The Inbox always gives me errors when trying to Sync to the offline folders on a laptop, either DOCKED or UNDOCKED (But connected to the docking station). Hence when physically undocked the inbox is not synced to the Exchange Server inbox for the client. I have tried to remove and reestablish the OST file with the same error. The Outlook Client is setup for CW (Corporate or Workgroup). MS TechNet has not yielded any firm answers.

Just FYI - Outlook 98 works fine.

Thanks for your help!

the pst file used by outlook is not allowed to be available offline by default. you will need to edit the registry, and I swear I just read where, but I'll be darned if I can find it now.

Anyway, you will need to review Server 2000's help application, and I believe it will help you try to find which registry entry needs to be modified to allow for the outlook files to be made available offline.

I'll post a comment if I can find the reference I referred to above.

Good luck.

Can you be a little more specific about the error that is being returned by Outlook please.

Thanks
