Hi Kerry. Thank you for your response. All my clients are pointing to
the SBS for DNS. I have the SBS as my DHCP server and it is behind a

Hi. I've got a new SBS network with 12 clients and the SBS server.
When I took on the customer, none of the service packs had been
installed on the SBS server. I applied them. Since then, every
computer and profile takes about 15 minutes to apply the computer
settings and apply the personal settings after logging in.

In addition, when I added a new user and try to get Outlook working
(on any of the computers) she cannot get a connection with the
Exchange Server. I'm told that Exchange has to be online. It is of
course, everybody else is having no problems connecting.

Any ideas?

Sounds like a DNS problem. Are the clients pointing to the SBS
server for DNS? Are you using the SBS server for DHCP or a router?
