MS Office Forum / Outlook / Calendaring / December 2007Events disappear upon sync
I have a user that has his events that he enters into his calendar's ost file disappear when he syncs to the Exchange Server 2003 or at least a few seconds after he saves the event. He can enter events directly into Exchange by not using cached mode and they remain no problem and when he returns to cached mode they will come down from the exchange server just fine. However, if he tries to enter new events in cached mode again, they disappear. He has tried deleting the ost file and allow Outlook to generate a new one but the same result occurs. Other items such as mail seems to sync with no problems. His computer is running XP Pro and Outlook 2003. Any ideas? Thanks, Greg We have the same problem since we have installed Office 2003 SP3! > I have a user that has his events that he enters into his calendar's ost file > disappear when he syncs to the Exchange Server 2003 or at least a few seconds [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > Thanks, > Greg Good point Daniel.

[quoted text clipped - 44 lines] > >> >> > Thanks, > >> >> > Greg Diane, I thought that it sync'd every 5 minutes. If I understand what you are saying, then after an event is saved (in cached mode) it will sync to the Exchange Server after approximately 5 seconds? If this is the case, then it would seem to be occuring upon sync. We are also syncing to a Sony Clie about once every week and have been for a few years. This started occuring right after we ran the Office SP3. Each time this happens, it creates a sync error message that I have listed below. Subject: Synchronization Log: Importance: High 9:02:12 Synchronizer Version 11.0.8161 9:02:12 Synchronizing Mailbox 'username' 9:02:12 Synchronizing local changes in folder 'Calendar' 9:02:12 Uploading to server 'exchangeserver.domain_name' 9:02:12 Error synchronizing message 'test' 9:02:12 [80070005-508-80070005-323] 9:02:12 You do not have sufficient permission to perform this operation on this object.

[quoted text clipped - 44 lines] > >> >> > Thanks, > >> >> > Greg Diane, I have several computers on our network, all of which are running Outlook 2003 connecting to an Exchange Server 2003. There have been only two users who have updated there programs to Office SP3. Immediately after doing so, they can no longer enter a new event/appointment into their Outlook running in "Cached Mode" and have it sync/push the new event up to the Exchange Server. It simply disappears after a few seconds when it tries to sync. When entering an event into Outlook while connected online or using Outlook Web Access and not in “Cached Mode”, the event remains stored and will even sync back to the laptop after you connect in “Cached Mode” again. There seems to be a permissions problem with the “Cached Mode” .ost file authenticating with the Exchange Server. Is there a workaround for this problem? A registry setting that can be changed instead of uninstalling Office completely and reinstalling back to SP2? Thanks, Greg > How are you confirming its not happing on sync? 5 seconds is about how long > it takes to begin to sync when using cached mode. [quoted text clipped - 44 lines] > >> >> > Thanks, > >> >> > Greg Dear Greg, I have the same problem here: Appointments disappear from Outlook 2003 SP3 calendar in day/week/ month view. The appointments are still visible in - OWA - on a windows mobile 5/6 device synced via push mail - in outlook 2003 SP3 cache mode disabled - in outlook 2003 SP3 cache mode enabled and view by category (I can search for the "missing" appointments and find them though) In outlook 2003 SP3 cache mode enabled it is easy to find the missing appointments: in the "view by category" the "start date" is empty (i.e. "none") so if I sort the list by "start date" I see them immediately... We use Exchange 2003 (English version) , Windows XP SP2 (German and English version) and Office 2003 SP3 (German and English version). Uninstalling and then installing office 2003 without SP3 does not help as SP3 seams to be still installed (info still shows eg. Outlook 2003 SP3)... I have no idea how to resolve this... Any help would be warmly welcome. Best regards Dieter Dieter, The first thing I did was to uninstall MS Office completely and then delete the Microsoft Office folder/directory under Program Files. I then reinstalled from the installation CD and then ran the Office Update making sure to uncheck the update for Office SP3 and also checked to not have it remind me again for the SP3 update. Once I did that, then the SP2 update became available the next time I checked for updates. I installed SP2 and everyhting was back to normal. I don't know what improvements SP3 is supposed to contain but we will apparently never be able to benefit from them. Are these the steps that you took? It makes me so mad that Microsoft won't do anything about this problem nor do any of the MVP's know how to workaround the uninstall and reinstall solution. This has occured on every machine that has updated to SP3 running in cached mode and connecting to an Exchange 2003 Server. I don't think that alot of people are aware that this is happening because they don't sit there and wait the 15 seconds or so and watch to see if the appointment disappears - (why would you if you didn't know this was happening?) It almost seems illegal that we pay Microsoft for these updates through software licensing and then when the update messes up our programs, Microsoft makes us pay them to fix their mistakes. Where is the justice in that? Anyway, post your results. It looks like it's going to be up to us users to resolve this one. Thanks, Greg > Dear Greg, > [quoted text clipped - 25 lines] > Best regards > Dieter I have finally gotten this issue resolved after 3 weeks of working with MS support.
