SUMMARY

This article describes the Outlook 2002 issues that are fixed in the Outlook 2002 Post-Service Pack 2 (SP-2) Hotfix package that is dated July 18, 2003.

Issues That Are Fixed in the Hotfix Package

The following issue is fixed in this hotfix package but was not previously documented in a Microsoft Knowledge Base article.

  • Outlook Appears to Stop Responding When You Select an LDAP Server from the Address Book

    When you use your Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) address book server from the Address Book dialog box, Outlook 2002 may appear to stop responding. However, if you wait several minutes, you may receive the following error messages:

    Unable to contact the LDAP Server

    The operation failed

    Outlook 2002 supports the Virtual List Views (VLV) LDAP extension. This LDAP extension makes it possible for Outlook 2002 to present LDAP query results in a more efficient way for most LDAP server implementations. If the VLV support is used against an LDAP server with a huge number of entries such as several hundred thousand, this may cause Outlook to be non-responsive. The fix in this article makes it possible for you to turn off the VLV support for Outlook 2002.
