Windows 2003 server Domain user Roaming profile exchange server User gets error "the offline folder file cannot be configured c:\documents and settings\Local settings\application data\microsoft\outlook\outlook.ost How can I resolve this? Thanks

With roaming profiles I don't think I'd configure offline folders and cached mode. -- Ed Crowley MVP "There are seldom good technological solutions to behavioral problems." .

thanks for the reply... I don't have those options configured. It acts as if is looking for an .ost file

The only reason it would be looking for an OST file is if it had offline folders configured. -- Ed Crowley MVP "There are seldom good technological solutions to behavioral problems." .

Hi, This error may happens if the outlook.ost file is corrupted. Try to rename the file outlook.ost to outlook.old. Then open outlook, it will create a new outlook.ost file and retrieve the messages from exchange server.
