Outlook 2003 & cached mode

[Diabolus]

Anyone know how to scan the network to see who is, and who isnt in Cached Mode for Outlook 2003?

I need to get a user list of people so we can enable them to cached mode. Going to each machine to check would be impossible, and a server deployment would cause network issues.

Help! Thanks

I see a couple ways that you should be able to do it.

if you can't figure it out that way, perhaps you could do a group policy deployment and then just add a couple users a day to the group so that you don't have everyone trying to copy over their entire mailbox on the same day.

Dude, I owe you huge... that second link describes Exmon, and that would be perfect if it works.

cant you force cached exchange mode via group policy?

you can, but I think the OP is worried about a bunch of clients all trying to cache their entire mailbox at the same time if he just does a blanket GP for everyone.

Exactly, the network would pretty much go down.
