Ensure that cached mode in Outlook is working well

The cached Exchange mode in Outlook 2003 is 2007 and 2010 available an upgraded version of the offline folder feature in Outlook, but easier to use much. This allows you to work even if you are unable to connect to the server or if the connection is lost with your exchanger Server mailbox. If you have cached Exchange mode, you save a copy of your mailbox is located on the server in the local workstation by just one offline folder file or .ost file. When you are connected to the Exchange Server, Outlook downloads a copy of all items in the mailbox in this .ost file stored and then the two synchronize regularly, so at any point in time, you can find the same elements in both your .ost file and the server mailbox. The idea is that you are unable to access the Exchange Server mailbox, you should still East data restore and it work on your local workstation.

Cached Exchange mode is obviously a very valuable feature in Outlook. The only concern for a system administrator is that this function to consume significant system resources. This makes it necessary for the administrator evaluate carefully if users must use Outlook cached mode. We look at you two main factors that could affect the decision.

"Disk enabling cache mode is capacity - users can store cached data on your local hard drives." This means that there must be enough free disk space to store the data. You also have to keep track of the size of user mailboxes. This is necessary for two important reasons. Started once the .ost file is getting bigger in size, it begins, the Outlook performance. Secondly, the larger the file size, the greater the chances that the file will get damaged and one has a repair software to use, recover ost data. If the user's mailbox too big, it is better to archive older data, so that the size of the .ost file remains manageable.
"Bandwidth - given the large quantities of bandwidth available today, you might think that network bandwidth is not such a serious problem." However it committed the initial synchronization will when copying all data from the Exchange Server mailbox in the local .ost file. All subsequent synchronizations copy only the most recent data was added or changed in the server mailbox and using too much bandwidth. The solution would be seasons, implement user Outlook mode of cached so that initial synchronization occurs at different times.
While the .ost file offers great flexibility, it leaves users with an orphaned file when the mailbox on the Exchange Server gets accidentally deleted or corrupted due to virus attacks. Restore ost data from an orphaned OST file it is preferably use a tool such as advanced Exchange recovery of DataNumen, scanning and data from the file to restore.
