windows 2000 will not work with exchange 2003

[jdahlheimer]

We have just migrated from a server 2000 with exchange 2003 to a server 2003 with exchange 2003. All the windows xp boxes work fine but a few of our boxes are still running windows 2000 and the outlook clients will not work on these. Basically when they start their clients it will just sit at a disconnected state. Send and recieve will just have the error server not available. I tried restarting computers and all the fun stuff. Then I removed there profile and put it back on then I got the error

The specified default store could not be opened. Please make sure you can access your default store and try again.

Then when I tried to open outlook I got

Unable to expand folder. The set of folders could not open. Server is not accessible.

I can ping the server from the client computer. Anyone run into this before. Thanks.

Are those workstations using the AD DNS server as their ONLY DNS server?

Well the old server was the dns server but we dcpromoed it and took it off so that might be the problem and has crossed my mind but why would the xp machines work and not the 2000 machines. So to get more to your question yes now they are only using the new machine as there AD/DNS.

Well we got it semi resolved. Was on the phone with a microsoft affiliate for 8 hours but we seemed to be up and running. Not quite sure what they did but I know for a while they made it worse. I think next time I am just going to hire someone to come in and migrate my servers . Thanks for your attempt.
