Thanks for everyone’s replies. The problem was that I was an idiot and did not take the correct steps I had to do in order to failover back from my standby to my active. For whatever reason, Outlook XP ppl didn’t care – it was only the Outlook 2K3 ppl that couldn’t re-connect. Weird…

Are you connecting with cache exchange mode?
If so then try non-cache exchange mode.

I would go looking in AD. It seems to me that the spare Exchange server you brought online communicated with Active Directory and updated some objects. You’ll probably find that some exchange-related AD objects are pointing to the “spare” server.
