Various Scenarios for OST corruption

MS Exchange Server allows user to work in both on and off-line mode. In both the modes user can access notes, contacts, journals, calenders and other vital information. For data safety, the copy of user mailbox is always kept at the local hard disk of the system. User can even work in the absence of the Exchange Server and all the modification gets automatically synchronized with the actual file kept on the network. But sometimes synchronization of the file fails due to:

• Exchange failure or accidental shut down.

• Power failure.

• Network failure.

Because of aforementioned scenarios the unsynchronized OST file becomes Orphaned file. It is termed so because when user again tries to resume the synchronization process, Exchange refuses to identify the file. The best solution to overcome MS Outlook issue is to convert OST data in accessible PST format regularly. Some of the common issues faced by the Outlook users are:

• orphaned OST files

Orphaning of OST file can lead to permanent corruption of the data and which can further result in data loss.
