Force outlook to go to AD to get Exchange server name

I've this quesitons about Microsoft Outlook 2000/2003
clients (MAPI) for Exchange 2000 and 2003 servers.

How can I force the Outlook clients to go to AD to find
out which exchange server is holding the mailbox of the
user? I want to do that every time clients starts or
refresh it if it is already running. This way I don't
have to reconfigure (or "Check Name") them whenever I
move mailbox of the user from one exchange server to
another in the organization.

Thanks

You shouldn't have to do that. When Outlook connects, it should get the Home
Server attribute from AD via the nearest Global Catalog server. If that
isn't happening, you may want to make sure you have enought GCs to service
the number of MAPI clients.
