5635.0. "office97 under NT40 and Exchange" by KAOFS::S_BAINS () Mon Feb 03 1997 16:07

    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.

5635.2Shouldn't you be using outlook?IAGO::tay1dhcp96-55.tay1.dec.com::CUMMINGSRelax, have a homebrew!Tue Feb 04 1997 10:309
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!

5635.3Outlook doesn't work under V1.1DECWET::MVBMonty VanderBiltTue Feb 04 1997 11:264
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.
5635.4every thing OK but...KAOFS::S_BAINSTue Feb 04 1997 11:449
    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

	RE: .4

	Did you try removing and re-adding your profile and creating
	a new .OST?

5635.6not tried yetKAOFS::S_BAINSTue Feb 04 1997 15:0211
    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

	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)

5635.8Never MindDECWET::MVBMonty VanderBiltWed Feb 05 1997 14:027
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.
