Reminders...

I am running microsoft exchange server 2003, my users have xp machines with
outlook 2003 installed. When a certain user opens outlook, about 30 seconds
to a minute later it generates this error:

"There was a problem reading one or more of your reminders. Some reminders
may not appear. Cannot locate recurrence information for this appointment."

To make things even more complex... He has no pst, and when he logs into the
exchange server via webaccess, he no longer receives this error.

I have tried a few switches to see if I could clean up the error and each
time the switch errors out. Both the outlook /cleanreminders and outlook
/cleanfreebusy have come back with "operation failed". Any help would be
appreciated. Thanks!!!

After about 4 days and no thanks to this site, I fixed the problem.

I found the user's old(like 1998 old) PST and manually archived his OST
calendar events into it. I gave it an archive older than date of last month.
This made it so that only CURRENT recurring appointments were alive on his
OST. Restarted his outlook and nothing happend, no errors, no beeps and no
blue screens. Problem solved.

There was no corruption or cleaning action needed as some people have
suggested. Just a solid archive. Some people might want to make note of
that.

I am sure if you wanted to you could create a new PST and do the same thing.
But I just grabbed what I could find and if ain't broke don't fix it.
