Cannot always link to Exchange server over VPN


Recommended Posts

Posted

I can establisg a VPN connection to my SBS 2003 server OK.

I can sync SQL Server and browse mapped network drives.

When I run Outlook 2003 it will not always connect to the exchange server.

Some times it does and sometimes it doesn't.

 

Anyone any Ideas.

 

Cheers

Dave

Are you using the Microsoft VPN client on the desktop or a 3rd party

solution? Reason I ask is that you might be having intermittent name

resolution errors if you use a split-brain dns configuration. This link

explains the issue and contains a solution.
