Looking for a way to turn off e-mail synchronization for all users.
We run a 2000 Exchange server on a Windows 2000 Server and Outlook 2003 on the client side. We're trying to find a way to disable mail synchronization for all users, preferrably on the server side. Any ideas?
Thankyou

what do you mean by mail sync?

From my understanding, every time a user logs in anywhere, Exchange sends a copy of everything for a user's exchange acct. to the machine their logging in on to be stored locally instead of only on the Exchange server. We're wanting to keep it from doing that and just have e-mail stored on the server and never copied locally. We're hoping there's a way to turn that synchronization off on the server side, rather than having to go to each desktop and modify it in Outlook.

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
It's important to be aware that, despite its name, the Disable Cached Exchange Mode on new profiles policy setting just described applies to existing as well as new profiles. Also note that in the user dialog box where this setting is first displayed, the setting value shown is determined from the user profile, not from the policy setting.

Thankyou, and I'm going to go ahead and award points, cuz this looks promising. I just hope it works like it says it does. . . yesterday we went in and enabled folder redirections on the application data folder so that it would stop copying the outlook.ost (not 100% sure of that extention) file into the profile all the time. It did exactly that, but also started the quicklaunch menu on a never ending refresh, which makes it flash every 2 seconds, which is ANNOYING. lol
thanks again!
thanks again!
