QUESTION POSED ON: 25 June 2008
Our office consists of Windows 2000 Server SP4, Windows XP SP2, Vista machines and versions of Microsoft Outlook from Outlook 2000 to 2007. It is my understanding that Exchange Server cached mode creates a copy of the user's Outlook profile on the client PC -- as an .OST file -- and then synchronizes the two when connected.
If our users log into a PC that is not their main PC, their email disappears from their inboxes. I thought that if a user deletes email from a 'remote' PC, then that email will be deleted when the user opens Microsoft Outlook on their 'main' PC. This makes sense since the Exchange server retains a current configuration of the user's Outlook profile.
How does Exchange cached mode work with the various versions of Microsoft Outlook? If a user's home client is Outlook 2000, and they log into an Outlook 2003 'remote' client, will Exchange cached mode take effect?
