Frequently Asked Questions

When I use the Archive or AutoArchive features in Outlook, items do not archive as expected.

hh0039 — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 16:21:24 -0500

Outlook does not archive as expected because the date that is used to determine when an item is archived depends on the type of item.

How secure is this system?

While there are many layers of security that protect us from attacks, viruses, worms, etc., we take security very seroiusly and are configuring the system with this in mind.

Will there be name completion in Outlook?

Why personal folder files (.pst files) are unsupported over a local area network (LAN) or wide area network (WAN) link?

hh0039 — Wed, 16 Apr 2008 11:27:37 -0500

Top 3 reasons why PST’s are not supported on over a network:

1. All operations take longer.

2. Write operations can take approximately four times longer than read operations.

3. Outlook has slower performance than the Exchange Client.

The .pst files are not meant to be a long-term, continuous-use method of storing messages in an enterprise environment. Two alternatives are suggested:

1. Using .ost files

2.Microsoft Windows Terminal Services.

Are there multi-calendars in Outlook like in GroupWise?

hh0039 — Tue, 29 Jan 2008 12:06:20 -0600

In essence, yes though it is handled differently than you are used to in GroupWise. In Outlook, you would share the calendar with someone. This would cause it to show up in their list of calendars. Click the checkboxes next to the calendars that you would like to view side by side. I will discuss more about sharing calendars in a later tutorial.

hh0039 — Tue, 29 Jan 2008 12:08:16 -0600

Yes. To those who also have Exchange mailboxes, they will see the flagged mail with the followup times and alarms. Other systems may not see those, but should display some indication that they have been flagged.
