Global Address List Missing

I upgraded our Exchange 2000 server to Exchange 2003 SP2.  Ever since then
the Outlook clients are able to access the Global Address List.  Also, when I
try to create the Outlook profile it cannot resolve the account name or
server name.  The server name hasn't changed.  Any help would be appreciated.

- Did the default Global Address List get deleted? Check ESM or ADSIEdit if
it exists.  SP2 doesn't do this.
- Can you resolve names in OWA?
- Specific to particular version of Outlook clients or is it multiple
versions? On different client PCs? How many client PCs have you checked and
determined the GAL's missing?

The default Global Address List is there and can be seen from ESM.  If I use
OWA everything works fine.  I have tried from both Office XP and Office 2003.
It is almost like Outlook is looking at a different server to find this list
but the server name hasn't changed.  I also upgraded the server to Windows
2003 Release 2 SP1.  Would that do it?  My Domain Controllers are all Windows
2000 Servers with all updates applied.

Check which GC your exchange is pointing!
Can you resolve your GC from the clients?
check your DNS lookup by nslookup to your GC and the exchange
