5635.0. "office97 under NT40 and Exchange" by KAOFS::S_BAINS () Mon Feb 03 1997 13:07

    I am not sure if this is the right conference, if not please point me
    to the right conference.
    	I have NT4.0 installed and I have just updated from Office95 to
    Office97. When I now log-on to the Exchange server I get a error
    message as follows:
    
    	Upload of offline changes could not be completed.` You do not have
    sufficient permissions to perform this operation on this object. See
    the folder contact or your system administrator"
    
    I am on a laptop and before I upgraded The folders on the laptop with
    sync with the server, you had animated icons with a globe and folders
    and pages flying in between. That no longer happens.
    
    Thanks

	re: Note 5635.0 by KAOFS::S_BAINS I have heard from more than one person that the Office 97 install messes up your local Exchange configuration. Maybe re-installing Exchange is only way to fix it. Ken....
5635.2	Shouldn't you be using outlook?	IAGO::tay1dhcp96-55.tay1.dec.com::CUMMINGS	Relax, have a homebrew!	`Tue Feb 04 1997 07:30`	9
	Office 97 comes with the new Outlook client which includes the functionality in the Exchange and Scheduler clients and more. So if your planning to use Outlook I don't think you want to re-install Exchange. Unfortunately, I don't have Office 97 myself so I can't offer much help with how to configure Outlook! Gregg
5635.3	Outlook doesn't work under V1.1	DECWET::MVB	Monty VanderBilt	`Tue Feb 04 1997 08:26`	4
	FX!32 V1.1 does not officially support Office 97. You are, of course, free to try anything you like. There is a discussion of the problems with Office 97 under FX!32 V1.1 in TALLIS::FX!32. Specifically, Outlook does not work. You need to reinstall the exchange client to get your email working again.
5635.4	every thing OK but...	KAOFS::S_BAINS		`Tue Feb 04 1997 08:44`	9
	I understood that FX!32 was on alpha platforms. I have an Intel box . I can use my exchange and do everything I could before but if I work offline and when I'm back in the office and connect to the server then any work I've done will not get updated with the server. Do I need some more privileges with my account on the server. thanks santokh

	RE: .4 Did you try removing and re-adding your profile and creating a new .OST? mike
5635.6	not tried yet	KAOFS::S_BAINS		`Tue Feb 04 1997 12:02`	11
	Mike, No I haven't tried deleting and recreating my profile, I did create a second profile but when I selected it and went into outlook it did not pick up any mail stuff no folders or anything. So I was a little afraid of completely removing my somewhat working profle and start from scratch. Can you tell me what the .OST file is for Thanks santokh
5635.7		2954::FOLEY	http://axel.zko.dec.com	`Tue Feb 04 1997 14:32`	8
	The OST file is your offline folders.. When you create a new Exchange profile, it asks you if you are travelling with this computer. If you say yes, an Offline folder is created. You can do this manually also. (see help, search for offline) mike
5635.8	Never Mind	DECWET::MVB	Monty VanderBilt	`Wed Feb 05 1997 11:02`	7
	Sorry about the FX!32 note. I've got Alpha on the brain and the problem reported was similar to what we're seeing in emulation. Never mind. P.S. I have had no trouble using x86 Exchange and Outlook interchangably from both a desktop PC and a portable via RAS.
