP, and now are experiencing this annoying message too. Running
Office XP SP2 and Exchange 5.5 SP4.

Not to mention it now seems to take 3 to 5 times longer to open an office
document from email than it did before. Doing a test, I have seen where a PC
setup with the 2000 version of Office is virtually instant in opening a
small word doc from inside an email (through Outlook 2000). On an IDENTICAL
PC, just using Office XP instead, it can take anywhere from 5 to 20 seconds
to open the SAME word doc.

I would be interested in the response to this query myself. Is the newer
suit of Office XP that much more bloated than before. This is being run on a
P3-1000, 512MB of ram, Windows 2000 SP2.

Make sure your name resolution, i.e. DNS and WINS, is correct.

That won't speed up Outlook, though.

I just checked again, and except for the normal/everyday logs, there is
nothing out of the ordinary in there. Just the standard, storage limits
messages for a few users, some NAV stuff (scan starts/stops), and some login
(not primary account) messages.

Absolutely no errors of any kind. Any ideas of where to even start looking?
