Disable Cached mode through MSP (2010)

Mojn!
I have an Office 2010 installation, specific for Desktop/limited laptops, for the purpose of having Outlook setup by default without cached mode.
This is specified through the admin tool/generated MSP.
It worked for a few months.. new users loggin on to these machines would get exchange access with no configuration; uncached..
As implied: It stopped working.
We have no GPO regarding this, and no one has touched the installation.
Even deploying the setting through GPO doesn't affect this, new users are allways created with Cached mode.
I need some pointers on where i should start troubleshooting - As far as i know GPO/MSP is the only way of affecting this.

Yep Cached mode is a selectable option.
We have no addins in Outlook.
I'll take a look at the reg. you mentioned and return shortly.
Edit:
Adding {
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook\Cached Mode]
"CacheOthersMail"=dword:00000000
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\office\14.0\outlook\Cached Mode]
"CacheOthersMail"=dword:00000000
Prior to starting Outlook did sadly not solve it.
I'm both perplexed and intrigued by what could possibly cause this.
In the MSP, i specify this:
I'll try changing it to Cached mode Headers only, to verify wether the MSP has any influence at all.

Disable Cache mode for a specific Mailbox

Hi
Is it posibble disable cache mode for a specific mailbox ??

As per the information and details provided by you, to disable Cache Mode for a specific mailbox, please follow these steps: -
The information provided by
Amy.Wang is correct, Exchange has no built in function to disable cached mode for a specific mailbox. And to
configure Cached Exchange mode setting by using Group Ploicy, please follow these steps: -
To do this, first you need to download
custom administrative template.
Download and extract the templates to your domain controller.
Start > Admistrative tools > Group Policy Management Console > either create a new policy and link it to your
USERS or edit an existing policy.
Navigate to:
User Configuration > Policies > Administartive Templates
Right click >
Add/Remove Templates.
Add > Navigate to the folder where you extracted the templates >
ADM Folder > en-us folder (change depending on your locale) > Outlk14.adm > Open.
Now Navigate to:
User Configuration > Policies > Administrative Templates > Classic Administartive Templates > Microsoft Outlook 2010 > Account Settings > Exchange > Cached Exchange Mode.
Locate “Use Cached Exchange Mode for new and existing Outlook profiles”
Set the policy to
Disabled > Apply OK > Close the policy editor. Locate “Use Cached Exchange Mode for new and existing Outlook Profiles”
Then get the clients to log off and back on again, wait a couple of hours, or manually run
“gpupdate/ force” on them.
I hope this information will be helpful for you.
Thanks and regards

Exchange 2010 & Outlook 2010 - Cached Mode "okay" work well for you?

Hi All,
On our Client Laptops/PCs we disabled cache mode a long time due to issues experienced with a combination Delegates and Cached Mode occasionally affecting Calendaring. We'd end up with vanishing appointments, etc.
What I'd like to know from you is if you've had a positive experience with Exchange 2010 & Outlook 2010 32bit. If you could impart any gotchas, etc. Our environment is fairly vanilla with a total of 1500 Users.
Thank you very much for your time,
Mr Mister

Hi,
I am using myself outlook 2007 over than WAN (VPN) connection with Exchange 2010 SP2 with about 3 GB mailbox and i personally have not faced any issues. Also, we have about 600 usres with more than 2 GB mailboxes using Outlook 2010 in online mode and
there are not many issues other than email with rich text format with screen shots attached in the mail body causing outlook hang. if we use the same email in html then no issues.
It all depends on the sizing of your CAS and mailbox servers and also on the NIC speed configured on the server. I personally feel that we should have NIC card set to 1GB on the servers also the backup and replication should be on seperate dedicated LAN.

Can Outlook 2013 cached mode disabled work offline?

Hello
I would like to please someone help me to resolve a concern. I have a client Outlook 2013 cache mode disabled by policy, however when you need to open Outlook without connecting to any network, is not possible and a message that the server is not online.
Is there a way to change this behavior and that an Outlook client that has disabled the cache can work offline?
Many thanks

Hi
No, that is what cached mode is used for.
You can use OWA offline if you are disabling cache mode with policy.

Send As not working with cached mode enabled

Hi
I am having some issues using Send As. We are running Exchange 2010 Version 14.2 (Build 247.5) and Outlook 2013.
I have done the following:
1. created a mailbox user
2. created a security group and added my own account
3. added the security group with Send As permission through ADUC on the mailbox user
4. Waited a day and tried to send as the mailbox user, but it fails
If I disable cached mode or use OWA it works perfectly. The mailbox is NOT hidden in the address list.
I have seen this behavior before, but can't remember the "fix"?
Lasse
/Lasse

Hi,
From your description, the send as permission works well via OWA or Exchange online mode, the send as permission is configured successfully. The issue is related to Outlook side, in your case, I recommend you create a new profile and check the result.
Hope this can be helpful to you.

"OutlookSyncClient has stopped working" when Exchange Cached Mode is On.

Hi,
I have an iPhone 3G which originally didn't sync with outlook 2003 in Vista. Sync is being perform via USB. I initially tried reinstalling iTunes, Reset sync history, Syncing with new windows user but could not get it to sync without an error. Vista displays an "OutlookSyncClient has stopped working" error when it tries to sync the calendar. Finally figured out that if you untick "Exchange Cached Mode", it will sucessfully sync with Outlook. However, this is not a workable solution as the computer is a notebook and needs to be able to access their Outlook email while away from the office (and hence needs to be working in Exchange Cached Mode).
After this, I tried rebuilding the Outlook OST file. I also tried deleting the exchange connection and re-adding the exchange connection to the user profile from scratch. I was not able to get it to sync without the error.
Does anyone know of a solution to this problem? or anything else to try? The only workaround at this point is to disable cached mode while in the office, sync the phone and then re-enable cached mode after the sync is complete. This is proving to be quite a pain, surely there must be a way to solve this problem!

Well, your tip helped me to not get this error only by acessing the "Info"-Tab as happened before, thank you!
I was really happy, but then starting the synchronisation itself crashed again with the same error...
So I am still clueless... It must have something to do with outlook being used with Exchange. At home, where I use it locally, synchronisation did work...
sigh

Cannot save free/busy information - Cached mode

So I have a calendar Admin, that has the ability to send meetings on behalf of new hires. She was is cached mode and sent out a few invites. Everyone she sent the invites to received the meetings, accepted the meetings and have the meetings on
their calendar. My Calendar Admin see's the meetings on the new hire's calendar, but no one else can see these meetings on the new hires calendar. My Calendar Admin mentioned seeing the infamous pop-up "cannot save free/busy information":
I disabled cache mode on my Calendar Admin's Outlook 2013, once I disabled cached mode and close/re-opened Outlook, all the the invites she had sent for the users were gone, no longer listed on the "Organizers" calendar... so somehow the invites
were only saved locally to her cached calendar. This smells like a pretty bad bug for users with access to shared calendars and seems like they MUST be in NON-CACHED mode when sending any invites on behalf of someone else. So now, all the meetings
are on all the calendars of the "invitees" but not on the new hire (organizers) calendar. This is seems to be a reproduceable bug that I'm hoping isn't working "as designed"
Are there any known bugs with this process? Is there a way around this other than disabling cached mode? Where do these meetings actually save when in Cached mode on a shared calendar?
Thanks in advanced

Hi,
Please check this following setting on her account first.
In Outlook, click File, click Account Settings, and then click Account Settings (again).
Select the Microsoft Exchange account, and then click Change.
Click More Settings.
Click the Advanced tab.
Select the Download Shared Folders option.
Click OK, click Next, click Finish, and then click Close in the Account Settings window.
If this doesn’t work, please try to repair or re-create outlook profile to check this issue.
Exit Outlook.
In Control Panel, double-click Mail.
Click Show Profiles.
Select a profile.
Click Remove.
Click Add to create a new Profile.
Best Regards.

Outlook 2010 stops receving new emails when in cached mode

User has an Outlook 2010 issue that has been called in on NUMEROUS internal helpdesk tickets and has never been resolved. What happens is several times a week his Outlook 2010 client on his Windows 7 SP1 laptop will stop synchronizing
new messages from Exchange 2010 (not sure exact build/version). His admin assistant still gets his new messages in her Outlook 2007 SP3 client (as his delegate) and he still gets new messages on his iPhone via Good GMM. If he logs in to Outlook
Web Access all his messages are there.
We already tried toggling Cached Exchange mode off and back on several times, the problem still returns whenever in cached mode.
We already tried deleting the outlook.ost file and letting it rebuild several times, the problem still returns.
We already tried deleting the entire Outlook profile and letting it rebuild several times, the problem still returns.
We already tried deleting the entire Windows user profile and letting it rebuild several times, the problem still returns.
We even gave him a whole new laptop, the problem still returned.
Problem started with Outlook 2007, upgraded to 2010, problem returned.
Seems to happen more often when the laptop resumes from sleep, but not always.
Most add-ins are disabled except for McAfee and a few other essential Microsoft ones.
He does not have ANY rules or alerts set, none at all.
He does not have any other mailboxes or shared calendars in Outlook and RSS feeds are off.
He does have 8 PST files and several of them are quite large (three are 2GB each, one is 4 GB).

Hi Smitty,
If change other user account on his laptop, and use outlook cache mode, is there the same issue?
If not, I recommend you try to move this mailbox to another database, and check the result.

Exchange 2010 all mail clients with internal cached and internal non-cached mode users having connection status issues, login prompt -- external is fine either way

Hello,
I'm seeing an issue that started this past Monday with no recent change to our environment.
External Outlook Anywhere users and Mobile users, OWA users are unaffected.
Internal Users are affected when using Outlook of any version, 2010 or 2013.
-Internal Users normally log into their workstation with their ad credentials, domain joined machines. Outlook opens without credentials prompting ideally.
1 . Using Cached Mode:
a. Login Prompts, slowness - Since Monday, users are getting prompted to login. The prompt goes away after logging in at startup. It is also causing high CPU
on the workstations.
b. Free/Busy, Out of Office doesn't work. I can, however complete auto-setup for a new user, so autodiscover is not completely down for internal users.
c. Checking Connection Status shows connecting status on highlighted entry below without ever establishing connection (just goes away).
The outlook icon in the system tray says "Outlook is requesting data from the server":
2. Using Non-cached mode
a. No Login Prompt at startup, business as usual
b. Free/Busy, Out of Office works fine. Autodiscover is fine.
c. Checking Connection Status shows normal except, it has "casarray URL, then status is referral" it seams to flicker this constantly then go away intermittently.
d. Main issue in non-cached mode is, sometimes a user will log into windows, open outlook and it will not open and says "server is unavailable. Retry, work offline, or cancel" I can try re-opening, same message.
Only after logging out of windows, logging back in, I can get back into outlook. This is not every time, or consistent with specific users, but random.
3. Lync Pop up for credentials often, though entering the password.
URLs are correct. Autodiscover, EWS, etc.
Already tried bypassing our loadmaster load balancer with host files on clients. same issue regardless of casarray node.
Not sure what is going on.
Josh

You have a hybrid configuration with Office 365, right? You didn't provide this valuable piece of information.
In Exchange Online PowerShell run this command:
Get-OrganizationConfig | FL PublicFoldersEnabled
If the value is "Remote" then users with Exchange Online mailboxes are looking to on-premises public folders. Be sure that you have legacy pubic folder interoperability properly configured.

Outlook 2010 shared mailbox in cache mode not updating Inbox automatically

I have a user who has XP on his desktop, running Outlook 2010, connecting to a Exchange 2010 w/SP2. I recently added a shared mailbox for him to monitor. I did it the old way by adding additional mailbox to his client (outlook 2010) pc.. I understand
now that in 2010 SP1 or greater that you can simply do this from the exchange server by granting full access permissions. Either way, the user sees the mailbox and gets email in the shared mailbox ONLY when he clicks on the inbox and
clicks on Update Folder. For some reason it is not auto updating new email. His personal account works fine, meaning when a new email is received it comes in and you see new mail. The account is in cache mode and I've looked at other shared
mailboxs that are working fine and the settings look the same? I'm not sure why this shared mailbox is not updating?
William McConnell

I can see this is an old thread but I have a relevant question.
This workaround does indeed work but what else is possible to do? The cashed mode is more or less necessary when working with large shared mailboxes.

Exchange 2010 + Outlook 2013 = Items deleted from inbox, Keep Re-Appearing. (Cached mode outlook only)

Hey Team,
We have a single user who when she deletes items from the Inbox they re-appear (in the inbox), if she is running in cached exchange mode. The items do not re-appear in OWA.
She is not experiencing any network connectivity issues
We have rebuilt her MAPI profile including deleting all existing OST files
We have removed and reinstalled outlook / office 2013
She is the only user with the issue
There are no Sync issues
As soon as we disable cached exchange mode this issue immediately goes away, she is running Office 2013 RTM.
Any Ideas,
Thanks,
Robert
Robert

Hi Robert,
If change another PC to configure her mailbox within outlook 2013, is there the same issue?
In addition, you can try to move her mailbox to another database and check if any helps.

Outlook 2010 cached mode cannot see GAL but Outlook 2007 can via Exchange 2010

Hi,
I have a problem similar to
this but with a different cause.
Our OAB config looks good from both Outlook 2007 and Outlook 2010. Both can see the GAL in non-cached mode but in cached mode only 2007 can see the GAL. In 2010 it's just not there. Even the same user can only see it in 2007.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to why this is?
Cheers,
Rob

Hi,
I have got the same issue, that I can't see updated OAB in outlook 2010.
Can you share the detailed path of the locations you have mentioned here:
In Office 2010, this happens but these values also exist in the [Service1] section and are blank:
OfflineAddressBookPath=
OfflineFolderPathAndFilename=
And how do we add locations to these paths?
Thank you in advance.

Outlook 2010 -Mailbox Cleanup wizard does not start when using cached mode

We are using Outlook 2010 with Exchange 2003 server.
Currently all users are using online mode, but for some problem, I need to persuade the users to change to use cached mode.
Recently we find that when user
mailbox reaches its size limit and try to send an email message in Outlook 2010 that is in cached mode, the email message stays in the
Outbox and the Mailbox Cleanup wizard does not start. It just prompts
for "send and receive error". As most of the user would not look for what the error is referring and just call IT to fix. Even worst is, they didn't realize that the mail is still in outbox.
I find the KB2544027 describing this issue but was not available and suggest to install 2596485.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2544027/en-us
I've try to install the hotfix and install Office 2010 SP2 but just doesn't work.
Does anyone know how can I fix it?
Thanks!

Hi,
Based on my research from the internal resource, this issue has been fixed in build 14.0.6126.5000 or less. I suppose that the hotfix not available because it has been involved in the release.
I’d like to confirm your Office 2010 build number so that we can conduct a deeper analysis on this issue.
In addition, make sure you have installed the latest update for Office 2010.

Exchange server 2010 cached mode vs no cached mode

I have end users who are experiencing when they start up outlook 2010 hanging outlook when they click on new email or respond to email.
It last for about 3 to 5 minutes. Then the client works normally also if you wait for 5 minutes that issue does not happen.
I have done every possible scenario to fix the issue. except put client in cache mode. (its grayed out, group policy) I know cached mode
puts lease resource on the exchange server, I know about the address book update, I have a method to update that. Has anybody
else experienced hanging outlook in there environment and found the fix for it?

Check the connection status on Outlook, where it's connecting too.
Cached mode will give you better performance
Does OWA works fine?
