We have a few users we need to set up for cached exchange mode. We went into
Control panel | mail | show profiles | select the profile and then select
properties. Email Accounts | View or Change Existing Email Accounts |
selected Microsoft Exchange Server and select Change. Turned on check for
cached exchange mode. Now one question we have that is not very clear in the
book or online is if the select MORE SETTINGS, there is also a check box on
the Advanced tab, Cached exchange mode settings, and used cached exchange
mode. Do we select this? Say we have several accounts above in the list of
additional mailboxes, does this mean Outlook would cache all of those
automatically also, or is this just turned on cached exchange mode in general.

Is there anything else we need to worry about. We are NOT utilizing pst
files. And if someone has a Dell Axim that also syncs to their workstation,
how does cached exchange mode affect the Dell Axim users (the Dell's are set
up to sync locally instead of to the exchange server--will be need to change
this mode)?

You don't need to check it in both places, but it doesn't hurt to do so.

Only if you're using Outlook 2007, which is the first version to cache shared mailbox folders.

The data is still in Outlook locally for the Axim to sync with. i

When needing to change only the exchange server (say it was ABC and we need
to point it to XYZ), isn't there a registry entry that these key off of that
we could just push to the workstation instead of utilizing the Custom
Maintenance Tool?

Let me know. Thanks.

So say my mailbox is JDOE and I have a signature and another calendar (say
Help Desk) loaded in with my exchange account. Now we run the maintenance
wizard that does a MODIFY and it creates a backup of %username% profile,
along with this, we need to reselect our signature, we lost the Help Desk
calendar, and now need to reinsert the Help Desk calendar into our existing
account.

Is this suppose to happen when we modify an existing account?
