Outlook 2003 and XP SP2

[Joe McCann]

I've recently taken a dummy machine and formatted it,
reinstalling XP SP2 (from a slipstreamed CD) and started
from scratch. The computer exists in a domain in an
organizational unit having applied to it a GPO preventing
the use of Windows Firewall. Everything works great, firewall
is administratively disabled, but...
Microsoft Outlook 2003 (SP1) seemingly can't connect to
the Exchange (2003) server. During the initial "add
account" wizard it resolves the user names to their "full
name" just fine (and netbios server name to FQDN), but the
next step returns the error:

"Unable to open your defualt e-mail folders."
This error can occur if you attempt to run Outlook from a Terminal
Server session when the OST file is in use by the console session.
To access this instance of Outlook, exit the current Terminal Server
session and start a new session by using the following Run command
(click Start, then click Run):
mstsc.exe /CONSOLE

The error seems to think that I'm trying to run Outlook
2003 from a terminal server session, which I am most
assuredly not.

Any ideas? Outlook 2003 sp1 works fine on all other
machines without xp sp2.

Thanks for the help!! You're great for replying.

What do you have set for the authentication type? I just reinstalled a
laptop with XP SP-2 and Office XP (for use in answering questions in news
groups - I much prefer Office 2003). If you set the authentication to None,
does it work?

| How do I change the authentication?
|
| I can't get into Outlook at all, so I do not have the opportunity to
| change any settings therein. When I configure the account settings
| using the "Mail" icon in COntrol Panel there is no explicit
| "authentication method" header, but I can change between
| NTLM/Kerberos, Kerbos, and NTLM. Those are the three options. I
| have tried all three and I get the same error.
|
| Any other ideas? Thanks for the help.. your input is much
| appreciated

the (insert latest virus name here) virus, all mail sent to my personal
account will be deleted without reading.

After searching google.groups.com and finding no answer, Joe McCann asked:

| How do I change the authentication?
|
| I can't get into Outlook at all, so I do not have the opportunity to
| change any settings therein. When I configure the account settings
| using the "Mail" icon in COntrol Panel there is no explicit
| "authentication method" header, but I can change between
| NTLM/Kerberos, Kerbos, and NTLM. Those are the three options. I
| have tried all three and I get the same error.
|
| Any other ideas? Thanks for the help.. your input is much
| appreciated

Can you ping the Exchange server by name from this box?

After searching google.groups.com and finding no answer, Joe McCann asked:

| Oh yes.
|
| Recall that this is a Microsoft Exchange enabled profile, so I can't
| create a new profile (in the same user account) using Exchange
| without first deleting the old one. When I try to "remove" the old
| profile using the MAIL icon in COntrol Panel(the one I created with
| the wizard the first time I ran Outlook 2003 with this user account
| on this machine) I get this error: "You cannot delete the account
| containing your mail, contacts and calendar. You will first need to
| create a new location for your personal data. Fromt he File menu,
| click Data File Management, and then click Add."
| So, if I do all of that, making a PST file (or is it OST now? I can't
| remember) Ic an get into outlook just fine. Then I try to add the
| exchange-enabled aspect again (which can be added without problem),
| but then I can't "expand" its folder list.
|
| It's as though I can't communicate with Exchange for some reason!?
| Only on this XP SP2 box... the rest of the network (production
| environment) is working just fine.
|
| Weird stuff.
|
| Any more ideas? Thanks in advance.
