We are using Microsoft Exchange in our enterprise for e-mail with Outlook being the e-mail client. Through out the enterprise all desktops are running Office XP on Windows 2K machines. Recently some admin had the bright idea of upgrading to Outlook 2003 system wide, and the roll out went very smoothly. However on a few machines the “Outlook Today” feature of Outlook does not function at all.
When you click on the mailbox name, the way Microsoft says you open Outlook Today, you get the default security settings instead. Now if we completely remove all office components and reinstall first the Office XP apps then the Outlook 2003 client from CDs, everything is ducky. But this is a long and drawn out process and is not practical for an environment this size. Surely there is a way to fix this problem that does not involve clearing the software from all of these machines and starting over.
Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated.
