So I bit the bullet and upgraded to Office 2010 and all was well until 1. I noticed that my OST was almost 50GB and STILL GROWING, which is odd because my OST was no more than 17GB with Office 2007
a. Hmm ok so I thought maybe it was a bizarre issue adding in
additional information to my pre-existing Office 2007 OST so I deleted
the OST and started over
b. Nope again it grew with great gusto and had no intention of
stopping. Also I couldn't see any of my calendar information
2. Ok so I said heck with it for now I will turn cached mode off
a. Umm nope even if you turn cached mode off it still creates an
OST
b. Round and round I went until I found an article on this issue
that occurs on Terminal Service and Citrix boxes. Only thing is I am
running on a laptop with XP so....
i.
I went ahead anyway and followed this article just for kicks and it
worked, i.e. no more OST
For anyone who's interested, I created the following registry key to
stop the OST from growing:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Policies/Microsoft/Office/14.0/Outlook/OST
In that key I created a DWORD named NoOST and set the value to 2.
3. So I solved my OST issue for the moment with the above but;
a. Anyone know why the OST file size is so out of control?
i.
Yes I have a large mailbox and actually it's in its own database and no
more than 20GB and like I said in Outlook 2007 is was about 17GB
ii.
I would really like to run an OST but not is its going to be 3+x the
mailbox size
b. Also any insight on why O2010 decides to ignore the settings in
the profile?
