Missing .ost
 

Outlook 2003
Exchange Server

On local machine no OST (or PST present).
dir *.ost /s /b
File Not Found

How is it possible? Where is the data stored locally?


Thanks in advance!

Maybe they're not storing the data locally and just accessing their
server-side mailbox.

Thanks for the reply. I thought about it, but with the server being offsite and tens of thousands of emails, I should be seeing some lag, no?

Have you checked File, Data file management for the ost location? Or the
offline setting in the profile.

so what type of acct do you have configured in Outlook? Check the acct that
is supposed to have the ost and see where it is pointing to.

Are you having problems finding the file too? If not, it clearly was
intended for the person with the problem.
