Well, wait, now I'm not so sure. I think the Outlook profile was deleted off the PC, but I'm pretty sure the user profile on the server was retained. The problem is that when the user logged onto Outlook using her new profile, some of the task items that had been listed were now missing. We wanted to try to restore the old mailbox from the OST to see if we could get those missing items back. Does that sound possible? -----Original Message----- From: Elise C.

Was the mailbox deleted, is it viewable in the Exchange administrator program? If it still exists, than yesy it can b brought back to life. If on the other hane, when the user was deleted, the Exchange administrator manually deleted the mailbox, its gone. By default, the mailbox is retained for 30 days.=3D3D20 -----Original Message----- From: Elise C.

For some reason it wouldn't let us create one. We did have an OST but not a PST. I have read a couple Microsoft tech articles that lead me to believe that an OST is not enough to restore from. I certainly hope not!! If you know a magic fix that would be great! -----Original Message----- From: Stelley, Douglas [mailto:dstelley@xxxxxxx]=3D3D3D20 Sent: Wednesday, January 14, 2004 1:38 PM To: mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [mso] Re: using an .ost file in Outlook=3D3D3D20 Was the mailbox on the server, or did you use .PST's?=3D3D3D3D20 -----Original Message----- From: Elise C.

We are = =3D =3D3D =3D3D3D =3D3D3D3D =3D3D3D3D3D running SBS2000 at a client, and had a few = problems =3D with exchange =3D3D3D3D3D lately. We had to delete one user without creating = a =3D =3D3D PST file, because =3D3D3D =3D3D3D3D =3D3D3D3D3D the profile wouldn't let me = export =3D the =3D3D file. Now that we are up and =3D3D3D =3D3D3D3D3D running again, we recreated = the =3D user, =3D3D but there is some information =3D3D3D =3D3D3D3D3D missing from the profile. = We =3D did create an OST file in the old profile =3D3D3D3D3D because we had set up = =3D the profile with offline files. Does anyone know =3D3D3D3D3D if there is a = =3D way =3D3D to use the OST file from the old profile to recover =3D3D3D3D3D the data in = =3D the deleted account? I know the SID is =3D3D3D different and we =3D3D3D3D3D = =3D can't =3D3D just pull it over to the new one. But we are looking =3D3D3D =3D3D3D3D for = =3D3D a=3D3D3D3D3DA0way =3D3D3D3D3D to open the OST, or import it into another account. Any input would be greatly appreciated. I'd be glad to provide more =3D =3D3D3D =3D3D3D3D3D detail if necessary.
