Hi Luke,
Stall tactic? can you please mention how to do this?
please note that my client's outlook is not exchange and just standalone
POP3 mail type...

Thanks

You can try the stall tactic.. but one thing I have come to learn about this
network since all this went down is that we have AD servers in remote
location, but AD sites and services is not implemented.

I have caught my Outlook client and many others stalling for a while as they
wait for a response from a far away DC probably for a GAL or group membership
or similar to this.

I dont know if its related or not, but check out your AD sites and where
your DC's are located. On the effected user workstation run the SET command
from a command prompt and look for the LOGONSERVER variable.. see if its
checking a local server or one in a remote site.

Of course you might have a properly configured AD and this is totally
irelevant to you.. but its all I can think might have caused the problem for
me :S

As mysteriously as it started, the problem went away.

I was informed by the user this morning that everything was back to normal..
so the moral of the story is that if this happens to you.. stall the user..
tell them you are waiting for a patch from MS and that should buy you enough
time for the problem to sort itself out.

Cheers!

Hi,
I have a user with Outlook 2007 connecting to an Exchange 2007 server with
a
PST file for storage (mail delivery is to the mailbox).

Anyway, if I set up a new profile with just the Exchange mailbox in it, I
can open the calendar fine. If I open the users PST file in that same
profile, I can click on the calendar in that set of folders and it will
also
open fine. However if I then try to go back into the mailbox calendar,
Outlook will freeze up and I have to end task.

Basically what I can determine is that there's no problem with the mailbox
calendar or the PST calendar, but when they are both in a single profile,
it
causes outlook to crash when looking at the mailbox calendar.

Had a look around on line and couldn't find anything.

Thanks in advance!

Okay, I found the resolution, this is something to do with To-Do bar.
Resolved by running the following command:

outlook /resettodobar

Yay!
