Missing NK2 file in Outlook folder
by RGVubmlzX1M » Sat, 12 Jul 2008 02:04:40 GMT
I am having one of our users log on to a different terminal server. On the
orginal terminal server when she uses Outlook, she claims to have tons of
names cached in the autocompletion. If she hits an "a" in the To field she
gets a long list of names. However, the NK2 autocomplete cache file is
missing from the Outlook folder. Also, in the Advanced E-Mail Options dialog
box, "Suggest names while completeing" is checked. Where would these names
be cached if the NK2 file is not there? Again this is on the orignal
terminal server.
There are only three names in the Contacts folder too, although I don't
believe autocompletetion tries to match names in the contacts folder.
I have migrated many other users and the NK2 file is always there to copy
over the the other server.
Thanks.

Autocomplete definitely uses a .nk2 file...that's it. I suggest you search
hidden/system folders just in case..
I also suggest you set up folder redirection for your TS users (at the very
least ...if not all users) so you never have to worry about data stored on
your terminal servers. Redirect Application Data, Desktop, and My Documents
to your file server, via GPO.

1.Outlook 2002 Autocomplete broken - .nk2 file missing, not recreated
Hi - Dell Inspiron 4150/XP Pro/Office XP Pro. Autocomplete
quit working in Outlook; multiple posts suggest renaming
"profilename.nk2" to ".bak", allowing Outlook to recreate
file upon next open. However, no .nk2 (or .nick) files
exist on the computer (yes, I did search for hidden files),
and toggling the checkboxes to turn the autocomplete
feature on/off seem to have no effect - feature does not
work and file is not recreated...
-Suggestions?

3.NK2 File Missing (Outlook 2010)
Hi
After upgrading my Outlook from 2007 to 2010 I found that NK2 file is
missing. I copied the NK2 file from a backup taken before upgrade but the
Autocomplete does not work (all cached info is gone).
Any idea if there is change in NK2 file/format or a design change in Outlook
2010.

5.Missing *.nk2 files
Outlook not saving "autocomplete" information from one day to the next. I
have been advised that the issue may be corrupt *.nk2 files on the system and
that I should recreate the user's profile. However, none of the profiles have
an "nk2" file in their \documents and settings\&username&\application
data\microsoft\outlook folder so I am not confident that recreating the
profile will fix the issue.
