QUESTION POSED ON: 19 July 2006
I installed Outlook 2003 on Small Business Server and Exchange Server. I didn't know that I wasn't supposed to do this. Now I have uninstalled Outlook from the servers, but I'm having problems -- when I try to rebuild the default global address list, I get the error "MAPI or an unspecified service provider." I think my MAPI profile may be corrupted. How can I fix this?
