Cached Exchange Mode Outlook 2003 and Exchange 5.5

[bradhiggins]

Hey guys,

I am having an issue with an Outlook 2003 client running cached exchange server mode connecting to our exchange 5.5 server.

What happens is the user can go a couple of hours not receiving any messages, and then all of a sudden gets 20 messages delivered some dating back to an hour and a half ago.

Is there a way to get cached mode to synch the OST file more often, or get it to be delivered more real time then it currently is? Or is this a fundamental issue with Outlook 2003 and Exchange 5.5

Any help would be greatfully appreciated

Cheers

Brad

It might be the (or related to the) issue mentioned in

- XP's firewall can block the UDP packets on XP clients as well. If so, the fix works very well.

Hey,

I have a group policy that turns windows firewall off when users are on the corporate network, but turns it on when they are not connected, so the XP Firewall shouldn't be blocking anything.

I have outlook 2003 with Service Pack 1 installed, which the fix suggests, but the above fix appears to be for Office 2002 (XP).

Have I misread it.

Cheers
