Default Calendar reminder does not work even though it's turned on

This has not solved my problem. Additionaly, when I access my calender
through web access, all of my reminders pop up.

Try starting Outlook with the /resetfolders and /cleanreminders switches. In
the Start, Run dialog:

outlook.exe /resetfolders /cleanreminders

Then press Enter. See if that helps.

Even though my calendar reminder (and reminder.wav sound) is set to on,

none
of my reminders ever pop up on my screen. They used to work, but stopped
recently, and none of the help desk folks here on Robins AFB can seem to

fix
it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Web access is something completely different. If those switches did not work
then the next steps are to create a brand new profile (not a copy of your
existing one) and if that fails a completely new PST file or mailbox.

Perhaps you can help me with this. I actually created a new profile on a
different machine, and had the same problem. Also I have searches on both my
local machine, and the exchange server and do not see any .pst files.
Please advise.

You wouldn't have PST files if you are using an Exchange mailbox. The store
is located in the EDB on the server. You would need an Exchange admin to
create a new mailbox for you and migrate all your old items over to the new
mailbox.

Actually, as pitiful as it sounds, I am a domain/exchange admin. (Just
migrated from NetWare) Can I export all old my data to a .pst file, delete my
mailbox then re create it? Or do I need to blow away my domain account and
start fresh?

You can copy anything you want from your mailbox to a PST file but you'd
lose the single instance storage. Not sure that means anything to you or
that it's important.

I'd post this in an Exchange admin group to get their expert advice on the
best way to do this. Make sure you post your Exchange version and SP level.
I just play at being an Exchange admin on my own private Exchange server (or
my Labrador does the admin work for me sometimes), I'm not a real Exchange
admin.
