Hello all, could you please help me ?

All of the workstations (Win2K Pro) of the network uses roaming
profiles with great success, except for Outlook 2000 (used with an
Exchange 2003 server).

The outlook configuration seems to be not saved in the roaming
profiles => So when I try to run Outlook on a different workstation
with a roaming profile, it is not configured properly (exchange
account is not listed, for example).

I have found a lot of informations about problems with outlook and
roaming profiles, but it's difficult for me to "select" correct
informations and apply them to my situation...

Thank you in advance,

Denis

PS : sorry for my bad english

Your English is fine.
The Outlook profile should roam just as everything else does.
Is Outlook set up in corporate/workgroup mode on all PCs? Is it (or, is
Office) set up/installed to run *all* components from the local machine?
Any errors in the event logs about profiles? (userenv is the usual source)

Note that Outlook 2000 is old & isn't supported now - Outlook 2003 would
make your life a lot easier in many ways. And same advice applies (install
Office/Outlook with a full/custom install so all components are
installed/run from local machine)
