OST Recovery In Case Of Synchronization Errors in OST File

Microsoft Exchange Server is the most important component of a collaborative message environment. Exchange Server allows you to create a separate mailbox for every user and all of the mailboxes are stored in a single file, known as EDB (Exchange Server Database) file. To enhance the data access speed and performance, an exact replica of user mailbox is stored on client hard drive locally. This is saved in the form of OST file. To access data from Exchange Server, it is essential for OST (Offline Storage) file to get synchronized with Exchange mailbox and get converted into PST (Personal Storage) file. But sometimes, the synchronization can not complete successfully and thus it can not be converted into PST. In such cases, you need to manually Convert OST to PST using third party tools.

In a practical scenario, after you upgrade from Microsoft Outlook 97 to Microsoft Outlook 98, you might not be able to access data from OST file. The file becomes completely unusable and all of your critical emails, notes, contacts, calendar entries, tasks etc. gets lost. Along with this, the synchronization of OST file with Microsoft Exchange Server may not complete successfully and you might encounter any of the below given error messages:

1- The folder could not be synchronized.
2- Synchronization with offline folder file could not be completed.
3- Operation failed.

After these errors, the OST file can not be synchronized with Exchange Server and thus can not be converted into PST. In such situations, you can not access your Exchange Server mailbox and serious situations occur. At this point, you need to Convert OST File into PST using specified tools.

Root of the issue

This problem might occur when Microsoft Outlook 98 Setup does not update the required files. It may also occur due to damage to the Exchange Server user profile or Exchange Server database.
