Our ms exchange 2000 server here runs on a Windows 2000 DNS server (small business server 2000). My boss has a laptop which has Win XP Pro and uses outlook 2003 which was configured fairley easily to send/receive emails across our LAN via the exchange server. This, he has no problem.
Now, he also has another laptop at home that has Win XP Home and outlook 2003. He wants to be able to access his emails from our exchange server while at home. I have created a dial-up account, and then a vpn connection that connected well for the first few minutes, but it took ages for it to download emails. After I few minutes when i close and open outlook i cannot access his mailbox again. I get this msg when i click on his mailbox: ” The specified default store could not be opened. Make sure you access your default store and try again.”
1. How do i rectify that problem? Is it because his home laptop is Win XP home edition which does not have domain capabilities?
2. After that is resloved, how can i configure it so that it does not take ages to synchronize or download his emails from the exchange server?
Pls, I need help as soon as possible. Been taking so long to rectify this issue.
Cheers….Clive
