Hi,
I have a Windows 2000 Server which has just been upgraded to 4gb,
since then, users have been getting the message that " Outlook is
reteriving data from {exchange Server name}".
I've got the users to empty down ther Inboxs and folders,empty there
recycle bins and I've compressed the mailboxes, but I still get the
same message.

I know with other versions of the Windows 2000 server (Advanced,
datacenter and Standard edition)

No, not Standard...

you can go into the Boot.ini and add
the /3GB switch, but is there something similar I can do with my
server version, or is there another way to stop this mesage from
appearing?


System Properties :-
Microsoft Windows 2000 5.00.2195 with Service Pack 4
Intel (r) Xeon CPU 2.40Ghz AT/AT Compatible
3,931,632 kb Ram

Many Thanks in advance for your help

Don't use the /3GB switch

What's your disk config?
Were users *not* experiencing any problems before you upgraded the RAM
What SP on Exchange?
What version & SP of Outlook, and are your users in cached mode?
