Offline file not creating
 

At my work I am running Exchange 2000 server. I am not able to configure
Outlook 2003 to connect to the exch server.
I have deleted all profiles, then recreated a profile for exchange only (the
check name finds me just fine). But when I launch outlook I get the following
msg: "Unable to open your default email folders. You must connect to the MS
exchange server using your current profile before synchronizing ...".
I can ping the server.
Before I deleted all profiles I also tried renaming the ost file to recreate
the offline folder, but that did not help.
