RE: Outlook clients on laptops slowing down

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Hi Daniel

Outlook being slow is usually a DNS name resolution problem. Do desktop
users have any problems? Where are the laptop computers pointing to for
DNS? What is showing up in IPConfig /all on the client? What happens if
you put a HOSTS file on the client?
