Outlook 2003 Exchange Cached Mode bandwidth usage
by bartvd » Mon, 01 Mar 2004 17:23:55 GMT
Does any have some figures about the bandwidth usage per user for Outlook
2003 in Exchange Cached mode?
I would like to be able to calculate the needed bandwitdh for a number of
users?
Let's say if you have 10 users how much bandwidth is needed? what is there
are 20? or 50?
Some comparison between online and cached, or XP/2000 could also be usefull?
So does anyone have some figures for me?
Thanks.

Well the whole purpose of Cached Exchange mode is to reduce bandwidth. The
first time you start Outlook it will synchronise the selected folder
(Tools-> Options-> tab Mail Setup-> button Send/Receive-> button Edit...->
Select Exchange Account). These will be downloaded to the client so no
bandwidth is needed anymore.
Of course the total reduction of bandwidth depends on how often you view all
e-mails, how big the mailbox it and your synchronising settings but in
conjunction with Exchange 2003 it could save you about 30-40% of the
bandwidth you are currently using.
See http://www.**--****.com/
info on the caching mode.

1.Using cached exchange mode vs not using cached exchange mode
We are using Outlook 2003 and Exchange 2000 server. Getting prompts about
using cached exchange mode. What is the default setting for this? Use or do

in a 2003 domain environment.
2.How do I know if Outlook cache is sync'ed up with Exchange in Cached Exchange Mode
I've writing an Outlook plug-in that creates a folder and few messages
inside the folder. It only creates these the first time it starts up, after
that it just references them. The problem I'm having is that in a
multi-client situation when one of the clients is using Cached Exchange
mode, my plug-in will create the folder and messages before Outlook has
sync'ed up with the server. This can cause duplicate folders and items to be
created when Outlook finally manages to sync up its cache with the server. I
can delay creating the folder for a few minutes but I would prefer to know
that the mailbox is in sync with the server before I start my functions. Is
there anyway to tell when a folder or msgstore is in sync with the server?
I know that I can bypass the cache by using the MAPI_NO_CACHE flags but it
would be a lot simpler I could just tell when the cache was dirty or not.

3.Exchange 2003 Outlook 2003 Cached Exchange Mode
Hi,
Does anyone know of anyway I can perminently disable the Outlook Junk Email
Filter while using Cached Exchange Mode? If you turn it off in Outlook it
comes back on the next time you launch outlook. I am willing to disable it
using any means possible...
Thank You,

4.Exchange Server 2007 - MS Outlook 2003 SP3 - Cached Exchange Mode
Good afternoon!
Quick Question: client with multiple AD Sites - EXCH2007 box in "HQ",
multiple WINXP SP3/MS Outlook 2003 SP3 clients in the Sites.
All clients now log into the domain. Local Domain Controller in each Site.
However, when going through the process of joining the computers to the
domain and configuring the profile for each user (which includes MS
Outlook - running in Cached Exchange Mode) we notice extreme network
slowness in the remote Sites. There is a T1 in each Remote Site. Okay.
Slowness is expected as the .ost file is being created on the machine.
There are approx. 20 machines in each remote site.
QUESTION: does Exchange/Outlook use http port 1164 for this process? We
are looking on our Firewalls and see a lot of traffic on the days that the
Outlook clients were configured.
Thanks,
Cary
5.Cached Exchange Mode Outlook 2003 and Exchange 5.5
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
