Gentlemen,

I have a small query about exchange 2010.

In my domain having 2000 users, all are connecting to head office exchange server which is located in different country. In my case users doesn't have dedicated machines, so they used to swap their seats on daily basis and re configuring emails which creates huge bandwidth issue. To avoid this situation do we have any alternate option (local exchange server which is not possible right now-hence please avoid this) where we can enable so the all clients can receive emails from location server.

I tried few pop/imap client which is not giving me desired results , i mean categories cannot work, flags cannot work.

Do we have any option using which i can download emails for defined email ids to local server and can distribute emails to the clients. 

 

Hello

user use cached outlook?

Best way to isolate the issue is ask users to connect using OWA..

If any users who still would like to access the mailbox using outlook, you may have them connected to online mode but this is just few users not for all users.

Hi,

Yes they use cached mode in outlook. If we removes it then it is creating email receive time. 

Hi. 

Yes they can use OWA, but we have few process which uses 3 to 4 generic email boxes which contains 2 to 3 GB of data. And those Ids are configured in their personal outlook profile by providing access from exchange. 

And using OWA its not feasible for users to use all generic mailboxes,which is the main challenge.

Any suggestion, please..

Hello

if ost redirect to local fileserver with gpo? only local bandwitch use and server disk.

What version of Outlook is being used? If you are able to upgrade to Outlook 2013 you can control how much mailbox data is cached locally. So for example you could through group policy set all clients to only cache last 30 days of mailbox data, which would help reduce the network load when new profiles are created.

For reference: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc179175.aspx

We are using outlook 2010. Once question wanted to ask is, if i keep last 30 days of data downloaded by clients, what about the older data. Are those emails archived/deleted or what , little confused here.

Definitely i will try using outlook 2013 for a test.

Sneff... Thanks for your reply.

Agree to redirect OST on local file server, but whenever user will reconfigure his outlook again the download from exchange will happen to file server as well right?

Group policy ok, but what is the best way, if you can give me the idea , i can test.

OST file redirected to the shared location however its creating new OST file whenever i reconfigure user mailbox. Is there any way to use same file while configuring new profile..

Hello

sorry

use ost redirect with romaing profile

Best Solution in your scenario would be to set a OST redirection a file server and enable all users for roaming profile, so whenever they login to any machine the OST will be downloaded/updated on the file server and not locally this will help you to get rid of the N/W bandwidth as well.

Hi,

The old data would still be saved in the mailbox but only cached latest 30 days of mailbox data to Outlook client. In Outlook 2013, we can do the following for this setting:

1. Start Outlook.

2. Click Account Settings on the File tab, and then click Account Settings.

3. In the Account Settings dialog box, double-click your Microsoft Exchange account on the E-mail tab.

4. In the Change Account dialog box, drag the Mail to keep offline: slider to the desired number of months.

5. Click Next.

6. Click OK when advised you have to restart Outlook to complete the configuration change.

7. Click Finish.

8. Restart Outlook.

For more information about administering this setting via group policy for all users, please refer to the following KB:
