Entourage/Exchange Sync Issue

[spipes]

Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) Processor: Intel Email Client: Exchange Yesterday I stopped receiving incoming mail on my laptop using Entourage 2008 and Exchange 2003. On my desktop (iMac) everything was working fine, and on OWA. I restarted Entourage and the machine a few times without success.

Overnight I rebuilt the Main Identity Database and this morning everything worked perfectly. However, when I went to my iMac it indicated that my Database on that machine was now corrupt. My Assistant, who is using Windows and Outlook told me that my calendar was blank. Sure enough everything in Outlook is now gone.

Fortunately I was able to take my laptop offline, and my full Database is still there! How do i get Exchange to now not override the Database on my laptop, but in fact take all the information from it?

Offline, do a search for items in the Exchange calendar.
In the resulting list, copy everything from the Exchange calendar to
the On My Computer one.
Online, let the server trash everything, (to make sure it's all in
sync) then do the inverse operation (search for local events, and copy
them to the Exchange calendar).

Sorry, but I don't understand. There is nothing in the Exchange calendar, it is all wiped out. I need to get everything (emails, contacts, & calendar) from my Entourage Database to Exchange. Tks

Well didn't you say you still had the data in ENtourage? If yes, it's
in the calendar for your Exchange account in Entourage. Isn't it?
I'm not saying you need to get it from the Exchange *server*, just from
the calendar for your Exchange *account* in Entourage (and while you
are offline).
