Cached Mode

You're welcome! :-)
That very setting controls if you can use ost-files or not and since Cached
Exchange Mode creates an ost-file, its behavior is affected by this policy
setting.
I suggest you verify your GPO if this was not intended.

Found toggle in reg
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Offi ce12.0\Outlook\OST

"NoOST" DWORD value set to "2", changed to "1" and cache mode now
available.
What would cause this option to be "Unavailable"?

Thanks for the help Roady!

Outlook 2007 can configure itself based on Active Directory
information.
If
you select it to manually configure your mail profile, can you enable
it
then?

Not TS... and installing local on my laptop... from a "select" DVD
media.
Installing the same way I have always installed Outlook clients in
the
past.
Prior to rebuilding my laptop I had the same v Outlook (2007).
Running
Vista
"Business"... latest patches and updates. Interesting note... In
past
installs of Outlook... process would include creating profile...
selecting
MS
Exchange server... entering server, cache mode and mailbox... now
process
is
profile... and next screen is pre-populated with FQDN of email
server
and
my
mailbox. "Cache mode" is greyed out.

Nice typo ;-)

I assume this is not a Terminal Server or Remote App installation?
In
those
cases Cached Exchange Mode is not available.

Is it available when you create a new mail profile?
See http://www.howto-outlook.com/faq/newprofile.htm

Is it available when you configure it with a new user on that
machine?
(create a test account if no other account exists yet)

I have been using Office 2007, Outlook 2007 since its release.
recently
had
to reload my laptop and when completing the initial setup of
Outlook
I
noticed that the "Cached Mode" selection was "greyed" out. I
have
tried
to
manually create an .ost and point the account to it with no
luck.
I
have
completely uninstalled the Office Pro 2007 product and tried a
new
install.
"Cached mode" is still unavailable. Any ideas?
