Hi Colin

Dont follow the article. Microsoft recommend that you don't do this.. my
advise from someone inside MS.

Windows 2003 uses autosite coverage.

What do you need to do? Let's have some insite.

We want to force the machines to use the local Global Catalogue Server as
they are hanging when contecting to Our remote Exchange Server first thing in
the morning. This is a hassle as it requires users to hit the retry button in
order to get their Outlook clients to open. The reg key solves the problem
when applied locally to my machine but we are pondering over the ways in
which to roll it out en mass.
Regards.

which version's of outlook are we talking about? also you state remote
exchange server is it behind a firewall?

It's a broad mix of 2000 and 2003 all latest service packs and hotfixes. Our
"Remote Exchange 2003 Server" is Enterprise on another subnet of our 3 site,
single Domain.
 
there seems to be another problem which is slowing your clients down. The GC
doesn't tell your clients where the exchange server is. Outlook dependent on
verison will use the GC for address lookups (which is why asked which version
of outlook your were using). Check out the DNS in use by your clients also
the suffix information incorrectly configured DNS settings could be the
problem. How many clients are we talking about? and how fast is the link
between sites? Outlook requires about 34k per user (this also depends on
exchange version and outlook version).

Outlook will use RPC calls to connect to the exchange server, if its slow
during this period then the local redirector is having a problem find the
server or the link is slow. therefore back to the above....
