Outlooks is Slow on ThinClients...

Thank you for your reply.

So maybe I was not clear with who's using what and how they are accessing
it.

We have a Terminal Server with Clients that are both Wyse ThinClients and
WinXP/Vista Clients
The Wyse Clients Connecting to the TS to use Outlook are Slow
The WinXP/Vista Clients connecting to the TS to use Outlook seems to be
fine.

So No one is running outlook locally, they are all using it on the Terminal
Server.

I have not Logged on locally to the Server to Check for issues, just the
ThinTerms and the WinXP Clients.

Thanks again.

If the thin clients are underpowered graphically, and you have IE7
installed, and you have ClearType rendering for HTML enabled, that could
cause some problems.

You can disable ClearType to help, or better (performance wise), switch
setting to compose and view in Plain Text. If that works, you know where
the bottleneck is and can decide how to handle it. Let us know how it goes.
