Conflict Between "Server Based" and "Based Rules"

[Jeffrey Walton]

Hi All,

I'm still wet behind the ears with Exchange Administration, so please
bear with me.

Environment:
Exchange 2003
Outlook 2003

We recently repaired a mailbox using MDBVU32 from an Exchange 2000 CD.
The user (a Vice President no less) received a message box stating
something similar to "Client side Rules conflict with Server side
Rules" with the following three choices:

* User Server Rules
* Use Client Rules
* Cancel

I opted for Cancel until I could research furhter, but the the message
box does not reappear (or someone has made a choice in the interm).
How does one get back in time so I can choose the Server based rules?
Better yet, how can I get both sets of rules running? I found the
following resource, but I can't find mention of the issue:

Thnaks,

I believe all you have to do is just click the Rules Wizard icon on the
toolbar. If the rules on the server don't match the rules on the client
machine, clicking this button should bring the message box back.
