Hi,
We are using outlook 2003( no service pack) (op sys: win 2000 pro) at our
branch office and a tech recently updated the exchange server2003 to SP2. We
use a public folder for appointments which now are giving erratic results i.e
. appointments moving to different days with us actually moving them. I was
wondering if there was a issue with outlook 2003 and exchange 2003 sp2 on
public folders

Thanks

totally different days or is there a pattern - i.e., a specific number of
hours, which may result in it moving to the day before or the day after?

Hi,
We managed to sort the problem, when the tech applied the exchange 2003
sp2 he unchecked using the cache on the mailboxes on the outlook clients
because it was taking too long to update with sp2 modifying the public
folders but it had already started to cache the ost file so when you tried to
put appointments in the folder it was getting confused with a corrupt ost
file. The branch is on a relatively slow connection to head office. We
deleted the ost file, recreated the outlook profile and let it synchronise
overnight. We are now considering placing a exchange server in the branch to
overcome this problem. thanks for the reply
