Re: Sync Outlook through VPN Issues

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

This is very interesting. I am back in the office now, so I will have to
rely on one of our employees in the field. This was not the solution for
the resort that I was staying at. They were using a 10.1.0.x scheme. It
may be the problem with the other hotels. It will be a couple of weeks till
I get this tested, but I will post the results here on this thread.

Thanks,
Dave
