Migration, now MAC clients freeze

[Billy]

I run a Win2k network with Exchange 2000.

I installed a new Exchange server with the intention of
shutting down and completely removing the old exchange
server once the migration of data was complete.

The migration is complete, the pc clients are fine.

I have Mac 9.x clients running Outlook 2001, and they work
fine as long as I leave the old Exchange server running.
I've pointed them all at the new server, and even stopped
the smtp server on the old server. They're fine, as long
as the old server is available.

When I shut down the old server, the Mac clients freeze as
soon as they try to access a public folder. They can use
email all day fine, but when they try to access a public
folder, they freeze (unless the old server is on).

Any ideas?

first of all make sure you have moved all your resources, mailboxes, public
folders, etc. from your old server to new one. if you are sure about it,
then after taking your old server down, go into outlook 2001 for Mac, create
a new mail profile to connect to a mailbox on new exchange server, see if
this works for you or not. it may, as outlook actually stores info about
resources in mail profile, thus you may still have old server name there for
all these resources, like public folders.
