The "Enable offline use" checkbox and the "Offline Folder File Setting..." box (under the Advanced tab) simply aren't there when viewed from within Citrix/Terminal server environment. Conversely, towards the end of setting up Outlook profile within Citrix/Terminal server environment, it never asks "Do you travel with this computer?" As stated in Q242195, this is by Microsoft's design. So, unless you know how to re-code NT/Win2k, Exchange and Outlook, it's simply not possible.
As someone mentioned earlier in this thread, you could try dumping the entire mailbox to an .PST and copying that over, that as that person also said, that would suck - as the user would have to do this everytime he/she wanted to get fully updated while away from the office. Only way to do this remotely is either through RAS (which is potentially very expensive per minute) or VPN. The road warriors can do an up-to-the-last-minute synch before hitting the road, but their local OST won't have copies of since-then e-mails that have come in. So, you're back to needing the RAS or VPN solution. You can use traditional dial-up with VPN client, or try VPN with wireless solution. Verizon has wireless internet connection solution that uses CDMA 3G transport and is very fast. We're talking consistent 40 to 60 kbps, and it'll burst up to 144 kbps (I've seen frequent 120's). People I've set it up for wirelessly dial to Verizon's local POP to get on the internet (which is initiated by VPN connection setting) launch their Outlook, and does synch's while sitting in airports, hotels, companies they're visiting, and just about everywhere else. It's entirely bearable for 3 reasons: (1) Verizon's wireless connection is very fast; (2) Netscreen VPN is very fast; and, (3) OST only synch's differences. If they don't need to synch Outlook, they simply run ICA sessions, browse the internet, etc. Verizon had promotions a few months back whereby unlimited usage for $99/mo. Motorola has iM1100 wireless solution, but it'll do 10 to 24 kbps - totally unuable. And, their entire network is behind an internet gateway (i.e. the subscribers receive IP's in 10.x.x.x range) that filters a bunch of ports. Sprint has CDMA 3G wireless solution, but I didn't get a chance to evaluate/deploy it.

It's MUCH cheaper for them to use the Internet connection in the hotel room rather than dial up from Finland back to Texas. Not to mention MUCH faster. I'm would like to get the TS/Outlook2K to create an ost on their local drive that can be accessed by their local Outlook2K while offline.

That does not sound possible at all. I access my outlook over a TS session. All of the email lives on the email server. I have a 4 gig email box. And have no speed problems at all. No PST no OST. I have no clue how or why you would try to stick an OST in the mix. I even TS my email from my local Desktop now. Why use my proc for Email when I can use someone else's. --Kevinm M, WLKMMAS, UCC+WCA, And Beyond What are you on about mate? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Johnson, Richard (NY Int) Sent: Friday, September 06, 2002 9:45 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Outlook/Citrix/offline storage Let me know if you hear anything about this.
