how to determine if cache mode on or off

[Guest]

is there a registry key I can check to see if cached mode is enabled or not
in outlook 2003 ?

thanks

Visual inspection is by looking at the status bar (bottom right) in Outlook.
Connected = Cached mode

I was hoping to avoid visiting all 300 workstations for a visual inspection ...

This is an earlier post by a fellow MVP named Roady.

Cached Exchange Mode is controlled by the following key;
[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows Messaging
Subsystem\Profiles\<ProfileName>\13dbb0c8aa05101a9bb000aa002fc45a]

00036601 (REG_BINARY)


enabled value; 84 01 00 00
enabled with Public Folders/Favorites: 84 05 00 00
disabled value; 04 00 00 00


If all profilenames of the users are the same than you can do a simple
regimport at logon. If not but if they only have a single profile you can
retrieve the profilename from here;
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows
Messaging Subsystem\Profiles]
DefaultProfile


If they have multiple profiles and Cache Mode needs to be enabled for all
profiles you'll need a more advanced script that enumerates all profile
names first and then cycle through the received values to apply changes to
all the profiles.
