Issues with offline outlook .ost files
I've been having some issues using roaming profiles and Outlook 2003.
Here is the error message I receive when logging on to another computer trying to access outlook for that user. The path for the file c:\documents and settings\johns.swwfuc.000\local settings\application data\microsoft\outlook\outlook.ost is not valid. I haven't seen that issue with everyone, but I can't figure out what's causing it. Outlook works fine when they are signed on to the machine they normall use, but if they log off and switch to another pc, there are problems accessing their outlook. I have roaming profiles set up for each user and everything else transfers without a problem. Anyone have any ideas??, I need help on this and am lost at the moment |

Issues with offline outlook .ost files
1) You are aware that the "local settings" folder in not included in the
roaming profile. (nor can it be included) 2) Ideally you would disabled cached mode & the use of pst files if this is an exchange shop. (reason why is that the ost & pst files are stored under the "local settings" directory structure) "UWRFREPORTER04" wrote in message ...

Issues with offline outlook .ost files
We got rid of our old pst files and moved to exchange 2003. I'm not sure
what type of file we use now, but it's stored on an exchange server. How do you disable cached mode with outlook 2003 or what do I need to do to prevent this problem? I want the mailbox to follow the user around regardless of where they log on. that's my goal.

Issues with offline outlook .ost files
You can use a GPO to disable the use of cached mode for *new* Outlook
profiles. For an existing profile, I just have users start Outlook, r-click on Outlook Today/Mailbox - username folder, properties, advanced button, advanced tab, and then uncheck the box about cached mode.
