Hello does any one knows how to implement Outlook 2003 with 2X server? This is how I am doing it know: I am using 2x ApplicationServer on a workgroup server. The user data is on a domain server. I am planning to connect the 2X server to the domain lateron. I have publisched a batch called Outlookstarter.bat Only Bob can use this Outlook and I have enabled the option in 2X, only one instance can be started at the time. In the batch I do the following: net use U: /d net use U: \\mainserver\user$\Bob password /user:bob ping 127.0.0.1 rem pin-g is to build a delay start "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\Outlook.exe" Before I started Outlook the first time with the 2X client I deleted the Outlook.pst on C:\... of the TS server. I then chose the Outlook.pst from U:\ when prompted for a pst-file. The above works, however if somehow the U: is not connected in time, Outlook won't start at all. And if Bob has Outlook open at the PC at work, and he starts Outlook 2X at home, it will scr***-up everything and I have to reset the server to get Outlook working again... Hence my question does anyone have a 100% working solution for Outlook 2003 with 2X? TIA, Jem.
Hi, Outlook 2003 works perfectly fine with 2X AppSRV. Make your 2X Terminal Server a member of the domain. Publish outlook and filter if necessary. Its that simple. If the user data is in the domain server and the 2X terminal server is a workgroup, there must be some access problem. Tom
Hi Tom, this is a testserver. I hate connecting test servers to the domain... We recently had a problem with our userdrive, the outlook.pst deferred back to it's original location in c:\documents and settings\bob\... Adding the TS to my domain wouldn't have solved this though... :cry: I now have made a policy so the Outlook.pst will ALWAYS be put on the U: (the user's userfolder). It's a local policy know, but after connecting to the domain, I will convert it to group policy. One thing I found out that saving an attachment is NOT easy to explain to the user, espicially if he used to temporarily save attachments to his desktop or drive d:, I think I am gonna direct him to save it to his user folder. BTW another problem arise with attachments. I installed Acrobat reader 8.1.2 2 days ago. Everything worked fine. Now PDF-attachments are not recognized anymore, I repaired AR, did a system restore for 3 days back, but to no avail... I am buffed :shock: .
Hi, where is this U: user's folder? If this U: folder unit has Adobe installed, the application will be recognized. Tom
