Does anyone knows what type of handshake happens during the intialization of the Outlook07? I have couple of users, using laptops that everytime they disconnect their PC from the LAN, next time they reconnect, Outlook shows a message "DISCONNECTED". It will last for several minutes until finally it is connected. What I noticed is that the size of the OST file have someting to do, because another user with 40MB always get connected and the one with 1.5GB OST file, is always having the problem.

Are they using Cached mode in Outlook 2007? If so, then the time to check and update the .ost becomes significant. Get them to use an Archive file instead and synch this separately. Hope this helps!

yes, the configuration on the Outlook is to use cache, but if I modify this setting, Outlook won't start. How to use an Archive file instead and synch separately? I did not get it. Thanks

Try sharing the folder it is contained in, with secure permissions of course, then Cache the file for offline use. This should work.
