I have Outlook 2000 running on my server (Server 2003). All employees use
the same contact list that is running on my server. Here's how: I export
server contact list to my network shared drive as a .pst. On each
workstation (running Vista & XP & both Outlook 2000 & Outlook 2007), I import
the .pst file from the network shared drive. If a contact is deleted on the
server and removed from the deleted items folder prior to exporting the file,
why does the "deleted contact" appear on the workstations when I import?
 
Was it on the workstations before importing? Did you delete it from the
workstation's mailbox before importing? Is it in the pst you are importing?

Is Server 2003 Exchange server or windows server?

I figured it out.
My solution:
I performed a compact feature on my .pst file prior to importing it to my
workstations. All is cleaned up now.
