Wayne,

Thank you for the information. I re-installed Windows and re-installed
Office, but waited until after Notes and the connector were installed before
installing the SP 2 and all updates.

The computer seems to still be running correctly. So as long as you install
the connector before installing SP2 things seem to work ok.

I am now installating another computer with the same setup, but Windows XP
Media Center 2005. If anything changes I will post again.

Abel,

Just another quick update that could help...after a little more research, I
found a workstation around here that had Office 2003 SP2 loaded AND the
connector worked. BUT, that workstation did not have another update loaded
called
"Security Update for Outlook 2003 (KB892843)"
This update requires Office 2003 SP2 before it can be installed.

So, I am conjecturing SP2 may be okay (though I will need to do some testing
to make sure it is not causing some other issues, like duplicating meetings
when accepted by an invitation...we noticed this problem recently on a few
workstations.) But this "Security Update for Outlook 2003" might be blocking
the Connector from working.

I installed notes 6.5.1 client and configured it.
I installed Office 2003 and all updates (including sp2).
I installed the Microsoft Office Outlook Connector for IBM Lotus Domino.

When I launch Lotus Notes, I can access my mail without a any issues.
When I launch Microsoft Outlook 2003, I get the following message then
outlook closes.

"Unable to open your default e-mail folders. The server is not available.
Contact your administrator if this condition persists."

In the outlook log file

Any help would be greatly apreciated.
