We have Exchange 2007 SP1 and using Outlook 2007. Now it gets odd. We have multiple sites using one Exchange connected vie VLANS and T1 links. Now two sites apparently when they hit the address book or the TO in a new email show no names in the GAL. Have had them try Outlook in both cached and non cached mode. The GAl properties show them going to an active GC and this is not happening to all users on this server just this particular site. Any ideas? They can send and recieve email though. Thanks!
It looks like your users were given a referral for a domain controller other than where they were supposed to be going too. Also now with Outlook 2007 they will communicate with the closest cas server (with regards to location of their mbx server). It is also possible that they had problems connecting to the domain controller previously and had an issue and communicated with another domain controller. You will also have to take in to consideration if you changed any permissions. Clients will fail to resolve names due to permissions issue to the All Address Lists container and containers below that. Sending and receiving email is totally different as the email is going to and from the mailbox / hub server. When you are looking at the gal via the Address List Icon the Outlook client (in Online Mode) is communicating with the domain controller via NSPI. In cached mode the client will be using the locally downloaded OAB files. -- This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.
