Exchange Server - Sync Issues - Server Failures Outlook/Exchange Problems

Asked By S.J. Stigant

I am totally flummoxed here.

We are running Small Business Server 2003 (with the built in Exchange).  Our
ten client machines are running Outlook 2003 on Cached Exchanged Mode.  In
the past couple of days, all ten employees have started losing emails.  That
is, a person sends them an email, but the Outlook client never receives it.

I enabled Message Tracking in Exchange, and the Message Tracking Center says
that the email was correctly delivered to the local box.  When I check
Outlook, the message is not there, but there is a record of it in the Folder
List under Sync Issues-> Server Failures.  Unfortunately, you cannot click on
the message there and view it.

So, I tried using scanost.exe on the client computer.  I tried deleting the
.ost file and having Outlook recreate it.  I turned off Cached Exchange Mode.
And I still cannot actually open the messages.  So, I think the message hit
our exchange system (because I see it in the Server Failures folder), but
there is no way I can actually open the message itself.

Our Outlook Web Access is not working either, so I cannot double-check there.

I am stumped, and we are losing emails right and left.  Any more thoughts
would be greatly appreciated.

Cached mode.


Turn off cached mode and see if the message appears.  If you work online you
do not need to synchronize so there ishould be no failures of that sort.

SBS 2008, Exchange 2007 & Outlook 2007. . . Exchange Server Sorry for the cross-posting, but I am hoping someone out there will have an answer for me. Last weekend, I completed a migration from a 2003 SBS to a 2008 SBS. A few glitches here & there, but one of the major problems is users at a remote office cannot get their email now using Outlook 2007. It worked fine with Exchange 2003, but not Exchange 2007 - why? I have been on the Technet forums & last I was any other kind of smart phones have no problems, either. When users try to open Outlook, they are prompted for a username & password. I entered domain \ username & then was prompted, twice what do I need to get this to work?!?!?

Are they using Outlook Anywhere? If they put your autodiscover URL into a browser do they get the expected yes, that is the response they get. As far as the test exchange site, the outlook anywhere failed, autodiscover passed, pretty much like the messages included in my original post. [ snip
WHy doesn't Outlook Live sync the calendar like it does in our own Exchange server Exchange Server Good afternoon, We are currently migrating our users from our onsite EX2007 server to hosted Exchange (Outlook Live / Live@Edu). One thing that is different with Exchange Live over Outlook 2007 is that calendars are not synced immediately like they are in the EX2007 server synced with the server immediately. It usually happens when the next time comes around for Outlook to sync with the server, which I think happens every 10 minutes or so. But if you log on to the Outlook Live website and use Outlook Web App to change the calendar, it syncs the changes immediately. This is a fairly people working on the same calendar they will not get the same version as what Outlook has locally on the computer until it syncs back with the server. There are commercial third party products that claim they can make Outlook sync immediatley, not with Outlook Live but with their own system, but the Vueminder program
itself, but I have not figured out how to do this. I have searched through Outlook 2007 Inside Out, the integrated help in Outlook 2007, and online help, but I have not found this issue addressed.

Exchange Admin Discussions Outlook (1) Database (1) Mailboxes (1) Mailbbox (1) Mounts (1) Days (1) MCSE (1) OST (1) Sounds like a synchronization problem between Outlook (working in cached mode) and the Exchange server. Removing messages from a mailbox will certainly mailbox, provided the deletions are made on the server and not confined to the local OST file on the client. - -- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP non cached mode in outlook. thank you for the reply though. I have not seen a problem with the misstating although that was not uncommon in Exchange 5.5 and 2000 (and maybe in early days of 2003). If you suspect there is such a problem with the mailbox then moving
